• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of
birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to the ex-
haust air flow and should require little or no maintenance to
prevent clogging.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This
could cause lint build up.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground
level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.

• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of
each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend
into the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.
• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrap-
ping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
• Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors ½
inch per foot.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL IN-
JURY:
• This appliance must be exhausted to the outdoors.
• Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust duct.
• Use only 4" rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal (semi-
rigid or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer to the home ex-
haust duct. It must be installed in accordance with the in-
structions found in the section "Connecting The Dryer To
House Vent" on this Use & Care Guide.
• Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall, a ceiling,
gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed floor, or in
any other concealed space of a building. The accumulated
lint could create a potential fire hazard.
• Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with a
kitchen exhaust system. A combination of grease and lint
creates a potential fire hazard.
• Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust length
table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint, creating a poten-
tial fire hazard.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This will
cause lint to accumulate, creating a potential fire hazard.
• Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that extend
into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate lint, creating
a potential fire hazard.
• Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.
• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the ex-
haust system, especially at turns and joints. Exhaust system
shall be inspected and cleaned at least once a year.
