•
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.
[he Vent system chart provides
venting
requirements
that will help to achieve
the best drying
performance.
