INFORMATION
WARNING -IN CANADA
AND INTHE
UNITED STATES,THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT
DIAMETER IS 4 IN (102ram). DO NOT USE DUCT
LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST
LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaustlonger than specifiedlengthwill:
• Increasethe drying times and the energy cost.
• Reducethe dryer life.
• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
Thecorrect exhaust installation is YOURRESPONSIBILITY.
Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by
the warranty.
Removeand discord existing plastic or metal foil transition
duct and replacewith ULlistedtransition duct.
TheMAXIMUMALLOWABLE duct length and number of
bendsof the exhaust systemdependsupon the type of duct,
number of turns, the tgpe of exhaust hood (wallcap),and all
conditions noted below.The maximum duct length for rigid
metal duct is shown in the table below.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD OR WALL CAP
• Terminatein a manner to prevent back drafts or entrg of birds
or other wildlife.
• Terminationshouldpresent minimal resistanceto the exhaust
air flow and should require little or no maintenanceto prevent
clogging.
•Never install a screenin or over the exhaust duct. Thiscould
cause lint build up.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in.above ground level
or any other obstruction with the opening pointeddown.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
Forbest performance,separate all turns bg at least 4 ft. of
straight duct, includingdistance between last turn and exhaust
hood.
TURNS OTHER THAN90°
• Oneturn of 45° or less meg be ignored.
• Two 450turns shouldbe treated as one 900turn.
• Eachturn over450 shouldbe treated as one 900turn.
SEALING OFJOINTS
• Alljoints should be tight to avoid leaks.The male end of each
section of duct must point awag from the dryer.
• Do not assemblethe ductwork with fasteners that extend into
the duct. They will serve as a collectionpoint for lint.
• Ductjoints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping
the overlappedjoints with duct tape.
• Horizontalruns shouldslopedown toward the outdoors l_inch
per foot
INSULATION
Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or is near air
conditioning shouldbe insulatedto reducecondensationand
lint build-up.
