INFORMATION
WARNING
-
IN CANADA
AND
IN
THE UNITED STATES, THE REQUIRED
EXHAUST
DUCT
DIAMETER
IS 4 in (102ram).
DO
NOT
USE DUCT LONGER THAN
SPECIFIED
IN THE
EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaust longer than specified length will:
, Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
, Reduce the dryer life.
, Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
The correct exhaust installation is YOURRESPONSIBILITY.
Problems due to incorrect installation
are not covered
by the warranty.
Remove and discard existing
plastic or metal foil
transition duct and replace with UL listed transition duct.
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE duct length and number of
bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of
duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall
cap), and all conditions noted below. The maximum duct
length for rigid metal duct is shown in the table below.

, Forevery extra 90° elbow, reduce the allowable vent system
length by 10 ft.
, Two 45° elbows will be treated like one 90° elbow.
, For the side exhaust installations, add one 90° elbow to the
chart.
,The total vent system length includes all the straight
portions and elbows of the system (transition duct included).
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD ORWALL CAP
, Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of
birds or other wildlife.
, Termination should present minimal resistance to the
exhaust airflow 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.
SEPARATION OFTURNS
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of
straight duct, including distance between last turn and
exhaust hood.
TURNSOTHERTHAN 90°
, One turn of 450 or less may be ignored.
, Two 45o turns should be treated as one 90o turn.
, Eachturn over 45 oshould be treated as one 90oturn.
