**Dryer Duct Installation Precautions**
- - Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid or semi-rigid metal ducts for safety and efficiency.
- - Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible to improve airflow.
- - Install duct sections with the male ends pointing away from the dryer to prevent lint buildup.
- - Seal all duct joints securely with UL-listed duct tape to avoid air leaks.
- - Insulate ducts running through unheated spaces to prevent condensation.
- - Purchase ducts and fittings separately, as they are not included with the dryer.
- - For any repairs or complex installations, contact a qualified service technician.
