Venting Requirements

VENTING

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,

chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space

of a building. Only rigid or exible 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 nal dryer location.

■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result

in reduced airow and poor performance.

■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.

■ The total length should not exceed 7

ft. (2.4 m).

■ The length of exible metal vent used must be included in

the overall vent system design as shown in the “Vent System

Charts.”

NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire

length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged

with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal

or exible metal vents. Review “Vent System Charts” and if

necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying

performance.

or other fastening devices that extend into interior of duct

and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

■ An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and

insects from entering the home.

that may obstruct exhaust (such as owers, rocks, bushes,

or snow).
