Exhaust system requirements

Use only 4 in. (102 mm) diameter (minimum) rigid or semi rigid

metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper

or dampers that open when the dryer is in operation. When the

dryer stops, the damper or 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.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

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

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. No screen,

grate, or guard of any mesh size is allowed

to cover the exhaust opening. Lint can

become caught in the screen, grate, guard,

or on the screws or rivets, clogging the

duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as increasing

drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct

outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil tape. All male duct

pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow of air.
