Exhaust hoods:

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.

■ An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and

insects from entering the home.

■ Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object

that may obstruct exhaust (such as ﬂowers, rocks, bushes,

or snow).

■ Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Rigid metal vent:

■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid

crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent: (acceptable only if accessible to clean)

■ Must be fully extended and supported in ﬁnal dryer location.

■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result

in reduced airﬂow and poor performance.

■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or ﬂoors.

■ The total length should not exceed 7

ft. (2.4 m).

■ The length of ﬂexible metal vent used must be included

in the overall vent system design as shown in the “Vent

System Charts.”

NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire

length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged

with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal

or ﬂexible metal vents. Review “Vent System Charts” and, if

necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying

performance.
