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.
CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW
Along with heat, dryers require good airflow to efficiently dry
laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and
improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in
good airflow.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by
the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of
who installed the dryer.
Good Airflow
■ Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
■ Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
■ Use the shortest length of vent possible.
■ Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each
bend and curve reduces airflow.
■ Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
■ Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at
least every two years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to
follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer
for final product check.
■ Clear away items from the front the dryer.
