Exhaust

Requirements

and

Instructions:

1. Venting

materials

are not provided

with the dryer

and you should

obtain

the necessary

venting

materials

locally.

For example,

the outer end of

exhaust

pipe must have a weather

hood with hinged

dampers

to prevent

back-draft

when the dryer

is not

in use.

2. The exhaust

duct must be t_ur inches

(10.2

cm) in

diameter

with no obstructions.

The exhaust

duct

should

be kept as short as possible.

Make

sure to

clean any old ducts

before

installing

your new dryer.

3. Rigid

or semi-rigid

metal

ducting

is recommended

t_r use as transition

ducting

between

the dryer

and

and the wall. In special

installations

when

it is

impossible

to make a connection

with the above

recommendations,

then a UL-listed

flexible

metal

transition

duct may be used between

the dryer

and

wall connection

only. The use of this ducting

will

affect dry time.

4. DO NOT use sheet metal

screws

on exhaust

pipe

joints

or other

fastening

means

which

extend

into

the duct that could

catch

lint and reduce

the

efficiency

of the exhaust

system.

Secure

all joints

with duct tape.

5. To maximize

operating

results,

please

observe

the

duct length

limitations

noted

in the chart

above.
