The dryer exhaust system MUST be exhausted to the outdoors. 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. 3. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the "Maximum Length" chart can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times. 4. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system. Lint can become caught in the screen, increasing drying time. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape. 5. All male duct pipe fittings must be installed downstream with the flow of air. 6. Exhaust duct must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the duct. 7. Do not allow combustible material (clothing, draperies/curtains, paper, etc.) to come in contact with exhaust system. A Explosion hazard: Do not install the dryer where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns. Exhaust Requirements: Use only rigid of flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swingout damper hat 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 (30.5cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction. The vent flap should be able to move freely, although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable. Certain extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer: 7 English 1. Only rigid metal duct work should be used. 2. Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction. 3. Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated area may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint. 4. Compression of crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in vent restriction. 5. I n Canada, that only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer shall be used. In the United States, that only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the UL Outline for clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A (2006), shall be used. 6. I n Canada, that the exhaust duct shall be 102 mm in diameter. In the United States, the required exhaust duct diameter. The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 12 months with normal usage. The more the dryer is used the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation. Side and Bottom Exhaust For your convenience, your dryer can be exhau...
