Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps
■
may be used.
Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■
Rigid metal vent:
Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
■
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)
Must be fully extended and supported in fi nal dryer location.
■
Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may
■
result in reduced airfl ow and poor performance.
Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or fl oors.
■
The total length should not exceed 7¾ ft. (2.4 m).
■
The length of fl exible metal vent used must be included
■
in the overall vent system design as shown in the Vent

metal vents. Review Vent System Chart, and if necessary, modify
existing vent system to achieve best drying performance.
