FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION, SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PACKED WITH YOUR DRYER.
DUCTING MATERIALS:
For best performance, this dryer should be vented with 4" diameter all
rigid metal exhaust duct. If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed
flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077). In special
installations, it may be necessary to connect the dryer to the house vent using
a flexible metal (foil-type) duct. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) duct
may be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-
rigid) ducting cannot be used AND where a 4” diameter can be maintained
throughout the entire length of the transition duct. Please see installation
instruction packed with your dryer for complete instructions when using flexible
metal (foil type) ducting.
EXHAUST LENGTH CALCULATION:
1. Determine the number of 90° turns needed for your installation. If you
exhaust to the side or bottom of dryer, add one turn.
2. The maximum length of 4" rigid (aluminum or galvanized) duct which can
be tolerated is shown in the table. A turn of 45° or less may be ignored. Two
45° turns within the duct length should be treated as a 90° elbow. A turn
over 45° should be treated as a 90° elbow.
Dryers mu st be exhausted to the outside.
CAUTION: For personal safety do not terminate exhaust into a chimney, under
any enclosed house floor (crawl space), or into an attic, since the accumulated
lint could create a fire hazard or moisture could cause damage. Never terminate
the exhaust into a common duct or plenum with a kitchen exhaust, since the
combination of lint and grease could create a fire hazard.
Exhaust ducts should be terminated in a dampered wall cap to prevent back
drafts, bird nesting, etc. The wall cap must also be located at least 12" above
the ground or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
