Exhaust system requirements, continued
WARNING
A clothes dryer must be exhausted
outdoors. DO NOT exhaust dryer into
a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a
crawl space or any concealed space of
a building. A clothes dryer produces
combustible lint. If the dryer is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will
be expelled into the laundry area. An
accumulation of lint in any area of the
home can create a health and fire hazard.
The dryer must be connected to an
exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the
outdoor exhaust opening and remove any
accumulation of lint around the outdoor ex-
haust opening and in the surrounding area.
WARNING
• DO NOT allow combustible materi-
als (for example: clothing, draperies/
curtains, paper) to come in contact
with exhaust system. The dryer MUST
NOT be exhausted into a chimney,
a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed
space of a building which can accu-
mulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
• DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of
the vent system, or use any screws,
rivets or other fasteners that extend
into the duct to assemble the exhaust
system. No screen, grate, or guard
of any mesh
size is allowed
to cover the
exhaust
opening. Lint
can become
caught in the screen, grate,
guard, or on the screws or
rivets, clogging the duct work and
creating a fire hazard as well as
increasing drying times. Use an
approved vent hood to terminate the
duct outdoors, and seal all joints with
metal foil tape. All male duct pipe fit-
tings MUST be installed downstream
with the flow of air.
