Dryer Exhaust Requirements
Exhaust System Materials
Exhaust system materials are not supplied with the
unit.
Exhaust duct must be 102 mm (4 inches) in diameter
having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
recommended. Non-combustible flexible metal duct is
acceptable. Do not use plastic or thin foil ducting,
because it contributes to poor drying performance and
collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.
Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as
a wall or ceiling.
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 duct joints with duct tape or
pop-rivets.
NOTE: Kits described above are optional exhaust
system materials available at extra cost.
