supported when the dryer is in its final position.
Remove excess flexible vent to avoid sagging and
kinking that may result in reduced air flow.
An exhaust hood should cap
the exhaust vent to prevent
rodents and insects from entering
the home.
Exhaust outlet hood must be at
least 12 inches from the ground or
any object that may be in the path
of the exhaust (such as flowers,
rocks or bushes, etc.).

and most direct path outdoors. Plan the installation
to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
When using eBbows or making turns, allow as much
room as possible, Bend vent gradually to avoid
kinking,
Determine exhaust vent Jength
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends
upon:
the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal).
the number of elbows used.
• side or bottom exhaust. Side or bottom exhaust
adds a 90 ° turn inside the dryer, To determine
maximum exhaust length, add one 90 ° turn to the
chart.

your type hood for the maximum vent lengths you
can use,

3.
Do not use vent runs longer than specified in
exhaust vent length charts.
Exhaust systems Ionger than specified will:
-- accumulate lint creating a potential fire
hazard.
-- shorten the Iife of the dryer.
-- reduce performance, resulting in Ionger
drying times and increased energy usage.
Determine the number of elbows you will need.
In the column listing the type of metal vent you are
using (rigid or flexible), find the maximum length
of metal vent on the same line as the number of
elbows.
