EXHAUSTING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
•
The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an
attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a building.

The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire
when installed in alcove or closet.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and
moisture from being blown into the room.

If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it
with metal before installation this appliance
Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure
containment of the exhaust air heat, and lint.
