EXHAUST VENTING RECUIREMENTS
WARNINI | FIRE HAZARD |
|
NEVER EXHAUST INTO A CHIMNEY, DUCT, GAS VENT, WALL, CEILING, ATTIC, CONFINED SPACE, BEDROOM, OR UNDER A BUILDING.
DO NOT USE VINYL, PLASTIC, CLOTH OR OTHER NONMETALIC DUCT TO EXHAUST THE DRYER.
MULTIPLE INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE INDIVIDUAL EXHAUST SYSTEMS.
DRYERS INSTALLED IN A MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOME MUST BE VENTED OUTDOORS.
PERIODICALLY CLEAN LINT FROM VENT SYSTEM. CLEAN FREQUENTLY IF USING MAXIMUM LENGTH OF VENT.
Exhausting can be accomplished directly from the rear of the cabinet, through right side of the cabinet, or down- ward through the cabinet base. If your existing ductwork is plastic, nonmetal, or combustible, replace it with METAL. Standard four inch diameter galvanized or aluminum pipe should be used. DO NOT use any pipe which may be sus-
ceptible to rust or COMBUSTION. To avoid catching lint
the crimped end of each pipe section should face away extend into the exhaust pipe or duct.
Flexible 4" diameter metal tubing may be used for exhausting the dryer. However, the convolutions create a
greaterfrom he restrictdryer. ionDo thannot usepipescrewsand seriousor other blockagefasteners canthat result if the tubing is bent too sharply. If clearance to the
wall is less than 8 inches, use a 4" sheet metal elbow at
the rear of the dryer to avoid a sharp bend in the tubing. Do not use over 8 feet (2.5 m.) of flexible metallic tubing between the elbow and the vent hood.

When the dryer stops the damper automatically closes to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To
avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum 8 inch clearance between the hood and the ground or other obstruction.

BOTTOM EXHAUSTING
If space permits behind the dryer, a 4" elbow pointeddown-
ward may be used to pass the exhaust system through the floor. If this is not possible, the dryer may be exhausted
through the bottom as illustrated in FIG. #7. When exhaust-
ing in this manner, the installation should be made accord- ing to the following steps:
1. Disconnect electric cord.
2. Raise the top of the dryer by pressing in with a putty knife on the top panel retaining clips. FIG. #5.
