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 end where dryer
is connected to the exhaust 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 turns).
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 is on;
• ensure that no wildlife (birds, insects,...) have nested inside the duct.
