• RESTRICTED OR DAMAGED vENT HOOD. Check
your vent hood outside. It must be clean and free of lint
buildup. Check the damper and make sure it opens fully
and easily.
• EXCESSIvELY LONG vENT. Measure the length of your
exhaust system and count the elbows. Use the chart
below to see if your duct is too long. If it is too long,
have the duct routed to another location that is within
the venting guidelines.
• DO NOT USE PLASTIC OR FOIL vENTING. The
transition duct from your dryer to the wall must be rigid
or semi-rigid metal ducting. If your old transition duct is
plastic or foil, REPLACE IT with semi-rigid metal ducting.
Using the DUCT LENGTH CHART (below)
Find your vent hood type in the chart below.
Select the row that matches the number of elbows in your dryer duct run.
Look to the right of the elbow number for the maximum duct length for your installation. Longer duct length will result
in reduced drying performance, longer dry times and increased energy consumption. Extremely long ducts can even
shorten the life of the dryer.
DO NOT exceed the maximum length for the vent hood type and number of elbows used.

continue to attempt main burner ignition until all air is
purged from the line. Once ignition occurs, the air inside
the dryer will become warm.
Checking Venting
Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup
and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable
reduction in drying performance occurs, check the duct
for obstructions and blockages.
