An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and 
insects from entering the home.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or 
any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as 
flowers, rocks, or bushes, snow line, etc.).
Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect 
indoors, which may result in:
Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper, 
carpets, etc.
Housecleaning problems and health problems.
