To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

to connecting the dryer.

outlet to the exhaust system.

3.   Use clamps to seal and secure all joints. Exhaust ducting must not be connected 

with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the duct.

NOTES: 

   Do not use plastic or metal foil ß exible ducting.  Excessive lint can build up inside 

the ductwork, restrict airß ow, and create a Þ re hazard.  Restricted air ß ow will 

increase drying time.

   The dryer must not be exhausted into a gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling or other 

concealed space of a building. The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. 
If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some Þ ne lint will be expelled into the
