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

NOTE:

Performance

of

rear exhaust

to either

side

of the

dryer

is equiw_lent

to adding

one

elbow.

To determine

maximum

exhaust

length,

add

one

elbow

to the

chart.
