VENTING THE DRYER (continued)
Routing and Connecting Ductwork
Follow the guidelines below to maximize dryer
performance and reduce lint buildup and condensation in
the ductwork.
NOTE: Transition duct and fi ttings are NOT included and
must be purchased separately.
• Use 4 inch (102mm) diameter rigid or semi-rigid
metal duct.
• 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 joints. Never use screws.
• Insulate ducts that runs through unheated areas in order
to reduce condensation and lint buildup on
duct surfaces.
• The total length of semi-rigid metal transition duct
should not exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m).
IMPORTANT: Failure to exhaust the dryer, per the
guidelines included within these instructions, may
result in unsatisfactory dryer performance. All venting
and ductwork beyond the exterior of the dryer is the
responsibility of the consumer. Product failure, as a result
of improper venting, is not covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Connecting the Dryer Vent
1
Verify all ducts and elbows are clean and free from
any blockages.
2
Measure duct length. DO NOT exceed the maximum
length listed in the Duct Length Chart.
3
Connect dryer exhaust to existing duct.
• Only use duct tape or clamps.
• DO NOT use screws to secure ductwork.
• Use rigid or semi-rigid metal ducts.
• DO NOT use plastic or thin metal foil tubing
for ductwork.
• The male end of each elbow must always point in the
direction of the airfl ow.
NOTE: Be careful when moving the dryer into its
fi nal location. Do NOT crush the duct. Make sure the
connections do not come loose.
WARNING: Failure to follow these
guidelines will result in poor performance and product
failure, and may result in fi re or death.
