A

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK

OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:

® This clothes diyer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
® Use only 4” rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust

duct.

® Use only 4” rigid metal or ULdisted flexible metal

(semi-rigid or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer to the

home exhaust duct. It must be installed in accordance

with the instructions found in “Connecting The Dry'er

To House Vent” on page 6 of this manual.

® Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall, a

ceiling, gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed
floor, or in any other concealed space of a building.
The accumulated lint could create a fire hazard.

® Never temiinate the exhaust into a common duct with

a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of grease and
lint creates a potential fire hazard.

® Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust

length table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint,
creating a potential fire hazard.

® Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This

will cause lint to accumulate, creating a potential fire

hazard.

® Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that

extend into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate
lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

® Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.
® Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the

exhaust system, especially at turns and joints. Exhaust
system shall be inspected and cleaned at least once a year.
