Installing your dryer EXHAUSTING The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a building. Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the room. See "Ducting requirements" in installing your dryer section for the maximum duct length and number of bends. • All dryers must be exhausted to the outside. • The duct must not be assembled with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint. • The required exhaust duct is 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter. • The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m (7.8 ft.). In the United States: • Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Ducts, Subject 2158A, shall be used. In Canada: • Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer. Outside the U.S. and Canada: • Refer to the local codes. The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or closet. WARNING NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT. WARNING If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal. Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of the exhaust air, heat, and lint. DV457E(G)_02836E-08_EN.indd 14 English - 14 2014-04-28 6:13:16
