Special provisions for mobile home installations:

The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that will help achieve best drying performance.

Vent System Chart

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.

Number of 90° turns or elbows

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations for 27" wide

models have a 90º turn inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90º turn to the chart.
