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 Charts" 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 Charts." 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 Charts" provide venting requirements that
will help achieve best drying performance.

Install exhaust hood
12" rain.
(305 ram)
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound
to seal

2,
Connect
vent to exhaust
hood
Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location
using straightest
path possible. Avoid 90 ° turns. Use clamps
to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other
fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure
vent, because they can catch lint.
