EXHAUST INFORMATION WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury: • This clothes dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. • Use only 4″ rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust duct . • Use only 4″ rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer to the home exhaust duct. It must be installed in accordance with the instructions found in "Connecting the Dryer to House Vent" on page 7 of this manual. • Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed floor, or in any other concealed space of a building. • Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of grease and lint creates a potential fire hazard. • Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust length table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard. • Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This will cause lint to accumulate, creating a potential fire hazard. • Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that extend into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard. • Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air. • Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints. Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at least once a year. • Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil duct and replace with UL-listed duct. • Remove any lint from the wall exhaust opening.
