The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, 
chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or 
floors.
Use clamps to seal all joints. Exhaust vent must not be 
connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices 
which extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct 
tape.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and 
kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when 
the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent 
to avoid sagging and kinking that can result in reduced airflow 
and poor performance.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and 
insects from entering the home.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or 
any object that is in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, 
rocks or bushes, etc.).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length 
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with 
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or 
flexible metal vent.
