Frequently asked questions  
What if the "Filter/Vent" indicator lights after cleaning the exhaust system?  
Possible fault  
Fix  
The dryer is not operating efficiently  
because the duct hose is too long.  
Check the exhaust length and diameter

Installation tips  
Adapter  
A ring adapter is supplied with the  
machine, and is compatible with all  
venting systems. The adapter helps  
prevent heat from escaping, and heats  
the air in the drum faster.  
An airflow gap of 3/8" (10 mm) must  
be provided between the machine  
and the floor. This airflow gap must  
not be blocked by a toekick or thick  
piled carpets.  
Do not install the dryer next to a  
refrigerator. The warm air exhausting  
from the dryer can affect the  
thermostat of the refrigerator,  
causing it to run continuously.  
^ The adapter, 1, is inserted into the  
connector, 2.  
Using the adapter with a maximum duct  
length of 33 ft (10 m) will result in  
shorter drying times and energy  
savings.

Installation  
Exhaust connection with a  
flexible exhaust hose or rigid  
pipe  
Window connection  
Using the connector supplied, an  
exhaust hose (4" [100 mm]  
diameter) can be installed.  
Necessary materials:  
– a wall or window duct  
– an exhaust hose made of approved  
non-flammable material  
1 Window connection (installed in a  
plexiglass pane)  
2 Connector for the flexible exhaust hose  
Wall connection with rigid pipe  
^ If the duct length is more than 33 ft  
(10 m), remove the ring adapter, 1,  
from the connector, 2. If the duct  
length is less than 33 ft (10 m), leave  
the ring adapter in to improve time  
and energy efficiency.  
^ Install the connector, 2, with the  
exhaust hose or pipe, 3, to the dryer.

How to calculate the effective  
duct length  
Tips about the ductwork  
– Check with your local building code  
to determine the maximum allowable  
duct length.  
The overall duct length will determine  
the duct diameter.  
– Use flexible metal pipe or rigid metal  
pipe for venting. Non-metallic flexible  
hose should not be used, it is a  
potential fire hazard.  
^ Measure the actual duct length  
needed to go from the dryer’s  
exhaust connection to the vent outlet:  
1. Establish the number of elbows or  
bends necessary, noting the type of  
bend, angle and radius involved  
(see Table).  
– For best drying results avoid extra  
long ducting with too many bends,  
angles or tight corners.  
– The shorter the exhaust ductwork,  
the more efficient the dryer will be.  
Expelled air is slowed down in the  
ducts due to friction against the inner  
walls. The shorter and smoother the  
inner walls are, the less friction will  
be created.  
2. Add the additional duct length (as  
derived by using the values  
specified in the table) and the actual  
duct length to get the effective  
length.  
Note:  
– An elbow or bend creates more  
friction than a straight duct. An  
additional duct length factor must be  
added for each elbow or bend (see  
Table). This factor expresses the  
resistance of the bend in terms of a  
straight length of duct.  
Maximum effective duct lengths:  
4" (100 mm) diameter  
5" (125 mm) diameter  
6" (150 mm) diameter  
66 ft (20 m)  
132 ft (40 m)  
328 ft (100 m)  
Using the ring adapter up to an  
effective duct length of 33 ft (10 m) and  
a standard duct diameter of 4"  
(100 mm) will provide optimal drying  
times and energy consumption.  
The additional length factor is then  
added to the existing duct to give the  
effective length.  
A larger duct diameter helps reduce  
friction. Therefore the duct diameter  
and length should be increased  
simultaneously.  
Do not use the ring adapter if the  
effective duct length is more than 33 ft  
(10 m).  
Effective duct lengths over 66 ft (20 m)  
require a larger duct diameter.  
Longer ducts may lead to slight  
decreases in dryer efficiency if the  
necessary duct diameter is not  
employed.

The total duct length is less than 33 feet (10 m), so a duct diameter of 4" (100 mm)  
with adapter is sufficient.
