[] EXHAUST INFORMATION
A
JIIWARNING - USE ONLY METAL 4-IN. DUCT.
DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED
IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaust longer than specified length will:
Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
Reduce the dryer life.
Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered
by the warranty.
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length of the exhaust system
depends upon the type of duct, nmnber of turns, the type of
exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. Both
rigid and flexible metal duct are shown in the table below.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD OR WALL CAP
Terminate in a manner to prevent back draf& or entry of birds or
other wildlifK
Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust air flow
and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.
Never install a screen in or over tfie exhaust duct. This could cause lint build up.
Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above g_ound level or any other
obstruction with the opening pointed down.
If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a
4-in. dampened wall cap in regard to resistance to air flow, prevention of
back drafts, and maintenance required to prevent cloggting.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct,
including distance between last turn and exhaust hood.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90°
One turn of 450 or less may be ignored.
Two 450 turns should be treated as one 90 ° turn.
Each turn over 45 o should be treated as one 900 turn.
SEALING OFJOINTS
All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of
duct must point away from the dryer.
Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend into the duct.
They will serve as a collection point fbr lint.
Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the
overlapped joints with duct tape.
Horizontal runs should slope down toward tile outdoors 1/2 inch per foot
INSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning
should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.
