Step 3: Connect the exhaust ducting
1 Make sure that the exhaust hood flapper or louvers move freely.
If you do not have an exhaust hood installed, see Exhaust hood types
on page 12 for information about
recommended hood types. We recommend that you have a professional install the exhaust hood.
Important
Before you connect the exhaust ducting, review ducting requirements in
Ducting requirements
on page 12.
Warning
• Make sure that your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air easily.
• Keep ducts as straight as possible.
• DO NOT restrict your dryer with a poor exhaust system.
• DO NOT use unnecessarily long ducts that have many elbows.
• DO NOT use plastic flexible exhaust material.
• Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including
at the dryer.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws that can accumulate lint when
assembling the ducting. Joints should be taped.
• DO NOT let the duct tape cover the ventilation slots on the back of your
dryer.
• Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer. Be sure the vent flap
opens and closes freely. Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.
• DO NOT use a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.
• DO NOT use dented or clogged ducts and vent.
