■ 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 airow and poor performance.
■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.
■ The total length should not exceed 7
3
/

ft. (2.4 m).
■ The length of exible metal vent used must be included in the
