Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten
drying times. Install your dryer in a well-ventilated room where the temperature is always above
45°F (7°C). Also make sure that your dryer is leveled. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more
information.
Venting
Checking Your Vent
If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it
will not be covered under the warranty.
NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting
will be paid for by the customer, whether it was a
paid installation or self-installed. For paid installa-
tion, call the company that installed the vent for
adjustment.
1. Four-inch heavy metal or flexible metal vent must
be used. Do not use
plastic vent or flexible
metal foil vent. Do not
kink or crush flexible
metal vent. It must be
completely extended to
allow adequate exhaust
air to flow. Check vent
after installation. Refer
to your Installation
Instructions for proper
length requirements of vent.
