Cleaning
Exhaust Duct
Inspect and clean the dryer exhaust ducting at least once a year
to prevent clogging. A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen
the drying time.
To clean the exhaust duct follow these steps:
Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the plug from the
1
wall socket.
Disconnect exhaust duct from the dryer.
2
Vacuum the exhaust duct with hose attachment or attach a rag
3
to a pole or drain cleaning wire and clean duct.
Exhaust Hood
Make sure the inside flaps of the exhaust hood move freely (you
may want to check with a mirror).
Make sure inside flaps are fully open when dryer is operating.
Make sure there is not wild life (birds, insects, etc.) nesting
inside the exhaust duct or hood.
Venting
For best drying performance, the dryer needs to be properly vented.
To keep your dryer operating at peak performance, be sure to have a technician vacuum the lint
from the machine every three years.
Carefully follow the details on Exhausting
in the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 100mm
(4”) diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet
or for exhausting to the outside.
Use the shortest length possible.
Do not crush or collapse.
Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
Do not use plastic or other combustible
ductwork.
Venting must conform to local building
codes.
