Determine vent path
• 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.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying
performance.
