■ Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground
or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc.).
■ Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect
indoors, which may result in:
■ Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint,
wallpaper, carpets, etc.
■ Housecleaning problems and health problems.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
The dryer should be located where there is enough space at
the front for loading the dryer, and enough space behind for the
exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To
exhaust out the bottom, left or right. Contact your local dealer to
have the dryer converted. It’s important to make sure the room
has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is
no air-flow obstruction.

COMBUSTIBLE LINT. THE AREA AROUND THE DRYER
SHOULD BE KEPT LINT-FREE.
