STEP 3 - CONNECT TO AN EXHAUST SYSTEM

To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

to connecting the dryer.
2. Use 4" (102 mm) rigid or fl exible metal ducting to connect the dryer exhaust
outlet to the exhaust system.
3. Use clamps to seal and secure all joints. Exhaust ducting must not be connected
with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the duct.

Do not use plastic or metal foil fl exible ducting. Excessive lint can build up inside
the ductwork, restrict airfl ow, and create a fi re hazard. Restricted airfl ow will
increase drying time.

wall, ceiling or other concealed space of a building. The dryer must be exhausted
to the outdoors. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fi ne lint will be
expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home
