Installation

Exhaust System

IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as possible.NOTE: Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing your new dryer unit.

For best drying results, recommended maximum length of exhaust system is shown in Table 2.

To prevent backdraft when dryer unit is not in operation, outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers (obtain locally).

NOTE: Weather hood should be installed at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) above the ground. Larger clearances may be necessary in areas where heavy snowfall can occur.
