EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible
metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the
dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer.
Excessive lint can build up inside exhaust system and create a
fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air flow will increase
dryer times. If your present system is made up of plastic duct or
metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct.
If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be
expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any
area of the building can create a health and fire hazard.
Do not allow combustible materials (for example: clothing,
draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust
system. The dryer

accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system
could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use
any screws or rivets to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can
become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging
the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as increasing
drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct
outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe

gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is
installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7
cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
fire or burns.
