Checking Your Vent

Your washer/dryer must be properly installed and vented for the
dryer to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying
times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances
(found in your Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow
of combustion and ventilation air. See the Installation Instructions
for more information.

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.

1. Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in. (10.2 cm)

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 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood.
3. Use the straightest path possible when routing the vent.

4. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or

other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent
to secure vent.

5. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at

least every 2 years, or when installing your washer/dryer in a
new location. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the
Installation Instructions supplied with your washer/dryer for
final product check.
