Exhaust System Requirements - Haier GDE560BW User Manual

EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

This section describes the requirements for a safe and efficient exhaust
system. Failure to follow these instructions can result in poor dryer
performance, damage to the dryer, and a re hazard.
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
•
The dryer shall not be exhausted into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, or
concealed space of a building.
DUCTING
•
If your current exhaust system is constructed of plastic or metal foil exible
ducting, replace it with rigid metal ducting.
•
Use only 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigid metal ducting.
•
When making turns in the ductwork, use 45° elbows rather than 90° elbows. This
provides better air ow and can reduce the accumulation of lint in the exhaust
system.
•
Do not exceed the length of duct pipe for the number of elbows shown in the
chart below. Doing so can cause an accumulation of lint, an increase in drying
time, and the creation of a re hazard.
•
Two 45° elbows equal one 90° elbow.
