IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning solvent fumes. Make-up air that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage to the motors and other dryer components.

NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.

E.EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS

1.General Exhaust Ductwork Information

Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-heat thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.

CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors.

CAUTION: DRYER MUST BE EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS.

CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

NOTE: When a dryer is exhausted separately, it is recommended that a back draft damper be installed.

NOTE: When dryers are exhausted into a multiple (common) exhaust line, each dryer must be supplied with a back draft damper.

The exhaust ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended. When single dryer venting is used, the ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters). In the case of multiple (common) dryer venting, the distance from the last dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters). The shape of the ductwork is not critical so long as the minimum cross section area is provided. It is suggested that the use of 90º turns in ducting be avoided; use 30º and/or 45º angles instead. The radius of the elbows should preferably be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the duct. Excluding basket (tumbler)/dryer elbow connections or elbows used for outside protection from the weather, no more than two (2) elbows should be used in the exhaust duct run. If more than two (2) elbows are used, the cross section area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to number of elbows added.
