REQUIREMENT5

Use only

4 inch

diameter

(minimum)

rigid

or flexible

metal

duct

and

approved

vent

hood

which

has a swing-out

damper(s)

that

open

when

the

dryer

is in operation_

When

the

dryer

stops,

the

dampers

automatically

close

to

prevent

drafts

and

the

entrance

of

insects

and

rodents.

To avoid

restricting

the

outlet,

maintain

a

minimum

of

12

inches

(30.5

cm)

clearance

between

the

vent

hood

and

the

ground

or any other

obstruction

The

following

are

specific

requirements

for

proper

and

safe

operation

of

your

dryer.

Failure

to

follow

these

instructions

can

create

excessive

drying

times

and

fire

hazards.

Do

not

use

plastic

flexible

duct

to

exhaust

the

dryer

Excessive

lint

can

build

up

inside

exhaust

system

and

create

a fire

hazard

and

restrict

air

flow_

Restricted

air

flow

will

increase

dryer

times

If your

present

system

is made

up

of plastic

duct

or metal

foil

duct,

_olace

it with

a rigid or flexible

metal duct

Ensure

the

present

duct

is

free

of

any

lint

prior

to installing

dryer

duct.

__-

Risk

of

Fire

- A clothes

dryer

produces

combustible

lint

If the

dryer

is not

exhausted

outdoors,

some

fine

lint

will

be

expelled

into

the

laundry

area

An accumulation

of lint

in any area of

the

home

can

create

a health

and

fire

hazard.

The

dryer

must

be

connected

to

an exhaust

outdoors.

Regularly

inspect

the outdoor

exhaust

opening

and

remove

any

accumulation

of

lint

around

the

outdoor

exhaust

opening

and

in the

surrounding

area

Do

not

allow

combustible

materials

(for

example:

clothing,

draperies/curtains

paper)

to

come

in contact

with

exhaust

_stem

The dryer

MUSTNOTbe

exhausted

into

a chimney,

a wall,

a

ceiling,

or any concealed

space

of

a building

which

can accumulate

lint,

resulting

in a fire

hazard

Exceeding

the

length

of duct

pipe

or number

of elbows

allowed

in

the

"MAXIMUM

LENGTH"

charts

can

cause

an

accumulation

of

lint

in the

exhaust

system_

Plugging

the

system

could

create

a fire

hazard,

as well

as increase

drying

times_

Do

not

screen

the

exhaust

ends of

the

vent

system,

nor

use

any

screws

or

rivets

to

assemble

the

exhaust

system.

Lint

can

become

caught

in the

screen,

on

the

screws

or rivets,

dogging

the

duct

work

and

creating

a fire

hazard

as well

as increasing

drying

times.

Use an

approved

vent

hood

to

terminate

the

duct

outdoors,

and

seal all joints

with

duct

tape

All male

duct

pipe fittings

MUST

be

installed

downstream

with

Explosion

hazard.

Do not install the dryer where gasoline

or other flammables

are kept or stored. If the dryer is installed in a

garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns
