Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air. See the Installation Instructions for more information. NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or selfinstalled. 1. Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in. (10.2 cm) metal or flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush flexible metal vent. It must be completely extended to allow adequate exhaust air to flow. Check vent after installation. Refer to your Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of vent. 2. Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood. 3. Use the straightest path possible when routing the vent. Fire Hazard Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use a plastic vent, Do not use a metal foil vent. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire. If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be covered under the warranty. 4. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent. 5. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new location.
