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.

(33.5 m) 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 specified in "Vent System Chart." 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 Chart" provides venting requirements that will help achieve best drying performance. INSTALL VENT SYSTEM 1. Install exhaust hood 12" min. (305 mm) 12" min.

Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure vent, because they can catch lint. 19
