Venting the Dryer
For the best drying performance, the dryer needs to be prop-
erly vented. The dryer will use more energy and run longer if
it is not vented to the specifications below. Carefully follow
the details on Exhausting in the Installation Instructions.
• Use only rigid metal 4" diameter ductwork inside the
dryer cabinet. Use only rigid metal or UL approved flex-
ible metal 4" diameter ductwork for exhausting to the out-
side.
• Do not use plastic or other combustible ductwork.
• Use the shortest length possible.
• Do not crush or collapse ductwork.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
• Venting must conform to local building codes.
