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 inches (30.5cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction. The vent flap should be able to move freely, although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable. Certain extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:

1. Only rigid metal duct work should be used.

2. V

enting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.

3. R

unning the exhaust system through an uninsulated area may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.

4. C

ompression of crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in vent restriction.

5. In Canada, that only those foil-types flexible ducts, if any, specifically

identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer shall be used. In the United States, that only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the UL Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A (2006), shall be used.
