If at all possible, USE A MINIMUM OF 4 INCH DIAMETER RIGID ALUMINUM OR

RIGID GALVANIZED STEEL DUCT. Do not use smaller duct. If flexible metal must be

used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use flexible duct with a thin foil wall.

Serious blockage can result if flexible metal duct is bent too sharp. Never install any type of "

Keep exhaust duct as straight and short as possible. Exhaust systems longer than recom-

mended can extend drying times, affect machine operation and may collect lint.

DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE OR A

CONCEALED SPACE OF A BUILDING, GAS VENT, ANY OTHER COMMON

DUCT OR CHIMNEY. THIS COULD CRATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT

EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.

The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing out damper to prevent back-

drafts and entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper. The hood

should have at least 12 inches of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or

other obstruction. The hood opening should point down. Never install a screen over the

exhaust outlet.

When possible, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well in order to avoid lint

build-up. Do not exhaust under a house or porch.

If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area. the duct should be insulated and

slope slightly down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint build-up.

If an existing exhaust system is to be used with you new dryer you must be sure the exhaust
