Venting the Dryer (cont.)
Routing and Connecting Ductwork
NOTE
Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow. It is not
recommended to use more than four 90° elbows.
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.
• Incorrect or inadequate exhaust systems are not
covered by the dryer warranty. Failures or poor
performance caused by such exhaust systems will
not be covered by the dryer warranty.
