WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install flexible plastic or flexible
foil venting material.
DO NOT exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m) duct length
if installing semi-rigid venting.
DO NOT use screws, rivets or other
fasteners that extend into the duct to
assemble the exhaust system.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Never exceed more than 4-90˚ elbows in the
exhaust duct system. Exceeding the length
of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed
in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH” charts can
cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust
system. Plugging the system could create a
fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT allow combustible materials
(for example: clothing, draperies/
curtains, paper) to come in contact with
exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT
be exhausted into a chimney, a wall,
a ceiling, or any concealed space of
a building which can accumulate lint,
resulting in a fire hazard.
DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the
vent system, or use any screws, rivets
or other fasteners that extend into the
duct to assemble the exhaust system. No
screen, grate, or guard
of any mesh
size is allowed
to cover the
exhaust
opening. Lint
can become
caught in the screen, grate,
guard, or on the screws or
rivets, clogging the duct work and
creating a fire hazard as well as
increasing drying times. Use an
approved vent hood to terminate the
duct outdoors, and seal all joints with
metal foil tape. All male duct pipe fittings
MUST be installed downstream with the
flow of air.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• A clothes dryer must be exhausted
outdoors.
DO NOT
exhaust dryer into a chimney,
a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space
or any concealed space of a building.
• A clothes dryer produces combustible
lint. If the dryer 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.
• The dryer must be connected to an
exhaust outdoors.
• Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation
of lint around the outdoor exhaust
opening and in the surrounding area.
