General Duct Recommendation
✓ Support the flexible duct often to prevent sags or bends.
✓ Stretch the duct to make for a smoother interior with less air resistance.
✓ For a 90-degree bend, insert a metal elbow inside the flexible duct to avoid crimping.
✓ Do not squeeze or reduce the inside diameter of the ducts. This restricts the
airflow.
✓ Use short and straight ductwork.
✓ Review the configuration schematic on the Overview Sketch on page 12 for
information about which panels are available for duct connections and service.
✓ Remove the panels or grilles from the openings to connect the ductwork.
✓ Check that all the fan blades move freely.
✓ Check for loose foreign objects in any of the air paths.

Do not clamp around the outside insulation. It compresses and loosens over time.

bend the gasket.
