Checking Your Vent
Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve
maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the
minimum recommended installation clearances found in the
Installation Instructions. See the Installation Instructions for more
information.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be
covered under the warranty. Proper venting of your dryer is
important for satisfactory drying results. See the Installation
Instructions for more detail.
NOTE: Service ca
lls caused by improper venting will be paid for by
the customer, whether it was a paid installation or self-installed.

plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4" (10.2 cm) metal
or flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush flexible metal vent. It
must be completely extended to allow adequate exhaust air to
flow. Check vent after installation. Refer to the Installation
Instructions for proper length requirements of vent.

every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new location.
When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation
