OUTDOORS.
2. To reduce the risk of fire, do not
use ductwork longer than
recommended. Refer to the
maximum ductwork length table
(see page 12).
3. DO NOT use a plastic, metal foil,
or any other non-metal duct with
this dryer. Only rigid or flexible
metal duct shall be used for
exhausting. Metal foil and flexible
metal ducting are NOT the same.
4. DO NOT use more than 2.4 m of
flexible metal ducting.
5. DO use a duct that is 4 inches
(102 mm)in diameter.
6. DO NOT exhaust the dryer into: a
chimney, wall, ceiling, concealed
space of a building, furnace cold
air duct, attic, crawl space, or any
other ductwork used for venting.

system on a regular basis; at least
once a year.
The exhaust duct must terminate
with an approved exhaust vent
hood to prevent back drafts or
entry of birds or other wildlife.
DO NOT use exhaust hoods with
magnetic latches.
DO NOT assemble the duct work
with screws or fasteners that
extend into the duct. They serve
as an accumulation point for lint.
Joints should be secured with
aluminum tape.
Exhaust air outlet on the dryer
The dryer is delivered with an exhaust
air outlet on the rear of the appliance.
To take account of the spatial
requirements and an existing exhaust
air system, the following connection
options are possible for the exhaust air
outlet:
- on right side of the appliance,
- on the underside of the appliance.

Ductwork
The dryer vent system moves moist air
away as your clothes tumble dry. You
can shorten drying times, save energy
and help ensure the safety of the
system by making sure your dryer's
exhaust duct system is properly
installed and maintained.
Important Points to Consider:
C]
C]
Keep exhaust duct runs (total
length of the exhaust duct system
from the dryer to the exhaust hood
outside) as short as possible (refer
to the table "Maximum Ductwork
Length" on page 12.)
Use the minimum number of
elbows needed when installing the
exhaust duct system. Avoid
placing two 90 degree elbows
adjacent to one another.
