INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (Cont.)
Exhaust System Requirements
Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter (minimum) rigid
or flex ible metal duct and approved vent hood which
has a swing-out damper(s) that open when the dryer
is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers
automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance
of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet,
maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other
obstruction.
If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal
foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also,
ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing
dryer duct.
The following are specific requirements for proper and
safe operation of your dryer.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive
drying times and fire hazards.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic or metal
foil venting materials. Flexible venting materials are
known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These
conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase
the risk of fire.
