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 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.
