Alternate Exhaust
Methods
There are exhaust kits
A.
available that allow you to
direct filtered exhaust
air inside to conserve energy during
winter months. You may use these
devices with the Laundry Center dryer
providing their use does not violate
national or local codes, and the device
does not restrict exhaust air flow. If you
use one of these kits, be aware that
excessive moisture in the home can
cause many problems and that you may
see an increase in the time required to
dry a load. Also, you must maintain the
kit installation properly to avoid
excessive lint buildup, which can affect
the dryer's performance.
For mobile home installa-
B.
tion, the dryer must have an
outside exhaust. If you
exhaust the dryer through the floor and
the area under your mobile home is
enclosed, the exhaust system must
terminate outside the enclosed area.
Extension beyond the enclosure will
prevent lint and moisture buildup under
the mobile home. See Figure 7.
