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