may be in the path of the exhaust.
The vent system chart provides venting requirments
that will help to achieve the best drying performance.

NOTE:
Side and bottom exhaust installations have
a 90° turn inside the dryer. To determine maximum
exhaust length, add one 90° turn to the chart.
Recommended installation clearances (dryer only)
