Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow. Use of
more than four 90º elbows is not recommended.
NOTE
Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying
performance and reduce lint buildup and
condensation in the ductwork.
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.
• Failure to exhaust the dryer correctly will void the
dryer’s warranty.
