Amana W10232964A User Manual

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

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 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" (102 mm) 

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.

2. Use a 4" (102 mm) 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, which can catch lint.

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.
