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.

The "Vent System Chart" provides venting requirements that

will help achieve best drying performance.

Rigid metal 64 ft. (20 m) 58 ft. (17.7 m)

Rigid metal 54 ft. (16.5 m) 48 ft. (14.6 m)

Rigid metal 44 ft. (13.4 m) 38 ft. (11.6 m)

3 Rigid metal 35 ft. (10.7 m) 29 ft. (8.8 m)

4 Rigid metal 27 ft. (8.2 m) 21 ft. (6.4 m)

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.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations for 27" wide

models have a 90° turn inside the dryer. To determine

maximum exhaust length, add one 90°turn to the chart.

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.
