Alternate installations for close clearances

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.

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.

Over-The-Top installation (also available with one offset elbow)

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.

The "Vent System Chart" provides venting requirements that

will help achieve best drying performance.
