STEP 3 - CONNECT TO AN EXHAUST SYSTEM
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
1. Make sure that the exhaust system is free and clear of old lint accumulation prior
to connecting the dryer.
2. Use 4” (102 mm) rigid or ß exible metal ducting to connect the dryer exhaust
outlet to the exhaust system.
3. Use clamps to seal and secure all joints. Exhaust ducting must not be connected
with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the duct.
NOTES:
•
Do not use plastic or metal foil ß exible ducting. Excessive lint can build up inside
the ductwork, restrict airß ow, and create a Þ re hazard. Restricted airß ow will
increase drying time.
•
The dryer must not be exhausted into a gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling or other
concealed space of a building. The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some Þ ne lint will be expelled into the
laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health
and Þ re hazard.
