EXHAUST INFORMATION
kWARNING
- 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 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
these instructions and local codes.
. 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 potential 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 inspectedand cleaned at least once a year.
. In special installations, it may be necessary to connect
the dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil-
type) duct. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) duct
may be used ONLYin installations where rigid metal or
flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND
where a 4" diameter can be maintained throughout
the entire length of the transition duct. In Canada and
in the United States, only the flexible metal (foil-type)
ducts that comply with the "Outline for Clothes Dryer
Transition Duct Subject 2158A" shall be used.
