Make-Up Air Requirements
It is important that the laundry room has adequate
make-up air for the dryer(s). A dryer exhausts 220 cfm
(measured at back of the dryer) and sufficient make-up
air must be supplied to replace the air exhaust by the
dryer.
Make-Up Air Dos and Don’ts
Do
● Supply adequate air for ventilating air, drying air
and gas dryer combustion air.
NOTE: Each dryer pocket must have 40 square
inches (260 cm
2
) of unobstructed flow of make-up
air for proper operation.
● Energy efficient buildings with low air
infiltration rates should be equipped with an air
exchanger that can accommodate on demand
make-up air needs in the laundry room. These
devices can be obtained through your building
contractor or building material suppliers.
Don’t
● Draw make-up air from a room containing a gas
fired water heater.
● Draw make-up air from a room containing a dry
cleaner or a hair salon.
Exhaust Direction
The dryer unit can be exhausted to the outdoors
through the back, left, right or bottom of the dryer unit.
EXCEPTION: Gas dryers cannot be vented out the
left side because of the burner housing.
Dryer unit is shipped from factory ready for rear
exhaust; no kits required.
Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom (lower
dryer only) can be accomplished by installing a
Directional Exhaust Kit 528P3 available as optional
equipment at extra cost.
