Location Of Your Dryer - Frigidaire AGQ8000FG 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.
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 installing Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your parts distribu-
tor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.
