Dryer Exhaust Requirements
Exhaust System Materials
Exhaust duct must be 10.2 cm (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 joints with duct tape. Use as
few elbows as possible.
Make-Up Air Requirements
For proper operation it is important that you locate the
dryer in an area that has an ample amount of make-up
air to replace the amount exhausted by the dryer.
Energy efficient homes with low air infiltration rates
should be equipped with an air exchanger that can
accommodate on demand make-up air needs in the
home. These devices can be obtained through your
building contractor or building material suppliers.
Figure 11
Exhaust Direction
The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the
back, left, right or bottom of the dryer.
Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust;
no kits required.
Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom can be
accomplished by installing a DK1 Sales Accessory
(Directional Exhaust Kit 528P3) available as optional
equipment at extra cost.

space under a building or concealed space
of a building.
