[] EXHAUST
INFORMATION
A
JIIWARNING
- USE ONLY METAL
4-IN. DUCT.
DO NOT USE DUCT
LONGER
THAN
SPECIFIED
IN THE
EXHAUST
LENGTH
TABLE.
Using
exhaust
longer
than specified
length
will:
• Increase
the drying
times
and the energy
cost.
• Reduce
the dryer
life.
• Accumulate
lint, creating
a potential
fire hazard.
The
correct
exhaust
installation
is YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY.
Problems
due to incorrect
installation
are
not covered
by the warranty.
The MAXIMUM
ALLOWABLE
length
of the exhaust
system
depends
upon
the type of duct, nmnber
of turns,
the type
of
exhaust
hood
(wall cap), and all conditions
noted
below.
Both
rigid
and flexible
metal
duct are shown
in the table

EXHAUST
SYSTEM
CHECK LIST
HOOD
OR WALL CAP
• Terminate
in a manner
to prevent
back draf& or entry of birds or
other wildlifK
• Termination
should present
minimal
resistance
to the exhaust
air flow
and should require little or no maintenance
to prevent
clogging.
• Never install a screen in or over tfie exhaust duct. This could cause lint build up.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above g_ound level or any other
obstruction
with the opening
pointed down.
• If roof vents or louvered
plenums
are used, they must be equivalent
to a
4-in. dampened
wall cap in regard to resistance
to air flow, prevention
of
back drafts, and maintenance
required
to prevent
cloggting.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
For best performance,
separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct,
including
distance between
last turn and exhaust
hood.
TURNS
OTHER
THAN
90 °
• One turn of 450 or less may be ignored.
• Two 450 turns should be treated as one 90 ° turn.
• Each turn over 45 o should be treated
as one 900 turn.
SEALING OFJOINTS
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of
duct must point away from the dryer.
• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend into the duct.
They will serve as a collection point fbr lint.
• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the
overlapped joints with duct tape.
• Horizontal runs should slope down toward tile outdoors 1/2 inch per foot
INSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning
should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.
