NOTE
Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying performance and
reduce lint buildup and condensation in the ductwork.
Ductwork and fittings are NOT included and must be purchased
separately.
• Use 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or semirigid metal ductwork.
• The exhaust duct run should be as short as possible.
• Use as few elbow joints as possible.
• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must point away from
the dryer.
• Use duct tape on all duct joints.
• Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas in order to
reduce condensation and lint buildup on duct surfaces.
• Failure to exhaust the dryer correctly will void the dryer's warranty.
