Checking Your Vent

Your washer/dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency. Install your washer/dryer in a well-ventilated room where the temperature is always above 45°F (7°C). Also make sure that your washer/dryer is leveled. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more information.

wWARNING

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 fire.

Venting

If the washer/dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be covered under the warranty.

NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or self- installed. For paid installation, call the company that installed the vent for adjustment.

1.Do not use plastic vent or flexible metal foil vent. Use four-inch heavy metal or flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush flexible metal vent. It must be completely extended to allow adequate exhaust air to flow. Check vent after installation. Refer to your Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of vent.

2.Use a 4" exhaust hood. Smaller hoods increase drying times.
