EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts

or entry of birds or other wildlife.

• Termination should present minimal resistance

to the exhaust airflow and should require little

or no maintenance to prevent clogging.

• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust

duct. This could cause lint buildup.

• Wall caps must be installed at least 12″ above

ground level or any other obstruction with the

opening pointed down.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

For best performance, separate all turns

by at least 4 ft. of straight duct, including

the distance between the last turn and

the exhaust hood.

TURNS OTHER THAN 90º

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

• Two 45º turns should be treated as one

90º turn.

• Each turn over 45º should be treated as

one 90º turn.

SEALING OF JOINTS

• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.

The male end of each section of duct must

point away from the dryer.

• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners

that extend into the duct. They will serve as

a collection point for lint.

• Duct joints can be made air- and moisture-tight

by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct

tape.

• Horizontal runs should slope down toward

the outdoors 1/2″ per foot.

INSULATION

Ductwork that runs through an unheated area

or is near air conditioning should be insulated

to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

WARNING – USE ONLY METAL

4″ DUCT. DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN

SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Using exhaust longer than specified length will:

• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.

• Reduce the dryer life.

• Accumulate lint, creating a potential

fire hazard.

The correct exhaust installation is YOUR

RESPONSIBILITY.

Problems due to incorrect installation

are not covered by the warranty.

The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length 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.
