Exhaust air connection The following warnings must be adhered to without exception. d WARNING 1. To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS. 2. To reduce the risk of fire, do not use ductwork longer than recommended. Refer to the maximum ductwork length table (see page 14). 3. DO NOT use a plastic, metal foil, or any other nonĆmetal duct with this dryer. Only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used for exhausting. Metal foil and flexible metal ducting are NOT the same. 4. DO NOT use more than 2.4 m of flexible metal ducting. 5. DO NOT use a duct smaller than 4 inches in diameter. 6. DO NOT exhaust the dryer into: a chimney, wall, ceiling, concealed space of a building, furnace cold air duct, attic, crawl space, or any other ductwork used for venting. 7. DO NOT install a flexible duct in an enclosed wall, ceiling or floor. 8. DO NOT crush or kink the duct. 9. Do clean and inspect the exhaust system on a regular basis; at least once a year. 10. The exhaust duct must terminate with an approved exhaust vent hood to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or other wildlife. 11. DO NOT use exhaust hoods with magnetic latches. 12. DO NOT assemble the duct work with screws or fasteners that extend into the duct. They serve as an accumulation point for lint. Joints should be secured with aluminum tape. Exhaust air outlet on the dryer The dryer is delivered with an exhaust air outlet on the rear of the appliance. To take account of the spatial requirements and an existing exhaust air system, the following connection options are possible for the exhaust air outlet: - on right side of the appliance, - on the underside of the appliance. 2 1 3 1 ć Exhaust air outlet on the rear of the appliance (standard) 2 ć Exhaust air outlet on the side (optional) 3 ć Exhaust air outlet on the underside of the appliance (optional) Special exhaust air connections can be obtained from your dealer, part supplier or customer service for either connection type (see page 15). - Side exhaust kit - Bottom exhaust kit A qualified technician should change the exhaust air outlet to the optional connection location. Ductwork The dryer vent system moves moist air away as your clothes tumble dry. You can shorten drying times, save energy and help ensure the safety of the system by making sure your dryer's exhaust duct system is properly installed and maintained. Important Points to Consider: q Keep exhaust duct runs (total length of the exhaust duct system from the dryer to the exhaust hood outside) as short as possible (refer to the table Maximum Ductwork Length" on page 14.) q Use the minimum number of elbows needed when installing the exhaust duct system. Avoid placing two 90 degree elbows adjacent to one another. q Check and clean the exhaust duct system and exhaust hood at least once each year, and any time you suspect dryer performance is decreased. Remove accumulated lint to prevent diminished air flow or clogging of the system. Professional cleaning is recommended annually and when attaching your dryer to a previously used exhaust duct system. q Replace any plastic or metal foil venting sections with rigid metal or flexible metal ducting. Rigid metal ducting is recommended. i Correct exhaust system installation is the responsibility of the consumer. Problems that result from incorrect installation are not covered by the appliance warranty. Exhaust ducting which is longer than specified in the maximum ductwork length table on page 14 is not permitted. Not adhering to this table will extend drying time, cause lint to accumulate and affect dryer performance and dryer lifeĆtime. 13

Ductwork
The
dryer
vent
system
moves
moist
air
away
as
your
clothes
tumble
dry.
You
can
shorten
drying
times,
save
energy
and
help
ensure
the
safety
of
the
system
by
making
sure
your
dryer's
exhaust
duct
system
is
properly
installed
and
maintained.
Important
Points
to
Consider:
q
Keep
exhaust
duct
runs
(total
length
of
the
exhaust
duct
system
from
the
dryer
to
the
exhaust
hood
outside)
as
short
as
possible
(refer
to
the
table
²Maximum
Ductwork
Length"
on
page
14.)
q
Use
the
minimum
number
of
elbows
needed
when
installing
the
exhaust
duct
system.
Avoid
placing
two
90
degree
elbows
adjacent
to
one
another.
q
Check
and
clean
the
exhaust
duct
system
and
exhaust
hood
at
least
once
each
year,
and
any
time
you
suspect
dryer
performance
is
decreased.
Remove
accumulated
lint
to
prevent
diminished
air
flow
or
clogging
of
the
system.
Professional
cleaning
is
recommended
annually
and
when
attaching
your
dryer
to
a
previously
used
exhaust
duct
system.
q
Replace
any
plastic
or
metal
foil
venting
sections
with
rigid
metal
or
flexible
metal
ducting.
Rigid
metal
ducting
is
recommended.
i
Correct
exhaust
system
installation
is
the
responsibility
of
the
consumer.
Problems
that
result
from
incorrect
installation
are
not
covered
by
the
appliance
warranty.
Exhaust
ducting
which
is
longer
than
specified
in
the
maximum
ductwork
length
table
on
page
14
is
not
permitted.
Not
adhering
to
this
table
will
extend
drying
time,
cause
lint
to
accumulate
and
affect
dryer
performance
and
dryer
lifeĆtime.
