VENTING
Venting Requirements
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space
of a building. Only rigid or flexible metal vent shall be used
for exhausting.
4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent
Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps
■
may be used.
Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■
Rigid metal vent:
Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
■
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent:
(Acceptable only if accessible to clean)
Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.
■
Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may
■
result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
■
The total length should not exceed 7¾ ft. (2.4 m).
■
The length of flexible metal vent used must be included
■
in the overall vent system design as shown in the "Vent
System Charts."
NOTE:
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged
with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal
or flexible metal vents. Review "Vent System Charts" and, if
necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying
performance.
