EXHAUSTING THE DRYER
A proper exhaust system is critical for good
drying results. Restricted airflow affects dryer
performance and results in longer drying times.
Exhaust duclwork guidelines:
Use 4" diameter rigid metal exhaust duct. Do
not usesmaller duct. Minimize the length of
duct and the number of elbows. Secure joints
with duct tape. Do not use screws.
Never use plastic or nonmetal flexible duct. This
can kink, cause lintbuildup and reduce airflow
which creates service problems.
If flexible duct must be used, useonly the type
with a stiff sheet metal wall Do not kink or
crush the duct. Do not useflexible duct with a
thin foil wall.
Clean out previously used exhaust duct.
Replace kinked or crushed sections. Besure
exhaust vent hood flap opens and closes freely.
Referto the installation instructions for
additional dryer exhaust information.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Clean the lint filter after each cycle for greater
efficiency and performance.
Avoid overloading the dryer. A proper wash
load is a proper dryer load. Do not combine
loads. Avoid drying very small loads or mixed
loads of heavy, hard_to_dryitemswith
lightweight ones.
Properly select and check exhaust venting. Four
inch rigid _netalducting is recommended to
prevent lint collection and improve dryer
operation. Periodically check the ductwork for
any obstructions that could reduce the airflow
and efficiency.
Remove items from the dryer as soon as
tumbling stops for best results and efficiency.
This reduces wrinkling and ironing.
