Donotinstallaclothesdryerwithexibleplastic

ormetalfoilventingmaterials.Flexibleventing

materials are known to collapse, be easily

crushed and trap lint. These conditions will

obstruct clothes dryer airﬂow and increase the

risk of ﬁre.

Exhaust system requirements

If your present system is made up of plastic

duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or

semi-rigid metal duct. In Canada and the United

Statesifmetal(foiltype)ductisinstalled,itmust

be of a speciﬁc type identiﬁed by the appliance

manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes

dryers and in the United States must also comply

with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct,

UL standard 2158A. Also, ensure the present duct

is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

orexiblemetalductandapprovedventhood

whichhasaswing-outdamper(s)thatopenwhen

the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops,

the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts

and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid

restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12
