02 INSTALLATION If the new dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make sure: • The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes. • That a flexible plastic duct is not used. • To inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct. • The duct is not dented or crushed. • The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely. • The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be less than 0. • This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust duct connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be empty and the lint filter clean. Exhausting The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a building. Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the room. • All dryers must be exhausted to the outside. • Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint. • The exhaust duct should be 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter. • The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m (7.8 ft.). In the United States: Use 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 Ducts, Subject 2158A. In Canada: Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer. Outside the U.S. and Canada: Refer to the local codes. WARNING • The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or closet. • NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT. If your existing ductwork 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.
