WARNING!
!
Note
Vent end will face to the outside home and
improper taping and unstable installation of vent
will cause undesirable drying performance.
In addition to the following warnings, please refer
to manual section on Exhaust Requirements and
Maintenance. IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
fire, combustion, and gas accumulation, the dryer
must be vented to the outdoors. Please follow the
instructions (and all others in this manual) very
carefully.
• Do not use Plastic or thin foil duct.
• Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or Semi-rigid
metal duct (note: venting materials are not
supplied with the dryer, and you should obtain the
venting materials necessary for proper installation)
• Position the Dryer such that the exhaust duct run is
as short as possible.
• Clean old ducts before installing this dryer
• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must
point away from the dryer
• Use as few elbow joints as possible.
• Use duct tape on all duct joints
• Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated
areas in order to reduce condensation and lint
build-up on pipe walls.
• PLEASE BE AWARE THAT FAILURE TO
EXHAUST THE DRYER CORRECTLY WILL
VOID THE DRYER'S WARRANTY.
