Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best
for your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

N
mismatch):
Part Number 4396037 - 0" (0 mm) to 18" (460 mm) mismatch
Part Number 4396011 - 18" (460 mm) to 29" (737 mm)

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.
C
Determine vent path:
Select the route that will provide straightest and most direct
N
path outdoors.
Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and
N
turns.
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
N
as possible.
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
N
Avoid 90° turns when possible.
N
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
Use following Vent system chart to determine type of vent
N
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.
N
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
N
and increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will
help achieve best drying performance.
