CHECKING

YOUR VENT

Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more information.

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be covered under the warranty.

NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or self- installed.

1.Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in. (10.2 cm) metal or flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush flexible metal vent. It must be completely extended to allow adequate exhaust air to flow. Check vent after installation. Refer to your Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of vent.

4" (10.2 cm)

2.Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood. Smaller hoods increase drying times.

3.The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left, right, or straight out the back of the dryer. Space requirements are listed in your Installation Instructions.

4.Use the straightest path possible when routing the exhaust vent. Use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Allow room when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

5.Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent.

6.Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new location.

Disconnect vent from the dryer and clean one section at a time until you reach the exhaust hood.

To clean out lint, use the hose attachment on your vacuum, or a pole or wire with a feather duster or rag attached.

Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent moves freely.

When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final product check.
