Installing an external dryer lint trap involves connecting it into your dryer's exhaust ductwork. Based on the provided information, a key step is securing the duct coming from your dryer to the lint trap unit.
Connecting the Dryer Duct to the Lint Trap
When installing an external dryer duct lint trap, one specific action involves connecting the duct leading from your dryer to the lint trap itself.
Here is the specific step described:
- Connecting the Dryer Duct: Slide the free end of the remaining duct coming from the dryer over the bottom collar of the lint trap unit.
- Securing the Connection: And secure it with the other adjustable metal clamp.
This step ensures that the lint trap is properly connected to the exhaust path of your dryer, allowing it to capture lint before it travels further down the vent line. Proper securing with a metal clamp helps prevent air leaks and ensures effective lint collection.
