Venting the dryer (cont.)
Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow. It is not recommended
to use more than four 90° elbows.
ROUTING AND CONNECTING DUCTWORK
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.
