Routing and Connecting
Ductwork
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 10 cm diameter rigid, semi-rigid or flexible
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.
• Incorrect or inadequate exhaust systems are not
covered by the dryer warranty. Dryer failures or
service required because of such exhaust
systems will not be covered by the dryer
warranty.
