Ductwork
To ensure optimum performance, the
ducting system of the dryer should be
as short as possible with a minimum
number of elbows. Your dryer will work
best when the venting system has as
few air flow restrictions as possible.
Exhaust ducting which is longer than
recommended may extend drying time,
cause lint to accumulate and affect
dryer performance and dryer lifeĆtime.
FourĆinch (approx. 100 mm) diameter
ducting should be used. Use either
rigid metal or flexible metal ducting
material.
DO NOT use plastic or nonĆmetal duct
with this dryer.
DO NOT assemble the ductwork with
screws or fasteners that extend into the
duct. They will serve as an
accumulation point for lint.
Joints should be secured with
aluminum tape.
All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.
The male end of each duct section
must point away from the dryer.
Whether connecting to an existing
venting system or a new venting
system, make sure that all ducting is
clean and free of lint.
The maximum permitted length for both
rigid and flexible metal duct is shown in
the table below.

Note:
Side and bottom exhaust installations
have a 90° turn inside the dryer. To
determine maximum exhaust length,
add one 90° turn to the chart.
More than two 90
° turns are not
recommended. For best performance,
separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of
straight duct, including distance
between last turn and exhaust hood.
Exhaust vent hood
The exhaust duct must end with an
approved exhaust vent hood with
swing out damper(s). DO NOT use an
exhaust vent hood with magnetic
latches.
To avoid exhaust restriction, the outlet
must be a minimum of 12 inches (30
cm) above ground level or any other
obstructing surface.

system (elbows, lines, exhaust air
