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. Dryer failures or
service required because of such exhaust
systems will not be covered by the dryer
warranty.

• Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply at
pressures greater than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• Supply line requirements: Your laundry room
must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer.
