Installation Instructions

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)

WARNING

USE ONLY METAL 4” DUCT. DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Ducting longer than 150 equivalent feet will:

•Increase the drying times and the energy cost.

•Reduce the dryer life.

•Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

The correct exhaust installation is your responsibility.

Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty.

The length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns and the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. Both rigid and flexible metal ducts are shown in the table.

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length should not exceed 150 equivalent feet.
