INITIAL STEPS FOR INSTALLING YOUR DRYER

In addition to the following warnings, please refer
to manual section on Exhaust Requirements and
Maintenance. IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
fire, combustion, and gas accumulation, the dryer
must be vented to the outdoors. Please follow the
instructions (and all others in this manual) very
carefully.

• Do not use Plastic or thin foil duct.
• 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.

• Position the Dryer such that the exhaust duct run is

as short as possible.

Clean old ducts before installing this dryer
• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must

point away from the dryer

• Use as few elbow joints as possible.
• Use duct tape on all duct joints
• Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated

areas in order to reduce condensation and lint
build-up on pipe walls.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT FAILURE TO

EXHAUST THE DRYER CORRECTLY WILL
VOID THE DRYER’S WARRANTY.

WARNING!

• Use a heavy metal vent.
• Do not use plastic or thin foil duct.
• Failure to follow these instructions can

result in death or fire.

• Clean old ducts before installing this dryer
