Location Of Your Dryer - Frigidaire 137101400 Installation Instructions Manual

• Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust system
to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.
• Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated area may
cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
• Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will cause an
increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum
of every 18 months with normal usage. The more the dryer is
used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and
vent hood for proper operation.
EXHAUST DIRECTION
All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting.
However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or left
side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On gas dryers,
exhausting can be to the right side of the cabinet or the bottom of
the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by install-
ing Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your parts dis-
tributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.
