EXHAUST 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:
. Increasethe drying times and the energy cost.
. Reducethe dryer life.
, Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR
RESPONSiBiLITY. Problems due to incorrect installation
are not covered by the warranty.
Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil transition
duct and replace with ULlisted transition duct.
The MAXIMUMALLOWABLEduct length and number of
bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of
duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wallcap),
and all conditions noted below. The maximum duct length

. For every 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).

•Ductjoints can be made air and moisture-tightby wrapping the
overlapped joints with ducttape.
•Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors 1//4
inch per foot.
INSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air
conditioningshouldbe insulatedto reduce condensationand lint
build-up.
