Exhaustingthedryer.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
ExhaustSystemRequirements
Use only 4" (102 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid metal
duct for best performance, or flexible metal duct. Use
approved vent hood which has swing-out dampers
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" (30.5 cm) clearance between the
vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.

DO NOTexceed die length of duct pipe or
number of elbows allowed in dm Maximum Length
charts. Lint can accumulate in the exhaust
system, plugging dm system and creating a fire
hazard, as well as increasing dodng times.
DO NOTscreen the exhaust ends of the vent
system, nor use any screws or rivets to assemble
the exhaust system. Lint can become caugilt in
the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the
duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as
increasing drying times. Use an approved vent
hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal
all joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe
fittings MUSTbe installed downstream with
the flow of air:
