Exhaust Ducting Length
Tim exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned
at least once a year with normal usage. Tile more the
dryer is used, tbe more often you should check 1he
exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, 1hey must
be equivalent to a 4" dampered wall cap in regard to
resistance to airflow, prevention of back drafts and
maintenance required to prevent clogging.
• DONOTassemble tbe duct workwitb thsteners that
extend into the duct. Timy will serve as collection
points for lint.
• Ductwork which runs through an unheated area or
is near an air conditioning duct should be insulated
to reduce condensation and lint build-up.
