Home Venting System:
� If using an existing home vent system, clean lint from the entire
length of the system before installing the dryer.
� Make sure external exhaust hoods outside of the home is not
plugged with lint or other outside debris.
� Replace plastic of metal foil vents with rigid metal or flexible
metal vents. Review “Vent System Chart” and, if necessary,
modify existing home vent system to achieve best drying
performance.
Exhaust hoods:
� An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and
insects from entering the home.
� Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object that
may obstruct exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, bushes, or
snow).
� Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
Recommended Styles: Acceptable Style:
Louvered Hood Box Hood Angled Hood
Elbows:
� 45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
Clamps:
� Use clamps to seal all joints.
� Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws or
other fastening devices that extend into interior of duct and
catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
Vent products can be purchased from your dealer. For contact and
