The dryer must be connected to an exhaust
outdoors. Prior to installing your new
dryer, inspect the outdoor exhaust opening
and remove any accumulation of lint around
the outdoor exhaust opening and in the
surrounding area.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
DO NOT exhaust dryer into a chimney, a
wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or
any concealed space of a building. A clothes
dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer
is not exhausted outdoors, some ne lint
will be expelled into the laundry area. An
accumulation of lint in any area of the home
can create a health and re hazard.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• DO NOT allow combustible materials
(for example: clothing, draperies/
curtains, paper) to come in contact with
exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT
be exhausted into a chimney, a wall,
a ceiling, or any concealed space of
a building which can accumulate lint,
resulting in a re hazard.
• DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the
vent system, or use any screws, rivets
or other fasteners that extend into the
duct to assemble the exhaust system. No
screen, grate, or guard of any mesh
size is allowed to cover
the exhaust opening.
Lint can become caught
in the screen, grate,
guard, or on the screws or
rivets, clogging the duct work
and creating a re hazard as well
as increasing drying times. Use an
approved vent hood to terminate the duct
outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil
tape. All male duct pipe ttings MUST be
installed downstream with the ow of air.
WARNING
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 re hazard, as well as
increase drying times.
