Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently dry
laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve
your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good
air ow.
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 re.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the
warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who
installed the dryer.
Maintain Good Air ow by:
Cleaning your lint screen before each load. ■
Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) ■
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
Use the shortest length of vent possible. ■
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each ■
bend and curve reduces air ow.
Good Better
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood. ■
Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least ■
every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow
the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for nal
product check.
Clear away items from the front the dryer. ■
Check Your Vent System for Good Air Flow
