EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD OR WALL CAP
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of
birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to the ex-
haust air flow and should require little or no maintenance to
prevent clogging.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This
could cause lint build up.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground
level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed
down.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of
straight duct, including distance between last turn and ex-
haust hood.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90º
• One turn of 45º or less may be ignored.
• Two 45º turns should be treated as one 90º turn.
• Each turn over 45º should be treated as one 90º turn.
SEALING OF JOINTS
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of
each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend
into the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.
• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrap-
ping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
• Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors ½
inch per foot.
INSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air
conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and
lint build-up.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL IN-
4” dia.
JURY:
• This appliance must be exhausted to the outdoors.
2-1/2”
• Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust duct.
• Use only 4" rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal (semi-
rigid or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer to the home ex-
haust duct. It must be installed in accordance with the in-
structions found in the section "Connecting The Dryer To
House Vent" on this Use & Care Guide.
• Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall, a ceiling,
gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed floor, or in
any other concealed space of a building. The accumulated
lint could create a potential fire hazard.
• Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with a
kitchen exhaust system. A combination of grease and lint
creates a potential fire hazard.
• Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust length
table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint, creating a poten-
tial fire hazard.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This will
cause lint to accumulate, creating a potential fire hazard.
• Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that extend
into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate lint, creating
a potential fire hazard.
• Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.
• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the ex-
haust system, especially at turns and joints. Exhaust system
shall be inspected and cleaned at least once a year.
