DO NOT vent into a wall, ceiling, crawlspace, attic or any concealed space. Cut hole in cabinet wall or floor as appropriate for your installation. Make sure exhaust duct is located between wall studs or floor joists.

However, if the blower outlet and the floor or wall duct location do NOT align well, then flexible METAL ducting can be used to adapt to an offset. Good alignment without use of flexible ducting is best. NOTE: • D o not exceed the maximum recommended offset of 6". • D o not allow the flexible ducting to kink or collapse. • D o stretch the flexible ducting as much as possible to eliminate as much of the corrugation as possible. 25" 287⁄8" 17⁄8" min. 6" Max.
