Exhaust System Requirements
Duct Work Requirements
Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid
or flexible 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.
NOTE
Drain hose length is 59 in. (150 cm). For
installations requiring a longer drain hose,
use hose P/N 137098000, available from
an authorized parts distributor.
NOTE
For installations requiring a longer
drain hose, have a qualified technician
install a longer drain hose (according to
your model number) available from an
authorized parts distributor. For drain
systems in the floor, install a siphon break
kit available from your local hardware
store.
1. 96” (244cm) max.
2. 24” (61 cm) min.
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.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install a laundry center 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
laundry center airflow and increase the
risk of fire.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can create
excessive drying times and fire hazards.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your laundry
center.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• A laundry canter must be exhausted
outdoors.
• DO NOT exhaust laundry center into
a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a
crawl space or any concealed space of
a building.
• A laundry center produces combustible
lint. If the laundry center is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lint
will be expelled into the laundry area.
An accumulation of lint in any area of
the home can create a health and fire
hazard.
• Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation
of lint around the outdoor exhaust
opening and in the surrounding area.
