10 psi (0.69 bars) and 120 psi (8.27 bars). Pressure

difference between hot and cold cannot be more than 10

psi. Your water department can advise you of your water

pressure.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Exhaust system requirements

Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter 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.

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.

The following are speciﬁc requirements for proper and safe opera-

tion of your dryer.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and

ﬁre hazards.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install a clothes dryer with ﬂexible plastic or metal foil venting

materials. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily

crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airﬂow

and increase the risk of ﬁre.

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.

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. Lint can become caught in the screen, 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 duct

tape. All male duct pipe ﬁttings MUST be installed

downstream with the ﬂow of air.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

• Do not install ﬂexible plastic or ﬂexible foil venting

material.

• If installing semi-rigid venting, do not exceed 8 ft.

(2.4 m) duct length.

WARNING

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

increase drying times.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Exhaust direction

The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with

rear ﬂush installation:

1. Straight back

2. Down (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter

[102 mm] rigid duct and 1 elbow down)

3. Left (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter [102

mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow left)

4. Right (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter

[102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow

right)

Exhaust system requirements, continued

In installations where the exhaust system is not described

in previous pages, the following method must be used to

determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:

1Connect an inclined or digital manometer between

the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the

dryer.

2Set the dryer timer and temperature to air ﬂuff and

start the dryer.

3Read the measurement on the manometer.

4The 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 0.75 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:

• 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.

Install male ﬁttings in correct direction:

CORRECT INCORRECT

To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (28 cm) length of standard

4 inch (102 mm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The

unit will be positioned about 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) away

from the wall (ﬂush to wall exhausting may be done by

going below the dryer then sideways).

An exhaust hood positioned to line up with the dryer

exhaust can be installed directly through the outside wall.

To exhaust to the side or down, add an 8 inch (20.3 cm)

length of standard 4 inch (102 mm) diameter duct and a

90° elbow.
