Exhaust Direction

Installation

∙Static pressure in exhaust duct should not be greater than .6 inches water column (1.5 cm), measured with manometer placed on exhaust duct two feet (61 cm) from dryer (check with dryer running and no load). In multi-dryer installations, all dryers connected to the main collector duct should be operating when pressure is checked.

∙Exhausting dryer in hard-to-reach locations can be done by installing 521P3 Flexible Metal Vent Kit (available as optional equipment at extra cost).

∙Sufficient make-up air must be supplied to replace the air exhausted by the dryer. The free area of any opening for outside air must be at least 40 in2 (260 cm2).

∙Energy efficient buildings with low air infiltration rates should be equipped with an air exchanger that can accommodate on demand make-up air needs in the laundry room. These devices can be obtained through your building contractor or building material suppliers.

∙Do not draw make-up air from a room containing a gas fired water heater, a dry cleaner or a hair salon.

∙Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.

NOTE: Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer (obtain locally).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the bottom of the dryer’s front panel with laundry, rugs, etc. Blockage will decrease airflow through the dryer, thus reducing the efficiency of the dryer.

The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the back, left, right or bottom of the dryer. EXCEPTION:

Gas dryers cannot be vented out the left side because of the burner housing.

Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust.

Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom can be accomplished by installing a Directional Exhaust Kit, 528P3, available as optional equipment at extra cost.
