ROuting and Connecting Ductwork Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying performance and reduce lint buildup and condensation in the ductwork. NOTE: Ductwork and fittings are NOT included and must be purchased separately. • Use 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or semirigid metal ductwork. • The exhaust duct run should be as short as possible. • Use as few elbow joints as possible. • The male end of each section of exhaust duct must point away from the dryer. • Use duct tape on all duct joints. • Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas in order to reduce condensation and lint buildup on duct surfaces. IMPORTANT: Failure to exhaust the dryer correctly will void the dryer's warranty. Correct Venting I Incorrect Venting MFL62512806 EN 0208.indd 17 17 2010.2.8 2:7:4 PM
