VENTING
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:
m Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
m Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
m When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
as possible.
m Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
m Use as few 90° turns as possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
m 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:
m Shorten life of dryer.
m 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.

open. Place clamp over the straight end of the drain hose
1/4" (6.4 mm) from the end.
Attach drain hose to drain connector
Place drain hose in standpipe
Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of
laundry tub.
IMPORTANT: 4.5" (114 mm) of drain hose should be inside
standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay on
bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used.
Remove drain hose form
(floor drain installations only)
I
For floor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain
hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need
additional parts with separate directions. See "Tools and Parts."
