    C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 12-inches (18-inches or more is recommended for ease of installation, maintenance, and service) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed in if desired.

  • Page 15 IMPORTANT: Make-up air openings should not be located near ductwork exhaust outlets. If make-up air openings are too close to the exhaust outlet, lint and fumes may be drawn back into the dryer area through these openings. NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.

  • Page 16: 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 shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-heat thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
  • Page 17 NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this opening. NOTE: As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for type 2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material.
  • Page 18 2. Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a common main duct. The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45º...
