OUTDOORS.
2. To reduce the risk of fire, do not
use ductwork longer than
recommended. Refer to the
maximum ductwork length table
(see page 18).
3. DO NOT use a plastic, metal foil,
or any other non-metal duct with
this dryer. Only rigid or flexible
metal duct shall be used for
exhausting. Metal foil and flexible
metal ducting are NOT the same.
4. DO NOT use more than 2.4 m of
flexible metal ducting.
5. DO NOT use a duct smaller than 4
inches (101.6mm) in diameter.

Ductwork
The dryer vent system moves moist air
away as your clothes tumble dry. You
can shorten drying times, save energy
and help ensure the safety of the
system by making sure your dryer's
exhaust duct system is properly
installed and maintained.
Important Points to Consider:
Keep exhaust duct runs (total
length of the exhaust duct system
from the dryer to the exhaust hood
outside) as short as possible (refer
to the table "Maximum Ductwork
Length" on page 18.)
Use the minimum number of
elbows needed when installing the
exhaust duct system. Avoid
placing two 90 degree elbows
adjacent to one another.
Check and clean the exhaust duct
system and exhaust hood at least
once each year, and any time you
suspect dryer performance is
decreased.
%
Remove accumulated lint to
prevent diminished air flow or
clogging of the system.
Professional cleaning is
recommended annually and when
attaching your dryer to a previously
used exhaust duct system.
Replace any plastic or metal foil
venting sections with rigid metal or
flexible metal ducting. Rigid metal
ducting is recommended.
Correct exhaust system installation
is the responsibility of the
consumer.
D Problems that result from
incorrect installation are not
covered by the appliance
warranty.
Exhaust ducting which is longer than
specified in the maximum ductwork
length table on page 18 is not
permitted. Not adhering to this table
will extend drying time, cause lint to
accumulate and affect dryer
performance and life-time.
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
