The metal tlexlble duct must be tully extended to allow adequate exhaust alr to

Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend duct gradually to avoid kinking. Remove excess flexible duct to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced air flow.
The exhaust duct can be routed up, down, left, right or straight out the back of the washer/dryer. Space requirements are provided on Panel E and on the rear panel
of the washer/dryer. Use the straightest path possible to avoid 90 turns.
Maxlmum length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct used, number of elbows and the type of exhaust hood. The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in the chart.
