Exhaust/Ducting:
. Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire or death.
. The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of
the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine
lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the
laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can
create a health and fire hazard.
. Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4-inch diameter
ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the
outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork can
cause a fire. Punctured ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or
becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
. Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should
obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should
have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is
not in use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
. The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with
no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as
possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing
your new dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
fire or death.
. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for use
between the dryer and the wall, In special installations
when it is impossible to make a connection with the above
recommendations, a UUlisted flexible metal transition duct
may be used between the dryer and wall connection only.
The use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire or death.
. DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which
extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the
efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.
For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
