Venting Requirements
VENTING
WARNING: Risk of Fire. Do not install a booster fan in the
exhaust duct.
NOTE: The booster fan warning does not apply to clothes
dryers intended to be installed in a multiple clothes dryer system,
with an engineered exhaust duct system that is installed per the
clothes dryer manufacturer's guidelines.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space
of a building. Only rigid or flexible metal vent shall be used for
exhausting.
4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent
■
Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps may
be used.
■
Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent:
■
Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)
■
Must be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location.
■
Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result
in reduced airow and poor performance.
■
Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.
■
The total length should not exceed 7¾ ft (2.4 m).
■
The length of exible metal vent used must be included in
the overall vent system design as shown in the “Vent System
Charts.”
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged
with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal
or exible metal vents. Review “Vent System Charts” and, if
necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying
performance.
