rigid or flexible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.
� Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps may
be used.
� Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent:
� Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent (acceptable only if accessible to clean):
� Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.
� Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result
in reduced airflow and poor performance.
� Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
� The total length should not exceed 7
3
/
4
ft (2.4 m).
� The length of flexible metal vent used must be included in the
overall vent system design as shown in the “Vent System
Chart.”
Home Venting System:
� If using an existing home vent system, clean lint from the entire
length of the system before installing the dryer.
� Make sure external exhaust hoods outside of the home is not
plugged with lint or other outside debris.
� Replace plastic of metal foil vents with rigid metal or flexible
metal vents. Review “Vent System Chart” and, if necessary,
modify existing home vent system to achieve best drying
performance.
Exhaust hoods:
� An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and
insects from entering the home.
� Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object that
may obstruct exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, bushes, or
snow).
� Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
