    C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS Bulkheads and partitions must be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be partially closed in if desired.
  • Page 14: Fresh Air Supply Requirements

    D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS This appliance may only be installed in a room that meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the national installation regulations. When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the basket (tumbler), and exhausts it out of the building.
  • Page 15: Exhaust Requirements

    E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shut down of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-limit thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
  • Page 16 ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected. ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building.
  • Page 17 NOTE: Refer to the illustration below for examples of multiple dryer (common) venting. IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross-sectional area of the ductwork can only be increased to an extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits as noted in this manual, a professional heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.
