VENTINGTHEDeYER

|MPORTANT! CHECK YOUR EXHAUST SYSTEMFOR PROBLEMS

The most common cause of dryer problems is poor *
exhaust venting. Before installing your new dryer,
check the items listed below to make sure you get the

best possible performance. This can save you time and

money by reducing cycle times and increasing energy •

e{_)ciency.

• DIRTY OR DAMAGED EXHAUST DUCTS. Lint builds

up in exhaust ducts over time. This decreases the
airflow and makes the dryer work harder. Visually

inspect your ducts from both ends and have them
cleaned if they have not been cleaned recently.

* WRONG VENT MATERIAL. Check your vent to make

sure it is rigid or semi-rigid metal ducfing, if your

RESTRICTED OR DAMAGED VENT HOOD. Check

your vent hood outside. !t must be clean and free of lint

buildup. Check the damper and make sure it opens fully

and easily.

EXCESSIVELY LONG VENT. Measure the length of your

exhaust system and count the elbows. Use the chart

below to see if your duct is too (ong. If it is fad (one,
have the duct routed to another mocafion that is within

the venting guidelines.

o DO NOT USE PLASTIC OR FOIL VENTING. The

transition duct from your dryer to the waft must be rigid
or semi-rigid metal ducfing. If your old transition duct is

plastic or foil_ REPLACE IT with semi-rigid metal ducting.

venting is plastic or flexible foil, have if replaced

before ushg the dryer.

Using the DUCT LENGTH CHART (be|ow)

0 Find ycur vent hood type in the chart below.

Select the row that matches the number of elbows in your dryer duct run.

Look to the right of the elbow number for the maximum duct length for your installation. Longerduct length will result
in reduced drying performance, longer dry times and increased energy consumption.Extremely long ducts can even

shortenthe life of the dryer.

DO NOT exceed the maximum length for the vent hood type and number of elbows used.

VENTING THE DRYER (continued)

Routing and Connecting Duclwork

Follow the guidelines below to maximize dryer
performance and reduce lint buildup and condensation

in the ductwork.

Correct Venting

NOTE: Transition duct _from dryer to wall) and fittings
are NOT included and must be purchased separately.

* Use 4 inch {102ram} diameter rigid or semi-rigid

metal duct.

•The exhaust duct run should be as short as possible.

• Use as few elbow joints as possible.

• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must
point away from the dryer. See figure on lower right of

page.

• Use duct tape on all joints. Never use screws.

• Insulate ducts, that runs through unheated areas in

order to reduce condensation and lint buiJdup on
duct surfaces.

• The total length of semi-rigid metal transition duct

should not exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m).

A WARNING: Failuretofo,owthese

guidelines wil! result in poor performance, product
failure, and/or resultin fire or death.

IMPORTANT: Failure to exhaust the dryer, per the

guidelines included within these instructions, may

result in unsatisfactory dryer performance. All venting

and ductwork beyond the exterior of the dryer is the

responsibility of the consumer. Product failure, as a

result of improper venting, is not covered by the dryer

warranty.

Loading Tips

"Combine large and small items in the same load.
* Damp cJotheswill expand as they dry. Do not overload

the dryer; clothes require room to tumble and
dry properly.

"Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these

items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

CHECK THE LINT FILTER BEFORE EVERY LOAD

Every time the dryer is turned on, the CHECK FtLTER
light will blink as a reminder to make sure the fiffer is
cJean. Always make sure the lint filter is dean before

starting a new load; a clogged lint rifler will increase

drying times. To clean, puJlthe lint filter straight up and

roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse

or wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly

back into place.

Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before

running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or
