When installing your LG dryer it is important to properly install your dryer vent to maximize your dryer performance and to prevent any issues from occurring.
The ductwork recommended for use between the dryer in the wall should be rigid or semi rigid modeled ducting that is 4 inches in diameter.
Do NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting.
The exhaust duct run should be as short as possible.
Clean old ducts before installing the dryer.
Your new dryer is shifted to vent to the rear.
Please note that it can also be configured to vented side on some models.
An adapter kit is available for purchase from your LG retailer.
Make sure that use duct tape on all joints to fully insulate the venting system.
