Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect
indoors, which may result in:
[] Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wall-
paper, carpets, etc.
[] Housecleaning problems and health problems.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and
kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when
the laundry center is in its final position. Remove excess flexible
metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in
reduced airflow.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and
insects from entering the home.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12 in. (30.5 cm) from the ground or
any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks or bushes, etc.).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or
flexible metal vent.
Use duct tape to seal all joints.
