•   Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.

•   Do not use a smaller duct.

•   Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased lint accumulation. 

 

Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.

•   If a fl exible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a fl exible 

 

duct with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the fl exible metal duct is bent too sharply.

•   Never install any type of fl exible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.

•   Keep exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.

•   Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

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

 

 

BUILDING, GAS VENT, OR ANY OTHER COMMON DUCT OR CHIMNEY. 

 

THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.

•   Plastic fl exible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airfl ow, extend drying times, and affect dryer  

 

 

 operation.

•   Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and may collect lint.

•   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 (30.5 cm) 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.

•  To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. 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 buildup.

•   Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord  

 

 

 before 

cleaning.

•   Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
