You will need a UL-CSA-approved, 4-inch ridged metal exhaust duct. To connect the exhaust duct to a ventilation outlet, follow the steps below: NOTE: The more bends and the longer the duct, the less air will circulate through the machine, which will impede drying performance. We recommend that you cut off any excess exhaust duct and run the duct with as few bends as possible. And make any necessary bends as gentle as possible. 1.
