CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR
GOOD AIR FLOW
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.
GOOD AIR FLOW
Along with heat, dryers require good air flow to efficiently
dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying
times and improve your energy savings. See Installation
Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role
in good air flow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as
improper venting installation will reduce air flow and dryer
performance.
GOOD AIR FLOW (CONTD.)
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered
by the warranty and will be paid by the customer,
regardless of who installed the dryer. To clean or repair
venting, contact a venting specialist.
MAINTAIN GOOD AIR FLOW BY:
Ó
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
Ó
Replace plastic or foil vent material
with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid
vent material.
Ó
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
Ó
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air flow.
Good
Better
Ó
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
Ó
Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at
least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure
to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your
dryer for final product check.
Ó
Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
