Venting
If the washer/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 installation, call the
company that installed the vent for
adjustment.
1. Do not use plastic vent or flexible metal
foil vent. Use four-inch heavy metal or
flexible metal 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.
2. Use a 4" exhaust hood. Smaller hoods
increase drying times.
