Venting Requirements

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

■Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backflow of gases into the room from other fuel-burning appliances, including open fires (i.e. available airflow into the room should match airflow out from the room).

■The design of the flue system should be such that any condensate formed when operating the dryer from cold shall either be retained and subsequently re-evaporatedor discharged.

■The dryer vent must not be discharged into a flue which

is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels, chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.

■Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

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

■102 mm (4") heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.

■Use clamps to seal all joints. Vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the vent and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and insects from entering the home or business.

Exhaust hood must be at least 30.5 cm (12") from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, or bushes).

If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or flexible metal vent.
