Connecting to Venting

Proper venting is critical for performance and safety.

Use correct ducting: Rigid metal ducting is recommended. Flexible metal ducting is acceptable if not crushed.
Avoid plastic ducting: Do not use plastic or foil ducting as it presents a fire hazard.
Keep vent path short and straight: Minimize length and elbows (max 25 feet, subtract 5 feet for each 90° elbow).
Vent to outdoors: Never vent indoors. Ensure exterior vent hood opens freely.
Secure connections: Use clamps to secure ducting to dryer and wall vent. Do not use screws inside the duct.

Tip: Clean the lint filter before every load and inspect the venting system annually for blockages.
