For the best drying performance, the dryer needs to be properly vented.. The dryer will use more energy and run longer if it is not vented to the below specifications. Carefully follow the details on Exhausting in the Installation Instructions.
nUse only rigid metal 4″ diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and use only UL approved transition ducting between the dryer and the home duct..
nDo not use plastic or other combustible ductwork..
nUse the shortest length possible..
nDo not crush, kink or collapse the duct..
nAvoid resting the duct on sharp objects..
nVenting must conform to local building codes.
nDo not remove the vent protector from the back of the dryer (on some models)..
nFlip the protector down to its lowest position and connect the exhaust duct to the dryer.. The lowered protector will prevent the duct from getting crushed (on some models)..
