Frigidaire 137134900B important safety instructions Exhaust system requirements, Fire Hazard

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Exhaust system requirements

Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.

The following are specific requirements for proper and safe operation of your dryer.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic or metal foil venting materials. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
