Checking Your Vent
Your washer/dryer must be properly installed and vented for the dryer to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air. See the Installation Instructions for more information.
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 fire.
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.
1.Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in. (10.2 cm) 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 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood.
3.Use the straightest path possible when routing the vent.
4.Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent.
5.Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at least every 2 years, or when installing your washer/dryer in a new location. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your washer/dryer for final product check.
