Along with heat, dryers require good air flow to efficiently dry 
laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve 
your energy savings.  See Installation Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good 
air flow.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death 
or fire.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the 
warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who 
installed the dryer.

Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
 
Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) 
 
diameter heavy, rigid vent material. 
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
