Routing and Connecting Ductwork
Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying 
performance and reduce lint buildup and 
condensation in the ductwork.
NOTE: 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.
IMPORTANT: Failure to exhaust the dryer 
correctly will void the dryer’s warranty.
