YER
EXHAUSTING
The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed
space of a building.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the
room.
Refer to the “Ducting requirements” section on page 11 for the maximum duct length and
number of bends.
• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that extend into the
duct and catch lint.
• The exhaust duct should be 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter.
• The total length of fl exible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m (7.8 ft.).
In the United States:
• Use only those foil-type fl exible ducts, if any, specifi cally identifi ed for use with the appliance
by the manufacturer and that comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Ducts,
Subject 2158A, shall be used.
In Canada:
• Use only those foil-type fl exible ducts, if any, specifi cally identifi ed for use with the appliance
by the manufacturer.
Outside the U.S. and Canada:
• Refer to the local codes.
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fi re when installed in an
alcove or closet.
NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT.
If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal.
Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-fl ammable to ensure containment of the exhaust
air, heat, and lint.
