DRYER EXHAUST
MAXIMIZE YOUR DRYER EFFICIENCY BY KEEPING THE EXHAUST DUCT CLEAN.
1. Disconnect or Turn off electrical power.
2. Disconnect duct from dryer.
3. Clean exhaust duct from the end where dryer is
connected to the exhause hood using:
• the hose attachment of your vacuum cleaner
• a dust rag attached to a pole (for straight
stretches) or to a drain cleaning wire (for less
accessible areas).
4. Inspect exhaust hood. To minimize resistance to the exhaust air flow:
• flap must move freely (you may check with a mirror);
• flap should be fully open when dryer in on;
• ensure that no wildlife (birds, insects,...) have nested inside the duct.
