Checking Your Vent

4.Use the straightest path possible when routing the exhaust vent. Use

the fewest number of elbows and turns. Allow room when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

5.Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use screws to secure vent. Lint may catch on screws.

6.Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new location.

•Disconnect vent from the dryer and clean one section at a time until you reach the exhaust hood.

•Use the hose attach- ment on your vacuum,

or a pole or wire with a feather duster or rag attached, to clean out lint.

•Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent moves freely.

•When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final product check.
