• 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 may result in reduced airflow and poor performance. • Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.

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. Clamp Exhaust Recommended hood styles are shown here. B (10.2 cm) A. Louvered hood style B. Box hood style The angled hood style (shown here) is acceptable, "<'k"_-k_2,/_ ,, (6.4cm) 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 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.

Terminate the exhaust vent outside. Determine vent path • Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors. • Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns. • When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible. • Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. • Use the fewest 90 ° turns possible, Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance • Use the Vent system chart below to determine type of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use, • NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those specified will: • Shorten the life of the dryer. • Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage, The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying performance, Vent system chart NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90 ° turn inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90 ° turn to the chart.
