Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten
drying times. Install your dryer in a well-ventilated room where the temperature is always above
45°F (7°C). Also make sure that your dryer is leveled. Refer to your installation instructions for more

information.

Venting

2. Use a 4" exhaust hood. Smaller hoods increase

drying times.

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result

in death or fire.

If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it
will not be covered under the warranty.

3. The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left,

right, or straight out the
back of the dryer. Space

requirements are listed
in your Installation

Instructions.

NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting
will be paid for by the customer, whether it was a

paid installation or self-installed. For paid installa-
tion, call the company that installed the vent for

adjustment.

1. Four-inch heavy metal or flexible metal vent must
be used. Do not use

plastic vent or flexible
metal foil vent. Do not

kink or crush flexible
metal vent. It must be

completely extended to
allow adequate exhaust

air to flow. Check vent
after installation. Refer

to your Installation

Instructions for proper

length requirements of vent.

Venting (cont.)

4. Use the straightest path 3ossible when routing the
exhaust vent. Avoid 90°

turns, if possible. Allow

room when using
elbows or making turns.

Bend vent gradually to
avoid kinking.

5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use screws

to secure vent. Lint may

catch on screws.

6. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use,
but at least every 2 years,

or when installing your

dryer in a new location.

• Disconnect vent from
the dryer and clean one

section at a time until

you reach the exhaust

hood.

• Use the hose attach-
ment on your vacuum,

or a pole or wire with a

feather duster or rag attached, to clean out lint.

Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent
moves freely.

When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the

Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer

for final product check.

To get the best dryer results possible, you must use your dryer correctly. This section tells you how to
use your dryer properly and efficiently.
