Use 100 mm

screws.
Keep duct runs as straight
as possible.
Clean all old ducts before
installing your new dryer. Be sure

Restrict your dryer with a
poor exhaust system.
Let a poor exhaust system
cause slow drying.
Use plastic, thin foil, or
non-metal flexible duct.
Use longer than necessary
duct runs with many
elbows.
Allow crushed or clogged
ducts and vent.
Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.
