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