Installation
SEALING OF JOINTS
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of
each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
• The duct shall not be assembled
with screws or other
fastening
means that extend into the duct and catch lint.
• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight
by
wrapping
the overlapped
joints with duct tape.
• Horizontal
runs should slope down toward the 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.
_-I EXHAUST CONNECTION
- WARNING
- TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:
• This clothes dryer must be exhausted
to the outdoors.
• Use only 4" rigid metal ducting
for the home exhaust
duct.
• Use only 4" rigid
metal
or UL-listed
flexible
metal
(semi-rigid
or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer to the
home exhaust duct. It must be installed in accordance
with the instructions
found in "Connecting
the Dryer to
House Vent" on pages 4-5 of this manual.
• Do not terminate
exhaust
in a chimney,
a wall, a
ceiling, gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed
floor, or in any other concealed
space of a building.
The accumulated
lint could create a fire hazard.
• Never terminate
the exhaust into a common
duct with
a kitchen
exhaust
system.
A combination
of grease
and lint creates a potential
fire hazard.
• Do not use duct longer than specified
in the exhaust
length
table.
Longer
ducts
can
accumulate
lint,
creating
a potential
fire hazard.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This
will cause lint to accumulate,
creating
a potential
fire
hazard.
• Do not assemble
ductwork
with any fasteners
that
extend into the duct. These fasteners
can accumulate
lint, creating
a potential
fire hazard.
• Do not obstruct
incoming
or exhausted
air.
• Provide an access for inspection
and cleaning
of the
exhaust system, especially at turns and joints. Exhaust
system shall be inspected
and cleaned at least once a
year.
There are multiple
installation
options.
Select the most appropriate
method
for
your installation
situation.
