E3 Check and clean the exhaust duct
system and exhaust hood at least
once each year, and any time you
suspect dryer performance is
decreased.
Remove accumulated lint to
prevent diminished air flow or
clogging of the system.
Professional cleaning is
recommended annually and when
attaching your dryer to a previously
used exhaust duct system.
_1 Replace any plastic or metal foil
venting sections with rigid metal or
flexible metal ducting. Rigid metal
ducting is recommended.
D Correct exhaust system installation
is the responsibility of the
consumer.
Problems that result from
incorrect installation are not
covered by the appliance
warranty.
Exhaust ducting which is longer than
specified in the maximum ductwork
length table on page 12 is not
permitted. Not adhering to this table
will extend drying time, cause lint to
accumulate and affect dryer
performance and dryer life-time.
All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.
The male end of each duct section
must point away from the dryer.
Whether connecting to an existing
venting system or a new venting
system, make sure that all ducting is
clean and free of lint.
The maximum permitted length for
rigid duct and for rigid duct used with
flexible metal duct is shown in the table
below. If using flexible metal ducting to
connect the appliance to the ductwork
system, the total length of flexible
metal duct used shall not exceed 2.4 m
and can only be used to connect the
dryer to the ductwork system. As the
table below shows, the maximum
overall ductwork length is reduced if
flexible ducting is used.

Note:
Side and bottom exhaust installations
have a 90° turn inside the dryer. Take
this into account when using the table
above.
More than two 90° turns are not
recommended. For best performance,
separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of
straight duct, including distance
between last turn and exhaust hood.

Exhaustventhood
The exhaust duct must end with an
approved exhaust vent hood with
swing out damper(s). DO NOT use an
exhaust vent hood with magnetic
latches.
To avoid exhaust restriction, the outlet
must be a minimum of 12 inches (30
cm) above ground level or any other
obstructing surface.
