WARNING

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.

Rigid metal vent

For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are recommended.

Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent

Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for cleaning.

Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final location.

Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.

Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this washer/dryer

MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling or a concealed space of a building.

If using an existing vent system

Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint.

Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid or flexible heavy metal vent.

Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if necessary to achieve the best drying performance.

If this is a new vent system

45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
