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.
noTE: Side and bottom exhaust installation have a 90° turn
inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add on
90° turn to the chart.
noTE: If flexible transition vent is used, the length must be
subtracted from the total exhaust length in the vent system chart.
