Venting (cont.)
5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use screws
to secure vent. Lint may
catch on screws.
4. Use the straightest path possible when routing the
exhaust vent. Use the
fewest number of elbows
and turns. Allow room
when using elbows or
making turns. Bend vent
gradually to avoid kinking.
6. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use,
but at least every 2 years,
or when installing your
dryer in a new location.
•
Disconnect vent from
the dryer and clean one
section at a time until
you reach the exhaust
hood.
•
Use the hose attach-
ment on your vacuum,
or a pole or wire with a
feather duster or rag attached, to clean out lint.
•
Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent
moves freely.
•
When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the
Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer
for final product check.
