•DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting. Rigid metal duct is recommended.

•Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.

•Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing your new dryer.

•Use 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid or flexible metal duct.

•The male end of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.

•Use as few elbows as possible.

•Use duct tape or pop-rivets on all duct joints. DO NOT use sheet metal screws or fasteners on exhause pipe joints which extend into the duct.

•Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint build-up on pipe walls.

•Install backdraft dampers in multi-dryer installations.

•In mobile home installations, dryer exhaust duct must be secured to mobile home structure.

•Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under mobile home.

•Dryer exhausts 220 cfm (measured at back of dryer).

•DO NOT install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.

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.
