Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid or fl exible

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 (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the
ground or any other obstruction.
