Exhaust system requirements
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid
or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which
has a swing-out damper(s) that open when the dryer
is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers
automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance
of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet,
maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other
obstruction.
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive
drying times and fire hazards.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer.
FIRE HAZARD

metal foil venting materials. Flexibleventing materials
are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint.

increase the risk of fire:...........................................................................................................................................................................................................

metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal
duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior
