DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE. l_ sing exhaust longer than specified length wilh * Increase the chying times and the energ F cost. * Reduce the cho_er life. * Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard. The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty. Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil transition duct and replace with I_L listed transition duct. The MAXIMI_ M ALLOWABLE duct length and number of bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. The maximum duct length for rigid metal duct is shown in the table below. EXHAUST LENGTH RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM LENGTH Exhaust Hood Types Recommended Use only for short run installations 4" DIA.

SEPARATION OF TURNS For best perfermance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct, including distance between last ttlrn and exhaust hood. TURNS OTHER THAN 90 ° * Oile ttlrn of 45 ° or less may be ignored. , Two 45 ° tt/rns shouht be treated as one 90 ° tt/rn. , Each tt/rn over 45 ° shouhl be treated as one 90 ° tt/rn. SEALING OF JOINTS * _Mljoints should be tight te avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away flom the dryer. * Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection point fer lint. Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with d t_ct rope. Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors _½inch per feot iNSULATION Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning 4 shouhl be insulated to reduce condensation and lint buihl-t_p.
