Alternate installations for close clearances
Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for
your installation. A close-clearance installation is shown below.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Over-the-Top Installation Kit Part Number 4396028 for close
clearance alternate installation is available for purchase. For
ordering information see “Assistance or Service.”
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
Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors.
Plan the installation to use the 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 the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance
Use the 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
the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specified will:
Shorten the life of the dryer.
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will
help to achieve the best drying performance.

Install Vent System
1.
Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
2.
Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp.
3.
Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.
See “Determine vent path” in “Plan Vent System.” Avoid 90º
turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape,
screws, or other fastening devices that extend into the interior
of the vent to secure vent.
Connect Vent
1.
To protect the floor, use a large, flat piece of cardboard from
the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire bottom of
the dryer.
2.
Slide the dryer on the cardboard until it is close to its final
location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.
3.
Using the coupling supplied with the dryer, connect the
exhaust vent to the coupling and secure with a 4" (102 mm)
vent clamp. See illustration below.
If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.
