any

time

you

suspect

dryer

performance

is

decreased.

Remove

lint

to

prevent

diminished

air

flow

or

clogging

of

the

system.

Professional

cleaning

is

recommended

annually

and

when

longer

than

specified

in

the

maximum

ductwork

length

table

on

page

is

not

permitted.

Not

adhering

to

this

table

will

extend

drying

time,

cause

lint

to

accumulate

and

affect

dryer

performance

and

dryer

lifeĆtime.

All

joints

should

be

tight

to

avoid

leaks.

The

male

end

of

each

duct

section

must

point

away

from

the

dryer.

Whether

connecting

to

an

existing

venting

system

or

a

new

venting

system,

make

sure

that

all

ducting

is

clean

and

free

of

lint.

The

maximum

permitted

length

for

rigid

duct

and

for

rigid

duct

used

with

flexible

metal

duct

is

shown

in

the

table

below.

If

using

flexible

metal

ducting

to

connect

the

to

the

ductwork

system,

the

total

length

of

duct

used

shall

not

exceed

2.4

m

and

can

only

be

used

to

connect

the

dryer

to

the
