Determine

vent

path

•

Select

the

route

that

will

provide

the straightest

and

most

direct

path

outdoors.

•

Plan the

installation

to

use the 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 the fewest

90 ° turns

possible.

Determine

vent

length

and

elbows

needed

for

best

drying

performance

•

Use the 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

specified

in the

Vent

system

chart.

Exhaust

systems

longer

than

those

specified

will:

•

Shorten

the

life of the

dryer.

•

Reduce

performance,

resulting

in longer

drying

times

and

increased

energy

usage.

The vent

system

chart

provides

venting

requirements

that

will

help

to

achieve

the

best

drying

performance.

Vent

system

chart

NOTE:

Side and

bottom
