Dryer Exhaust Requirements

WARNING

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. To reduce the risk of fire and combustion gas accumulation the dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.

W116

To reduce the risk of fire and the accumulation of combustion gases, DO NOT exhaust dryer air into a window well, gas vent, chimney or enclosed, unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space under a building or concealed space of a building.

W045

To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting to exhaust the dryer.

W354

Exhaust System Materials

Exhaust system materials are not supplied with the unit.

Exhaust duct must be 102 mm (4 inches) in diameter having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Non-combustible flexible metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic or thin foil ducting, because it contributes to poor drying performance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.

Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.

DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints or other fastening means which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all duct joints with duct tape or pop-rivets.
