Checking Your Vent
Your washer/dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency.
Install your washer/dryer in a well-ventilated room where the temperature is always above 7°C
(45°F). Also make sure that your washer/dryer is leveled. Refer to your Installation Instructions
for more information.
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
Venting
If the washer/dryer is not properly installed
and vented, it will not be covered under the
warranty.
NOTE: Service calls caused by improper
venting will be paid for by the customer,
whether it was a paid installation or self-
installed. For paid installation, call the
company that installed the vent for
adjustment.
1. 10.16 cm (4 inch) heavy metal or flexible
metal vent must be used. Do not use
plastic vent or flexible metal foil vent. Do
not kink or crush flexible metal vent. It
must be completely extended to allow
adequate exhaust air to flow. Check vent
after installation. Refer to your Installation
Instructions for proper length require-
ments of vent.
2. Use a 10.16 cm (4 inch) exhaust hood.
Smaller hoods increase drying times.
