Owner Manual

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use plastic or thin
foil ducting to exhaust the dryer.
W354
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, the exhaust duct and
weather hood MUST be fabricated of a material that
will not support combustion. Rigid or flexible metal
pipe is recommended for a clothes dryer.
W048
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire due to increased static
pressure, we do not recommend installation of in-
line secondary lint filters or lint collectors. If secon-
dary systems are mandated, frequently clean the
system to assure safe operation.
W749
IMPORTANT: Installing in-line filters or lint collectors
will cause increased static pressure. Failure to main-
tain the secondary lint system will decrease dryer effi-
ciency and will void machine warranty.

• DO NOT use plastic, thin foil or type B ducting. Rigid metal
duct is recommended.
• Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.
• Be certain old exhaust ducts are cleaned before installing your
new dryer.
• Use 102 mm [4 inch] diameter rigid or flexible metal duct.
• The male end of each section of duct must point away from
the dryer.
• Use as few elbows as possible.
• Use of duct tape or pop-rivets on all seams and joints is rec-
ommended, if allowed by local codes. DO NOT use sheet
metal screws or fasteners on exhaust pipe joints which extend
into the duct and catch lint.
• Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must be insulated
to help reduce condensation and lint build-up on pipe walls.
• Install backdraft dampers in multi-dryer installations.
• In mobile home installations, dryer exhaust duct must be se-
cured to mobile home structure.
• Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under mobile
home.
• Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other duct, vent, or
chimney.
• Dryer exhausts 220 cfm per unit (measured at back of dryer).
• DO NOT install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a
wall or ceiling.
• Static pressure in exhaust duct should not be greater than 1.5
cm water column [0.6 inches water column], measured with
manometer placed on exhaust duct 610 mm [2 feet] from dry-
er (check with dryer running and no load). In multi-dryer in-
stallations, all dryers connected to the main collector duct
should be operating when pressure is checked.
• Exhausting dryer in hard-to-reach locations can be done by
installing 521P3 Flexible Metal Vent Kit (available as option-
al equipment at extra cost).
• Sufficient make-up air must be supplied to replace the air ex-
hausted by the dryer. The free area of any opening for outside
air must be at least 25806 mm

[40 in.

] per unit.
• Energy efficient buildings with low air infiltration rates
should be equipped with an air exchanger that can accommo-
date on demand make-up air needs in the laundry room. These
devices can be obtained through your building contractor or
building material suppliers.
• Do not draw make-up air from a room containing a gas fired
water heater, a dry cleaner or a hair salon.
• Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.
• A dryer will dissipate 681,392 J/m

] of surface
area exposed to the conditioned air.
NOTE: Venting materials are not supplied with the dry-
er (obtain locally).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the bottom of
the dryer’s front panel with laundry, rugs, etc. Blockage
will decrease airflow through the dryer, thus reducing
the efficiency of the dryer.
Exhaust Direction
The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the back, left,
right or bottom of the dryer. EXCEPTION: Gas dryers cannot be
vented out the left side because of the burner housing.
Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust.
