The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the

laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.

exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork can cause a fire. Punctured

ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.

backdraft when the dryer is not in use, Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
