subject to change.
• For maximum efficiency, use shortest, straightest duct run possible. 
Unit operates most efficiently with up to 100 equivalent feet of duct. 
(Refer to Calculating Duct Length Table in Product Installation Guide.) 
• Flexible ducting is not recommended due to severely restricted 
airflow; if blower outlet and floor or wall duct location do NOT align, 
flexible METAL ducting can be used to adapt to offset.
• Thermal breaks such as short section of nonmetallic duct, should 
be used in areas of extreme cold. Cold weather installations should 
have additional backdraft damper installed.
Note: For planning purposes only. Refer to Product Installation Guide 
on the web at frigidaire.com for detailed instructions.
