Amana ngd5500tq Installation Instruction

■

Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and 
kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor 
performance.

■

Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or 
floors.

45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.

■

Use clamps to seal all joints. 

■

Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws 
or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the 
duct. Do not use duct tape.

Recommended hood styles are shown here.

The angled hood style (shown here) is acceptable.

■

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and 
insects from entering the home.

■

Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) 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.

Typical installations vent the dryer from the rear of the dryer. 
Other installations are possible.

Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for 
your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown. 
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
