EXHAUST DUCTING GUIDE
Ducting
1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection.
Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.
Cleaning
Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent fl ap opens and closes
freely. We recommend that you clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.
• To prevent fi re, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal fl exible ducts of any kind.
• Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer's performance.
WARNING
• Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
• Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.
