•
An exhaust
hood should
cap the vent to keep rodents and insects from entering
the home.
•
Exhaust hood
must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in
the path of the exhaust
(such as flowers,
rocks or bushes, snow line, etc.).
•
Do not use an exhaust
hood with a magnetic
latch.
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.
