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.
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.
5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use
screws to secure vent.
Lint may catch on
screws.
