Dryer exhaust tips
WARNING: A plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.
•
Make sure your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air easily.
•
Use a 4" diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including at the dryer.
Never use lint-trapping screws.
•
Keep ducts as straight as possible.
•
Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer.
•
Be sure the vent flap opens and closes freely.
•
Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.
Don't let a poor exhaust system slow the drying process by:
•
Restricting your dryer with a poor exhaust system.
•
Using a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.
•
Unnecessarily using long ducts that have many elbows.
•
Allowing dented or clogged ducts and vent.
