Check the length of the exhaust vent. It MUST NOT be longer than the
lengths shown in the chart below. If it is too long, have it repaired or
vented elsewhere.
2. Connect the dryer exhaust to the home exhaust system with rigid or
semi-rigid metal duct. DO NOT USE vinyl or foil duct for connecting
the dryer. Make the transition as short as possible for best results.
3. Check the exhaust hood on the outside wall. Make sure it is not
damaged and that it is clear of lint buildup. Make sure the damper is
working properly.
4. Check the exhaust for lint buildup or damage. Make sure the duct is
clean and in good condition.
5. Use care when positioning the dryer in its final location. Check the
transition duct to make sure it is not crushed or kinked.
