CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR 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.

WARNING
M
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.
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.
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter
heavy, rigid vent material.
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each
bend and curve reduces air flow.
