Exhausting US CA WARNING Fire Hazard The dryer must be vented to the outdoors. Use rigid or thick wall flexible metal exhaust duct. Do not use a plastic exhaust duct. Do not use a metal foil exhaust duct. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire. The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. This will prevent the build up of lint and moisture in the room in which it is located and reduce the risk of fire. This appliance must always be vented to the outdoors. Only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used for exhausting. In Canada and in the United States, 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 Duct, Subject 2158A, shall be used. In Canada and in the United States, the required exhaust duct diameter is 102 mm (4"). Exhaust ducting products can be purchased from your local Appliance store or Hardware store. Plastic or metal foil flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times and affect dryer operation. A minimum of 100mm (4") thick wall flexible metal or rigid galvanized metal duct must be used. Using ducts larger than 100mm (4") diameter may result in more lint accumulating. Using straight rigid metal ducting will minimize lint accumulation. Thick wall flexible metal ducting may be used but care must be exercised to avoid sharp bends which may squash the duct and cause blockages. Do not use plastic ducting or thin wall flexible metal ducting. Use duct tape to secure joints. Do not use screws as they collect lint. Keep ducting as short and straight as possible. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct lengths stated later in these installation instructions. Do not exhaust the dryer into a chimney or gas vent, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or any concealed space in a building. Do not exhaust the dryer under a house or mobile home or a porch, or into a window well or other area that will accumulate lint. The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing out damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wild life. Never use exhaust hoods with a magnetic damper. The hood should have at least 305mm (12 inches) clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down. Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet. 305mm (12") 13
