Exhaust System Requirements; Fire Hazard - Frigidaire FASE7073NR2 Installation Manual

Exhaust system requirements
Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid or flexible metal
duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation.
When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to
prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents.
To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12
inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and
the ground or any other obstruction.
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive
drying times and fire hazards.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer.
FIRE HAZARD
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic or
metal foil venting materials. Flexible venting materials
are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint.
These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and
increase the risk of fire: ............................................................................................................................................................................................
:If your present system is made up of plastic duct or
metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal
duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior
