Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid or flexible 
metal ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and 
for venting outside. Failure to follow these 
instructions can result in fire or death.
To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or 
accumulation of combustible gases, DO 
NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and 
unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, 
ceiling, crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or 
concealed space of a building. Failure to 
follow these instructions can result in fire  
or death.
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust 
the dryer with plastic or thin foil ducting. 
Failure to follow these instructions can result  
in fire or death.
The exhaust duct must be 4 inches  
(10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. 
The exhaust duct should be kept as short as 
possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts 
before installing your new dryer. Failure to 
follow these instructions can result in fire or 
death.
Rigid or semirigid metal ducting is 
recommended for use between the dryer 
and the wall. In special installations when  
it is impossible to make a connection with 
the above recommendations, a UL-listed 
flexible metal transition duct may be used 
between the dryer and wall connection only. 
The use of this ducting will affect drying 
time. Failure to follow these instructions can 
result in fire or death.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other 
fasteners which extend into the duct that 
could catch lint and reduce the efficiency  
oftheexhaustsystem.Securealljoints 
with duct tape. Failure to follow these 
instructions can result in fire or death.
To maximize operating results, please 
observe the duct length limitations noted in 
the chart on page 17. Failure to follow these 
instructions can result in fire or death.
Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. 
You should obtain the necessary ductwork 
locally. The end cap should have hinged 
dampers to prevent backdraft when the 
dryer is not in use. Failure to follow these 
instructions can result in fire or death.
The Total length of flexible metal duct shall  
not exceed 8 ft. (2.4m)
In Canada, that only those foil-type flexible
