For the best drying performance, the dryer needs to be properly vented. The
dryer will use more energy and run longer if it is not vented to the below
specifications. Carefully follow the details on Exhausting in the Installation
Instructions.
Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4" diameter ductwork inside the dryer
cabinet or for exhausting to the outside.
Do not use plastic or other combustible ductwork.
Use the shortest length possible.
Do not crush, kink or collapse the duct.
Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
Venting must conform to local building codes.
Do not remove the vent protector from the back of the dryer (on some models).
Flip the protector down to its lowest position and connect the exhaust duct to
the dryer. The lowered protector will prevent the duct from getting crushed
(on some models).
