Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter vent materiah Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below 45°F (7°C)1 Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45°F (7°C). Is the dryer located in a closet? Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The rear of the dryer requires 5" (12.7 cm) of airspace, and the sides and front of the dryer require a minimum of 1" (2.5 cm). See the Installation Instructions.

Odors • Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located? If so, ventilate the area.
