Fire Hazard
The dryer must be vented to the outdoors,
Use rigid or thick wall flexiMe meta_ exhaust duct on_y,
Do not use a p_astic exhaust duct,
Do not use a meta_ foil exhaust duct,
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire,
The dryer exhaust must be vented to the outdoors. This will prevent the build up of lint and
moisture in the room in which it is located and reduce the risk of fire.
Exhaustducting products can be purchased from your local Appliance store or Hardware store.
Never use plastic or metal foil flexible duct. This ducting can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce
airflow, extend drying times and affect dryer operation.
A minimum of 4 inch (100 ram) thick wall flexible metal or rigid galvanised metal duct must be
used. Using ducts larger than 4 inches (100 ram) diameter may result in more lint accumulating.
In Canada, the exhaust duct must be 4.02 inches (102 ram) in diameter.
Using straight rigid metal ducting will minimize lint accumulation, Thick wall flexible metal
ducting may be used but care must be exercised to avoid sharp bends which may squash the
duct and cause blockages.
Useduct tape to securejoints. Do not use screwsor any other fastening device which will
extend into the duct, as they will collect lint.
Keep ducting as short and straight as possible. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct
lengths stated later in these installation instructions. The total length of flexible metal duct used
should be no longer than 94.5 inches (2.4 m).
Do not vent the dryer into anyother duct, chimney or gas vent becauseaccumuhted lint and
other material is a potential fire hazard. Do not vent the dryer into any ceiling, attic, crawl space,
under--floorspace,wall cavity, window well or anyother
concealed cavity that will accumulate lint.
Fit an exhaust hood with a swing--out damper to the outside
end of the exhaust duct to prevent back drafts and entry of
wild life. Never use exhaust hoods with a magnetic damper.
The hood should have at least 12 inches (S05 ram) clearance
between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other
obstruction. The hood opening should point down. Never
install a screen over the exhaust outlet.
