EXHAUSTING
Exhausting the Dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the
room.
In the United States:
• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
• The required exhaust duct is 4 inch (102 mm) in diameter.
• Only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by
the manufacturer and that comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject
2158A, shall be used.
• The duct shall not be assembled with screws or other fastening means that extend into the
duct and catch lint.
In Canada:
• Only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by
the manufacturer shall be used.
• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
• The exhaust duct should be 4 inch (102 mm) in diameter.
Outside the U.S. and Canada:
• Refer to the local codes.
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an
alcove or closet.
NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT.
If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal.
Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of exhaust air,
heat, and lint.
