into a wall, ceiling, crawlspace, attic or any concealed space.

installation. Make sure exhaust duct is located between wall
studs or floor joists.
NOTE: When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do
not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
Make sure that any opening/cutout in the wall behind
the appliance and in the floor under the appliance are

BLOWER TO DUCTWORK ALIGNMENT
In general, the use of flexible ducting is discouraged
because it can cause severely restricted airflow. However,
if the blower outlet and the floor or wall duct location do
NOT align well, then flexible METAL ducting can be used to
adapt to an offset. Good alignment without use of flexible
ducting is best.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum recommended offset of 6".
• Do not allow the flexible ducting to kink or collapse.
• Do stretch the flexible ducting as much as possible to
eliminate as much of the corrugation as possible.
