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.
Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Exhaust your dryer to the outside. Moisture and lint indoors may cause:
•Lint to gather around the dryer where it can be fuel for a fire.
•Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet, etc.
•Housecleaning problems and health problems.
If the washer/dryer is installed in a confined area such as a bedroom, bathroom or closet, it must be exhausted to the outside and provision must be made for enough air for ventilation. Check governing codes and ordinances. Also refer to the “Recessed and closet installation instructions” on Panel G.
Dura SafeTM vent products are recommended and are available from your dealer. See Panel G.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
•Do Not use
•Do Not exhaust dryer into a chimney, furnace, cold air vent, attic or crawl space, or any other vent used for venting.
•Do Not install flexible vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.
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 vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced air flow.
An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust vent to prevent rodents and insects from entering the home.
Exhaust outlet hood must be at least 12 inches from the ground or any object that maybe in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes, etc.).
If using an existing exhaust system, clean lint from entire length of system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint.
