Duct Connections; Duct Length - Amana AKGD3060 Series Owner's Manual

Duct Connections

• Blower exhaust faces towards rear wall from factory.
Connect blower exhaust to ducting with 3¼ x 10-inch
piece.
• Do not install 2 elbow fittings next to each other. Two
elbow fittings joined together create unusual air
patterns and can result in poor ventilation.
• Do not vent into an attic or crawl space. Always vent
outside.
• Seal all joints in venting system with duct tape to
avoid smoke or odor in home.
• Do not use laundry wall caps. Wall cap must have
minimum of 28 square inches free air space. Use
Amana wall cap model CC30.
Vertical and Left Duct Connection
To vent out left wall or vertically, remove vent filler
piece and move to rear of blower.
1. Remove 4 screws that attach vent filler.
• See illustration.
2. Move vent filler to rear of blower.
3. Attach vent filler with 4 screws.
Horizontal Rear Duct Connection
To vent out rear wall, do not move vent filler piece.

Duct Length

Ducting design is in terms of maximum length of
straight metal duct. To ensure proper air movement,
limit fittings, other than straight, to 50% of total duct
length. Maximum allowable calculated duct length is
60 equivalent feet.
• Use "Duct Length Piece Equivalents" section to
calculate duct length.
• Flexible duct is not recommended because it can
create a fire hazard. However, if it is used, one foot of
flexible duct is equal to two feet of smooth metal
duct.
