EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Use only 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that opens when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the damper(s) automatically closes to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (38.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction. The following are specific requirements for proper and safe operation of your laundry center. Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards. Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer. Excessive lint can build up inside the exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air flow will increase drying times. If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing laundry center dryer duct. 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 exhaust system MUST be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling! Do not allow combustible materials (for example: clothing,draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with the 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 exceed the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the” EXHAUST DUCT LENGTHS” chart. Lint can accumulate in the system, plugging the system and creating a fire hazard, as well as increasing drying times. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use any screws or rivets to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the exhaust system 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 duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow of air. Explosion hazard. Do not install the laundry center where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored.If the laundry center is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns. The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct used, number of elbows and type of exhaust hood. The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in the chart below. The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with rear flush installation: 1. Straight back 2. Down (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct and 1 elbow down) 3. Left (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow left) 4. Right (8 inch [20.32 cm] length of 4 inch [10.16 cm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow right) To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (27.94 cm) length of standard 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The unit will be positioned about 4½ inches (11.43 cm) away from the wall (flush to wall exhausting may be done by going below the dryer then sideways). The exhaust system back pressure MUST not exceed 0.75 inches (1.89 cm) of water column, measured with an inclined manometer at the point the exhaust connects to the dryer. The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every two years with normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
