flexible 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.

covered by the dryer warranty. Dryer failures or

service required because of such exhaust

systems will not be covered by the dryer
