Hello there, Marion. Thank you for your question about venting the LG DLE3400W Electric Dryer. We understand the importance of safe and efficient venting for your dryer. While flexible vent hoses are commonly used, we recommend using rigid or semi-rigid metal venting to maintain optimal airflow and ensure safety, as per our official guidelines. Using flexible vent hoses may restrict airflow, potentially impacting performance.
