Fire/Health Hazard Do Not use non-metal, flexible duct. Do Not use metal duct smaller than four Inches In diameter. Do Not use exhaust hoods with metal latches. Check that exhaust system Is not longer than speclfled. Exhaust system longer than speclfled will: - Accumulate Ilnt. - Shorten the Ilfe of the dryer. - Reduce the performance, resulting In longer drylng times and Increased energy usage. Failure to follow speclflcatlons may result In a rite. Do Not exhaust dryers Into a chimney, furnace cold alr duct, attlc or crawl space, or any other duct used for ventlng. Clean the exhaust system every other year. Do Not Install flexible duct In enclosed walls, celllngs or rloors. Accumulated lint could result In a tire or cause molsture damage. Exhaust dryers outslde to prevent exposure to substances In gas fuels and combustion which may be harmful to your health. rhe moisture and lint Indoors may cause: - FIREHAZARD from lint collected In dryer. - Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet, etc. - Housecleanlng problems and possible health problems.

Metal flexible duct must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in final position. DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE DUCT. The metal flexible duct must be completely open to allow adequate exhaust air to flow. Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend duct gradually to avoid kinking. Remove excess flexible duct to avoid sagging and kinking that may cause reduced airflow.
The external exhaust d
t can be routed up, down, left, riT ht or straight out the back of the dryer. Product dimensions and recessed area requirements are given on Page 8.
Side or bottom exhaust: The maximum length of the exhaust system if dryer is exhausted out the side or bottom is 16 feet with two external elbows and hood.
Rear exhaust: The maximum length of the exhaust system depends on the type of duct, the number of elbows and the type of exhaust hood. The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in the chart.
Page 5
If dryer Is Installed In a confined area such as a bedroom, bathroom or closet, it must be exhausted to the outside and provision must be made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances. Also refer to the “Recessed area and closet installation instructions, - Page 8.) An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust duct to prevent exhausted air from returning into the dryer. The outlet hood must be at least 12 inches from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust.
Four-Inch outlet hood Is preferred. However, a 2.l/2-inch outlet exhaust hood may be used. (A 2-l/2-inch outlet creates greater back pressure than other hoods.) A maln exhaust duct can be used for exhausting a group of dryers. Main exhaust duct should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be used in the main exhaust duct if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the dryers are located should have make-up air equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.
Product Damage Keep alr openlngs free of drycleaning fluld rumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can damage dryers and loads being dried. A clean-out cover should be located on the main exhaust duct for periodically cleaning the exhaust system, An exhaust hood should cap the outside end of the main duct to prevent exhausted air from returning to the dryers. If an exhaust hood cannot be used, the outside end of the main duct should have a sweep elbow directed downward. If the main duct travels vertically through the roof rather than through the wall, install 180” sweep elbow on the end of duct at least 2 feet above the highest part of the building. The opening wall or roof shall have a diameter l/2 inch larger than the exhaust duct diameter. The exhaust duct should be centered in the opening.
Exhaust duct connection Electrlcal Shock Hazard Dlxonnect both power supply cords before maklng these changes. Failure to do so may result In electrlcal shock or personal Injury. I Determine which direction you need to attach the exhaust ducts to the dryer. Dryer can be exhausted straight out the back or from the right or left side or through bottom. Next, determine the length of exhaust duct you will need to connect the dryer to exhaust hoods or the main exhaust.

Each exhaust duct should enter the main duct at an angle pointing in the direction of the airflow. Ducts entering from the opposlte side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other ducts. The maxlmum angle of each duct entering the main duct should be no more than 30”.
