Connecting the exhaust duct to
the dryer
NOTE:
You will need to purchase a UL-CSA-ap-
proved 4-inch ridged metal exhaust duct.
The dryer is delivered with the stub pipe
attached to the rear exhaust outlet, but the
exhaust duct can be attached to either the
right or left exhaust outlet.
To connect the exhaust duct to the rear
outlet
To connect the exhaust duct to the rear
outlet, follow the steps below:
1.Push the duct onto the stub pipe and
secure it with a clamp.
2.With the duct attached, insert the stub
pipe into the hole. It should snap into
place.
3.After you push the dryer into place,
check for kinks in the duct.
NOTE:
Excessive duct length and too many bends
can impede drying performance. We
recommend that you cut off any excess
exhaust duct and run the duct with as few
bends as possible. Make any necessary
bends as gentle as possible.
NOTE:
Maximum duct length of 60 feet is allowed.
Subtract 4 feet of duct for each 90° elbow.
ASKO dryers have a
“T-style” exhaust vent that
allows you to connect the
duct on the rear or on the
left or right side.

Connecting to a ventilation duct
You will need a UL-CSA-approved, 4-inch
ridged metal exhaust duct.
NOTE:
The more bends and the longer the duct,
the less air will circulate through the ma-
chine, which will impede drying perfor-
mance. We recommend that you cut off any
excess exhaust duct and run the duct with
as few bends as possible. And make any
necessary bends as gentle as possible.
