WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

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

•Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

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

•Use clamps to seal all joints. Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct tape.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect indoors, which may result in:

[] Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpets, etc.

[] Housecleaning problems and health problems.

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow.

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and insects from entering the home.

Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes, etc.).

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 metal or flexible metal vent.

Typical installations vent the dryer from the rear of the dryer.

A. Exhaust hood

B. Flexible metal vent or rigid metal vent
