32 Installation instructions Exhaust Length Maximum length of exhaust duct The maximum length of the exhaust duct system depends upon: ■■ The type of ducts used (rigid or thick-walled flexible metal). ■■ The number of elbows or bends used. ■■ The type of exhaust hood (wall cap). 1 Refer to the exhaust duct length chart (page 33) that matches your hood type to determine the maximum duct lengths you can use. DO NOT use duct lengths longer than specified in the exhaust duct length charts. Using exhaust duct systems longer than is specified will: ■■ Accumulate lint creating a potential fire hazard. ■■ Shorten the life of the dryer. ■■ Reduce the performance, resulting in longer drying times and an increased energy usage. 2 Determine the number of elbows/bends you will need. 3 In the column listing the type of metal duct you are using (rigid or flexible metal), find the maximum length of metal duct on the same line as the number of elbows/bends to be used (refer to page 33). Important! ■■ Use 4" (102 mm) metal duct only. ■■ Do not use duct that is longer than that specified in the table on page 33. ■■ Flexible metal duct shall not exceed 8 feet (2.4 m) in total. The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty. WARNING! Incorrect installation of the exhaust duct may result in poor dryer performance and increase the risk of fire.
