Keep air openlngs free ot dry-
cleaning fluld fumes. Fumes create
acids which, when drawn through the
dryer heatlng unlts, can damage
dryers and loads being drled.
A
clean-out cover
should be located
on the main exhaust duct for
periodlcally cleaning the exhaust
system.
An
exhaust hood
should cap the
outside end of the main duct to
prevent exhausted air from returning
to the dryers. If an exhaust hood
cannot be used, the outside end of
the main duct should have a sweep
elbow directed downward. If the
main duct travels vertically through
the roof rather than through the wall,
install 180” sweep elbow on the end
of duct at least 61 cm (2 feet) above
the highest part of the building. The
opening wall or roof shall have a
diameter 1.3 cm (l/2 inch) larger
than the exhaust duct diameter. The
exhaust duct should be centered in
the opening.

Exhaust duct connection Determine which direction you need
to attach the exhaust ducts to the
dryers, Both dryers can be exhausted
straight out the back or from the right
or left side. The lower dryer can also
be exhausted through the bottom.
Next, determine the length of exhaust
duct you will need to connect the
dryers to exhaust hoods or the main
exhaust.
To connect exhaust duct
straight out the back -
Attach exhaust duct to each dryer
duct. Then connect exhaust ducts to
exhaust hoods or main exhaust. Use
duct tape to seal all joints.
To connect exhaust duct to
the right, left or bottom -
Use one of the following kits to convert
the dryers. Follow kit instructions to
avoid operating problems.

The installation spacing is in
centimeters and inches and is the
minimum allowable. Additional
spacing should be considered for
ease of installation, servicing and
compliance with local codes and
ordinances.
If closet door is installed, the mlnimum
unobstructed air openings in the top
and bottom are required. Door must
have two centered openings as
illustrated. Both openings must
provide a minimum of 465 sq cm
(72 square inches) of unobstructed
airflow as shown. Louvered doors with
equivalent air openlngs are
acceptable.
FOR CLOSET INSTALLATIONS, TO
PREVENT LARGE AMOUNTS OF LINT

DRYING EFFICIENCY, AND TO PREVENT
EXPOSURE TO POSSIBLE HEALTH
HAZARDS, DRYERS MUST BE EXHAUSTED
