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 your 
Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion 
and ventilation air. See the Installation Instructions for more 
information.
If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be 
covered under the warranty.
NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for 
by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or self-
installed. 
1. Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in. (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 your 
Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of vent.
2. Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood.
3. Use the straightest path possible when routing the vent.
4. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or 
other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent 
to secure vent.
5. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at 
least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new 
location. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the 
Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final 
product check.
