EXHAUST INFORMATION

A WARNING - IN CANADA AND IN THE UNITED

STATES, THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT DIAMETER

IS 4 IN (102mm). DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER

THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Using exhaust longer than specified length will:

• Increase the diying times and the energy cost.

• Reduce the diyer life.

• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Prohlems due to incorrect installation are not covered

by the warranty.

Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil transition

duct and replace with UL listed transition duct.

The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE duct length and number of

bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct,

number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all

conditions noted below. The maximum duct length for rigid

metal duct is shown in the table below.

EXHAUST LENGTH

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entiv of birds or

other wildlife.

• Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust air flow

and should rec|uire little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.

• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.This could cause lint build up.

• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. abo\e ground level or anv other

obstruction with the opening pointed down.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

For best performance, separate all turns bv at least 4 ft. of straight duct,

including distance between last turn and exhaust hood.

TURNS OTHER THAN 90°

• One turn of 45° or less may be ignored.

• Two 45° turns should be treated as one 90° turn.

• Each turn over 45° should be treated as one 90° turn.

SEALING OF JOINTS

• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of

duct must point awav from the dryer.

• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend into the duct.

They will serve as a collection point for lint.

• Ductjoints can be made air and moisture-tight bv wrapping the

overlapped Joints with duct tape.

• Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors Vf inch per foot

INSULATION

Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning

should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.
