Installation guide

USE A MIN/MUM OF 4 INCH DIAMETER RIGID ALUM!NqJM OR RIGID GAL-
VANIZED STEEL DUCT. Do not use smaller duct. Ducts larger than 4 inches in
diameter can result in increased lint accumulation. Lint accumulation should be cleaned
regularly. If flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. do
not use flexibIe duct with a thin foiI wall. Serious blockage can result if flexible metal duct
is bent too sharp. Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings or other concealed
places.

Keep exhaust duct as straight and short as possible. Exhaust systems longer than recom-
mended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and may collect lint. Secure
joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.
DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE OR A
CONCEALED PLACE OF A BUILDING, GAS VENT, ANY OTHER COMMON
DUCT OR CtIIMNEY. THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT
EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.
The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing out damper to prevent
backdrafts and entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper. The
hood should have a least 12 inches of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the
ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down. Never install a screen
over the exhaust outlet.
Wqaen possible, do not exhaust the dryer directly over a window welt in order to avoid tint
build-up. Do not exhaust under a house or porch.
