INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 10-Cycle Electric and Gas Dryers Exhausting requirements WARNING: Do not exhaust your dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space in a building. Your dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or closet. Exhausting the dryer to the outside prevents large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the room. WARNING: NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT • If your existing duct work is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal. • Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of the exhaust air heat and lint. • Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fasteners that extend into the duct or that catch lint. • The exhaust duct should be 4 in. (10.2 cm) in diameter. • The total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7.8 ft. (2.4 m). • Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with your dryer by the manufacturer. • In the U.S., make sure that the ducts comply with the outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Ducts, Subject 2158A. See Duct requirements on page 16 for the maximum duct length and number of bends. www.insigniaproducts.com 15
