Part 3 INITIAL STEPS FOR INSTALLING YOUR DRYER
In addition to the following warnings, please refer
to manual section on Exhaust Requirements and
Maintenance. Warning: The dryer must be vented
to the outdoors. Please follow the instructions (and
all others in this manual) very carefully. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
• 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.
• Clean old ducts before installing this dryer.
• Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death or fire.
