4. Use the straightest path possible when routing

the exhaust vent. Avoid

90° turns, if possible.
Allow room when using
elbows or making turns.
Bend vent gradually to
avoid kinking.

5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use

screws to secure vent.

Lint may catch on
screws.

6. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use,

but at least every 2 years,
or when installing your
dryer in a new location.

• Disconnect vent from

the dryer and clean one
section at a time until
you reach the exhaust

hood.

• Use the hose attach
ment on your vacuum,

or a pole or wire with a

feather duster or rag attached, to clean out lint.

' Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent

moves freely.

> When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the

Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer

for final product check.
