INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Exhausting requirements
WARNING:
• Do not exhaust your dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl
space, or a concealed space in a building.
• Your dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when
installed in an alcove or closet.
WARNING:
NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT
• If your existing duct work is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with
metal before installing this dryer.
• Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment
of the exhaust air heat and lint.
• See "Duct requirements" on page 16 for the maximum duct length and
number of elbows.
• All dryers must be exhausted outside.
• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fasteners that extend into the
duct or that catch lint.
• The exhaust duct should be 4 in. (10.2 cm) in diameter.
• The total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7.8 ft. (2.4 m).
