CONNECT DRYER TO EXHAUST SYSTEM Secure all joints with clamps or duct tape. DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fastening means which extend into the duct to attach exhaust pipe joints. They could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as possible. Be sure old ducts are clean before installing your new dryer. To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation, outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers (obtain locally). Weather hood should be installed at least 12" (30.5 cm) above the ground. Higher clearances may be necessary in areas where heavy snowfall can occur. No extra system length consideration is necessary when exhausting through the roof. Use MAXIMUM EXHAUST LENGTH table to calculate system length. Use a roof cap that provides air flow equal to weather hood. Exhaust Directions Dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the back, left, right or bottom of the dryer. Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust, No kits required. To exhaust dryer through sides or bottom, install a DK1 Sales Accessory (Directional Exhaust Kit 528P3). Available as optional equipment at extra cost. ( Exhaust System Materials Use Exhaust duct must be tour inches (10.2 cm) in diameter without obstructions. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Non-combustible semi-rigid flexible metal duct is acceptable. _ Rigid Metal Semirigid Metal DO NOT use plastic pipe, foil pipe, or flexible plastic pipe, because it tt-Do Not Use contributes to poor drying performance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard. To identify flexible foil or plastic duct, pinch the coils of the duct between your fingers. If the coils can be brought together, do not use the duct. k.

Important Safety Information About Ground Wires In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. Standard accepted color coding for ground wires is green or green with a yellow stripe. Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors. WARNING ] To reduce the risk of fire, the dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors. DO NOT exhaust dryer air into a window well, gas vent, chimney or enclos...
