3. The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left, right, or
straight out the back of the dryer. Space requirements are
listed in your Installation Instructions.
4. Use the straightest path possible when routing the exhaust
vent. Use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Allow room
when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent gradually to
avoid kinking.
5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use screws to secure
vent. Lint may catch on screws.
6. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at
least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new
location.
Disconnect vent from the dryer and clean one section at a
time until you reach the exhaust hood.
To clean out lint, use the hose attachment on your
vacuum, or a pole or wire with a feather duster or rag
attached.
Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent moves
freely.
When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the
Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final
product check.
