SYSTEM
REQUIREMENTS
Use only4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) dgid or flexible
metaI duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the
dryer stops, the dampers automatically cIose to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting
the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
_'!",'f-'I:1,'11_[€1The following
are specific requirements
for proper and safe operation of your dryer, Failure to
follow these instructions
can create excessive
drying
times and fire hazards.
[]
Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer.
Excessive lint can build up inside exhaust system and create
a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air flow wilt increase
dryer times. If your present system is made up of plastic duct
or metal foil duct, re_lace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct.
Ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing
dryer duct.
[]
If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will
be expeIled into the Iaundry area. An accumulation of lint in
any area of the building can create a health and fire hazard.
The dryer exhaust system MUST be exhausted
to the
outside of the building!
[]
Do not aItow combustible materials (for exampIe: cIothing,
draperies/curtains,
paper) to come in contact with exhaust
system. The dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney,
a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a buiIding which
can accumuIate Iint, resulting in a fire hazard.
[]
Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows
aItowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can cause an
accumulation
of tint in the exhaust system.
PIugging the
system couId create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying
times.
[]
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor
use any screws or rivets to assembIe the exhaust system.
Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets,
clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as
increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate
the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape. AII male
duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow
of air.
[IV,'h-1;t_ll_(_ Explosion hazard. Do not install the dryer
where gasoIine or other flammables are kept or stored. If the
dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18
inches
