WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a
ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed
space of a building.
A clothes dryer produces
combustible
tint. If the dryer is not exhausted
outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled into the
laundry area. An accumulation
of lint in any area
of the home can create a health and fire hazard.
The dryer must be connected
to an exhaust
outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation
of lint
around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the
surrounding area.
FIRE HAZARD
Do not allow combustible
materials (for
example: clothing, draperies!curtains,
paper)
to come in contact with exhaust system. The
dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney,
a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a
building which can accumulate
tint, resulting in
a fire hazard.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent
system, or use any screws, rivets or other
fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble
the exhaust system. Lint can become caught
in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging
the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well
as increasing drying times. Use an approved
vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and
seal all joints with metal foil tape. All male duct
pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream
with the flow of air.
FIRE HAZARD
Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number
of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH"
charts can cause an accumulation
of lint in the
exhaust system. Plugging the system could
create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying
times.
