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.
