Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter (minimum) rigid

or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which

has a swing-out damper(s) that open when the dryer

is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers

automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance

of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet,

maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance

between the vent hood and the ground or any other

obstruction.

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive

drying times and fire hazards.

The following are specific requirements for proper

and safe operation of your dryer,

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic or

metal foil venting materials. Flexibleventing materials

are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint.

These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and

increase the r!sk of fire: ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................

:If your present system is made up of plastic duct or

metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal

duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior

to installing dryer duct.

Incorrect

Exhaust system requirements, continued

FIRE HAZARD

A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do not

exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic,

a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A

clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is

not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled

into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any

area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.

The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors.

Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and

remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor

exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.

FIRE HAZARD

Do not allow combustible materials (for example:

clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in

contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT

be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling,

or any concealed space of a building which can

ii accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system,

or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that

extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust

system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on

the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and

ii creating a fire hazard as well as increasing drying

ii times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the

duct outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil duct

tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed

downstream with the flow of air.

FIRE HAZARD

Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows

allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can cause

an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging

the system could create a fire hazard, as well as

Install male fittings in correct direction"

CORRECT iNCORRECT

In installations where the exhaust system is not described

in the charts, the following method must be used to

determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:

:[ Connect an inclined or digital manometer between

the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the

dryer.

2 Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff

(cool down) and start the dryer.

3 Read the measurement on the manometer.

4 The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher

than 0.75 inches of water column. If the

system back pressure is less than 0.75 inches of

water column, the system is acceptable. If the

manometer reading is higher than .075 inches of

water column, the system is too restrictive and the

installation is unacceptable.

Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is

acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could

affect the performance of the dryer:

o Only rigid metal duct work should be used.

Venting vertically through a roof may expose the

exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase

in vent restriction.

Running the exhaust system through an

uninsulated area may cause condensation and

faster accumulation of lint.

Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will

cause an increase in vent restriction.

The exhaust system should be inspected and

cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with

normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the

more often you should check the exhaust system

and vent hood for proper operation.

Exhaust direction

Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing

a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly to exhaust

outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through

your local parts distributor or hardware store.

See also Clearance Requirements on the next page.

Use of 90° quick-turn

elbow is required to meet

Manufactured or mobile home installation

1 Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured

Home Construction & Safety Standard, Title 24

CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly the Federal Standard

for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24,

HUD Part 280) or Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.

2 Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not

beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting

that will not support combustion. Metal ducting

must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no

obstructions. Rigid metal duct is preferred.

3 If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area

beneath the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust

system MUST terminate outside the enclosure with

the termination securely fastened to the mobile

home structure.

4 Refer to previous sections in this guide for other

important exhaust venting system requirements.

5 When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a

provision must be made for outside make up air.

This provision is to be not less than twice the area

of the dryer exhaust outlet.

6 Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer

mounted on pedestal to the floor with approved

Mobile Home Installation Kit - P/N 137067200.
