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 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter.
• Use only those foil-type fl exible 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.
• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct
and catch lint.
In Canada:
• Use only those foil-type fl exible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance
by the manufacturer.
• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
• The exhaust duct should be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter.
Outside the U.S. and Canada:
• Refer to the local codes.
You must exhaust the dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fi re when you install the
dryer 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.
