LG 80002 Owner's Manual

Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer.  

Important Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of combustible gases, DO

NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space,
chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building.  To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer with
plastic or thin foil ducting.

1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryer and

you should obtain the necessary venting materials
locally.  For example, the outer end of exhaust pipe
must have a weather hood with hinged dampers to
prevent back-draft when the dryer is not in use.

2. The exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in

diameter with no obstructions.  The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to
clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.

3. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for

use as transition ducting between the dryer and and the
wall. In special installations when it is impossible to
make a connection with the above  recommendations,
then a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be
used between the dryer and wall connection only. The
use of this ducting will affect dry time.

4. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints

or other fastening means which extend into the duct that
could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust
system. Secure all joints with duct tape.

5. To maximize operating results, please observe the duct

length limitations noted in the chart above.
