Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid or fl exible metal duct and approved
vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when the dryer is in
operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent
drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet,
maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood
and the ground or any other obstruction.

fi re hazards.
The following are specifi c requirements for proper and safe opera-
tion of your dryer.

with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of
any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
