Install exhaust hood
1.
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
The Vent System Chart provides venting requirements that
will help achieve best drying performance.
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:
Bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn inside the
dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90° turn
to the chart.
