IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES, THE
REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT DIAMETER IS 4 in
(102ram). 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 bg the warranty.
Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil
transition duct and replace with UL listed
transition duct.
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE duct length and number of
bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of
duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall
cap), and all conditions noted below. The maximum duct
length for rigid metal duct is shown in the table below.
