• Install backdraft dampers in multi-dryer installations.
• In mobile home installations, dryer exhaust duct must be se-
cured to mobile home structure.
• Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under mobile
home.
• Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other duct, vent, or
chimney.
• Dryer exhausts 5.09 cmm (180 cfm) per unit (measured at
back of dryer).
• DO NOT install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a
wall or ceiling.
• Static pressure in exhaust duct should not be greater than 10
mm water column [0.4 inches water column], measured with
manometer placed on exhaust duct 610 mm [two feet] from
dryer (check with dryer running and no load). In multi-dryer
installations, all dryers connected to the main collector duct
should be operating when pressure is checked.
• Sufficient make-up air must be supplied to replace the air ex-
hausted by the dryer. The free area of any opening for outside
air must be at least 1016 mm
2
[40 in.
2
] per unit.
• Energy efficient buildings with low air infiltration rates
should be equipped with an air exchanger that can accommo-
date on demand make-up air needs in the laundry room. These
devices can be obtained through your building contractor or
building material suppliers.
• Do not draw make-up air from a room containing a gas fired
water heater, a dry cleaner or a hair salon.
• Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.
NOTE: Venting materials are not supplied with the dry-
er (obtain locally).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the bottom
of the dryer’s front panel with laundry, rugs, etc. Block-
age will decrease airflow through the dryer, thus reduc-
ing the efficiency of the dryer.
Exhaust Direction
The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the back, left,
right or bottom of the dryer. EXCEPTION: Gas dryers cannot be
vented out the left side because of the burner housing.
Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the bottom
of the dryer’s front panel with laundry, rugs, etc. Block-
age will decrease airflow through the dryer, thus reduc-
ing the efficiency of the dryer.
Exhaust System
For best drying results, recommended maximum length of ex-
haust system is shown in
.
To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation, outer end of
exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers (ob-
tain locally).
NOTE: Weather hood should be installed at least 305
mm [12 inches] above the ground. Larger clearances
may be necessary for installations where heavy snow-
fall can occur.
