Exhaust hoods:
■ Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object
that may obstruct exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, bushes,
or snow).
Elbows:
■ 45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
Clamps:
■ Use clamps to seal all joints.
■ Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws
or other fastening devices that extend into interior of duct
and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
See “Venting Kits” for more information.
