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 the following "Vent System Charts" to determine type

■

of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified

in "Vent System Charts." Exhaust systems longer than those

specified 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.
