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. Install your dryer in a well- ventilated room where the temperature is always above 45°F (7°C). Also make sure that your dryer is leveled. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more information.

Venting

wWARNING

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. For paid installation, call the company that installed the vent for adjustment.

1.Do not use plastic vent or flexible metal foil vent. Use 4-inch heavy 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.

2.Use a 4-inch 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.
