WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do not
exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a
crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A
clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is
not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled
into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area
of the home can create a health and fire hazard.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows
allowed in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH” charts can cause an
accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the
system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase
drying times.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• Do not allow combustible materials (for example:
clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in
contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT
be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling,
or any concealed space of a building which can
accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
• Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or
use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend
into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can
become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets,
clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well
as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood
to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with
metal foil duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST
be installed downstream with the flow of air.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• Do not install flexible plastic or flexible foil venting
material.
• If installing semi-rigid venting, do not exceed 8 ft.
(2.4 m) duct length.
