STEP 3 Connecting the Exhaust
and Venting System.
WARNING
!
• Use a heavy metal vent.
• Do not use plastic or thin foil duct.
• Clean old ducts before installing this dryer
• Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death or fire.
Note
Vent pipe and fittings must be installed with the
smaller ends facing away from the dryer.
Incorrect installation of the vent and improper
taping of the joints will interfere with correct
dryer and vent function.
In addition to the following warnings, please refer to
manual section on Exhaust Requirements and
Maintenance. IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of fire,
combustion, and gas accumulation, the dryer must be
vented to the outdoors. Please follow the instructions
(and all others in this manual) very carefully.
• Do not use plastic or thin foil duct.
• Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or semi-rigid
metal duct (note: venting materials are not
supplied with the dryer, and you must obtain the
venting materials necessary for proper installation)
• Position the dryer so the exhaust duct run is as
short as possible.
•
Clean old ducts before installing this dryer
• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must
point away from the dryer
• Use as few elbow joints as possible.
• Use duct tape on all duct joints
• Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated
areas in order to reduce condensation and lint
build-up on pipe walls; and
• PLEASE BE AWARE THAT FAILURE TO
EXHAUST THE DRYER CORRECTLY WILL
VOID THE DRYER'S WARRANTY.
