VENTING

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

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

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space of a building. Only rigid or flexible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.

4"

(102 mm)

4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent

■■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps may be used.

■■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

■■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean) ■■ Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.

■■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.

■■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors. ■■ The total length should not exceed 73/4 ft. (2.4 m).

NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal or flexible metal vents. Review Vent System Chart and if necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying performance.
