Dryer exhaust tips
WARNING: A plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.
• Make sure your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air easily.
• Use a 4” diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including at the dryer.
Never use lint-trapping screws.
• Keep ducts as straight as possible.
• 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.

Don’t let a poor exhaust system slow the drying process by:
• Restricting your dryer with a poor exhaust system.
• Using a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.
• Unnecessarily using long ducts that have many elbows.
• Allowing dented or clogged ducts and vent.
