The laundry center must be connected to
an exhaust outdoors. Prior to installing
your new laundry center, inspect the
outdoor exhaust opening and remove any
accumulation of lint around the outdoor
exhaust opening and in the surrounding
area.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• DO NOT allow combustible materials
(for example: clothing, draperies/
curtains, paper) to come in contact
with exhaust system. The laundry
center 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
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 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.
Exhaust Direction
Directional exhausting can be accomplished
by installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow
directly to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent
elbows are available through your local parts
distributor or hardware store.
