DIRECT EXHAUST

An exhaust hood positioned to line up with the dryer exhaust pipe can be installed directly

through an outside wall. This would be the shortest and most direct exhaust method.

To exhaust up, route standard 4" diameter ducting up the recess and in the cabinet back using

the furnished retaining strap an screws to get nearly flush to wall installation. To exhaust to

the side or down, install the furnished 4" long duct with four "S" clips to the inner dryer

exhaust, then use standard 4" ducting. This will position the dryer about 4 1/2" away from

the wall. Flush to wall side exhausting may be done by going above the dryer before going

sideways.

When exhausting down, wallboard can be removed from the wall to get the dryer closer to

the wall by placing the exhaust pipe between the studs. Check local codes for required

exhaust clearances.

Install ductwork from the dryer to exhaust hood. All joints must be made so exhaust end of

one pipe is inside the intake end of the next pipe. On flexible metal ductwork, all joints

should be secured with a 304630 clamp. DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling

rigid ducting. Joints should taped.

Ill

FLEXIBLE DUCTWORK LIMITATIONS

Flexible metal ductwork should not exceed 34' of straight 4" ducting. The exhaust hood is

equivalent to 8' of duct and each 90 degree bend is equivalent to 8'. As an example if an

exhaust hood is used and two 90 degree bends, the maximum straight run would be 10'.

NOTE: If the radius of a bend with 4" duct is 12" or greater, the bend can be considered a

straight run. No more than three 90 degree bends should be used in any run with an exhaust

hood.

If flexible metal exhaust ducting is used, cut a short piece (about 3") off the male end of a 4"

diameter metal duct pipe. The short extension can be secured to the dryer exhaust with the

clips and the flexible metal duct can be clamped to the short extension.
