Alternate installations for close clearances
Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for
your installation. One close-clearance installation is shown. Refer
to the manufacturer's instructions. Refer to Vent system chart 2
for vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance.
Over-the-top installation (also available with one offset elbow)
NOTE: The following kit for close clearance alternate installations
is available for purchase. Please see the "Assistance or Service"
section of this manual to order.
• Over-the-Top Installation:
Part Number 4396028
Special provisions for mobile home installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
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 one of 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
the Vent system charts. 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 charts provide venting requirements that will
help to achieve the best drying performance.
