moisture from being blown into the room.

If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it
with metal before installation this appliance
Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure
containment of the exhaust air heat, and lint.
The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an
attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a building.

when installed in alcove or closet.

maximum duct length and number of bends.
All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that
