IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes
and ordinances.
Improper venting can cause moisture
and lint to collect indoors, which may
result in:
• Moisture damage to woodwork,
furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpets, etc.
• Housecleaning problems and health
problems.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic
or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to
prevent crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended
and supported when the dryer is in its final
position. Remove excess flexible metal
vent to avoid sagging and kinking that can
result in reduced airflow and poor
performance.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to
prevent rodents and insects from entering
the home.
Exhaust hood must be at least 30.5 cm (12
in.) from the ground or any object that is in
the path of the exhaust (such as flowers,
rocks or bushes, etc.).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint
from the entire length of the system and
make sure exhaust hood is not plugged
with lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil
vent with rigid metal or flexible metal vent.
