Install Vent System

Install exhaust hood

Moblie Home Exhaust installation

Determine vent path:

■ Select route that will provide straightest and most direct

path outdoors.

■ Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.

■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room

as possible.

■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

■ Use as few 90° turns as possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance:

■ Use following Vent System Chart to determine type of vent

material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those

specied will:

■ Shorten life of dryer.

■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times

and increased energy usage.

The Vent System Charts provide venting requirements that will help achieve best drying performance.

Electric Models:

■ For power supply cord installation, plug into a grounded

outlet. For direct wire installation, turn on power.

Gas Models:

■ Check that gas supply is on.

■ Check for leaks.

Steam models only:

■ Be sure the water faucets are on.

■ Check for leaks around “Y” connector, faucet, and hoses.

■ If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is

recommended to control the buildup of scale through the water system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime scale may clog dierent parts of the water system, which will reduce product performance. Excessive scale buildup may lead to the need for certain part replacement or repair.

All Models:

■ Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and start dryer.

Do not select Air Only temperature setting.

If dryer will not start, check the following:

• Controls are set in a running or “On” position.

• Start button has been pushed rmly.

• Dryer is plugged into an outlet and/or electrical supply is connected.

• Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has not tripped.

• Dryer door is closed.

This dryer automatically runs an installation diagnostic routine

at the start of its rst cycle.

If you receive an L2 code, there may be a problem with your home power supply keeping the dryer’s heater from turning on. See “Troubleshooting.”

If your airow screen reads “Check Vent”, your dryer vent may be crushed or blocked. See “Troubleshooting.”
