Fire Hazard
Do Not use non-metal, flexible duct.
Do Not use metal duct smaller than
4 inches in diameter.
Do Not use exhaust hoods with magnetic latches.
Check that exhaust system is not longer than specified. Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
-Accumulate lint.
-Shorten the life of the product.
-Reduce performance and result in longer drying times and increased energy usage.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire.
Do Not exhaust the dryer into a chimney, furnace cold air duct, attic or crawl space, or any other duct used for venting.
Clean the exhaust system every year.
Do Not install flexible duct in walls, ceiling or floors.
Accumulated lint could cause a fire or moisture damage.
Exhausting your dryer indoors is Not recommended. The moisture and lint indoors may cause:
-Lint to gather inside and around the dryer and could cause a fire.
-Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet, etc.
-Housecleaning problems and possible health problems.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in fire damage, personal injury or health problems.
If using an existing exhaust system, clean lint from entire length of exhaust system. Make sure exhaust hood is not plugged wifh lint.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned yearly.
Replace any vinyl or metallized plastic foil exhaust duct with rigid metal or flexible metal duct.
Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do Not use screws to secure duct. exhaust air flow better d
Four-inch rigid metal pipe is preferred.
Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
Metal flexible duct should be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. DO NOT KINK
OR CRUSH THE DUCT. The metal flexible duct must be fully extended to allow adequate exhaust air to flow.
Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend duct gradually to avoid kinking. Remove excess flexible duct to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced air flow.
Panel C
The exhaust duct can ’ be routed up, down, left, right or straight out the back of the washer/dryer. Space requirements are provided on Panel G and on the rear panel of the washer/dryer.
Use the straightest path you can to avoid 90” turns. b
Maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct used, number of elbows and the type of exhaust hood. The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in the chart.

For exhaust configurations other than those listed in the chart, the back pressure MUST not exceed 0.2 inches water column at the back of the washer/dryer. The back pressure should be checked by a qualified technician.
For exhaust systems not covered by the exhaust length chart, see Service
Manual, Part No. 603197, available from your authorized parts distributor.
Service check: The back pressure in any exhaust system used must not exceed
0.2 inches of water column measured with an inclined manometer at the point that the exhaust duct connects to the dryer.
Exhausting the dryer outside is recommended. Recessed installation that is not exhausted outside must use
Exhaust Deflector Kit Part No. 694609, available from your authorized parts distributor. See “Recessed and closet installation instructions,” Panel G, for unobstructed air opening requirements,
If the washer/dryer is installed in a confined area such as a bedroom, bathroom or closet, it must be exhausted to the outside and provision must be made for enough air for ventilation. Check governing codes and ordinances. Also refer to the “Recessed and closet installation instructions” on
Panel G.
An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust duct to prevent exhausted air from returning into dryer. The outlet of the 35
12” mlnlmum hood must be at least 12 inches from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust.
Four-inch exhaust hood is preferred.
However, a 2-l/2-inch exhaust hood may be used. A 2-l/2-inch exhaust hood creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent installation, a stationary exhaust system is required.
Exhausting the dryer through the side of the washer/dryer requires m-l the use of Side Exhaust
Kit, Part No. 279823, available from your authorized parts distributor. Follow kit
