Metal tlexlble duct must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE DUCT.
The metal flexible duct must be completely open to allow adequate exhaust alr to tlow.
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 klnking that may result in reduced air flow. Exhaust outlet is located at the center of the bottom dryer back.
The exhaust duct
can be routed up, down, left, right or straight out the back of the dryer. General space requirements are provided on Panel C. Use the straightest path you can, where 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 chart.
