INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Exhaust system requirements Use only 4 inch (102 mm) 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. WARNING 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. WARNING FIRE HAZARD Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic or metal foil venting materials. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire. If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct. Correct Correct Incorrect Incorrect 6
