Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4-inch (10.2
cm) diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet
or for exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic
or other combustible ductwork can cause a fire.
Punctured ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses
or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during
installation.

Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you
should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The
end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent
backdraft when the dryer is not in use.
