Exhaust requirements

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use a plastic vent. Do not use a metal foil vent. Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

Do not use non-metal flexible vent, metal vent that is smaller than four inches in diameter or exhaust hoods with magnetic latches.

The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

Do not exhaust dryer into a gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, or concealed space of a building.

Do not install flexible vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.

If using an existing exhaust system, clean lint from entire length of exhaust system. Make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint.

The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned yearly.

Replace any plastic or metal foil exhaust vent with rigid metal or flexible metal vent.

Use 4" (10.2 cm) vent clamps to secure vent system.

Four-inch (10.2 cm) metal exhaust vent is required. Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

Metal flexible vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE VENT. The metal flexible vent must be completely open to allow adequate exhaust air to flow.

Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. Remove excess flexible vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced air flow.

Exhaust outlet is located at the center of the bottom dryer back.

The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer or straight out the back of the dryer.

Maximum length of exhaust system depends upon the type of vent used, number of elbows and type of exhaust hood. The maximum length for both rigid and flexible vent is shown in the chart.
