Plan Vent System
Recommended exhaust installations:
Typical installations vent the dryer from the rear of the dryer. Other
installations are possible.
A. Dryer
B. Elbow
C. Wall
D. Exhaust hood
E. Clamps
F. Rigid metal or flexible metal vent
G. Vent length necessary to connect
elbows
H. Exhaust outlet
I. Optional side exhaust outlet
Optional exhaust installations:
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Cover unused exhaust holes with a manufacturer’s
exhaust cover kit.
Contact your local dealer.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, electrical shock, or serious injury.
Some models can be converted to exhaust out the right side, left
side, or through the bottom. If you prefer, you may contact your
local dealer to have the dryer converted.
A. Standard rear offset exhaust installation
B. Left- or right-side exhaust installation (available only on
select 27"-wide models).
C. Bottom exhaust installation (available only on select 27"-
wide models).
Alternate installations for close clearances
Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for
your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown.
NOTE: The following kits for close-clearance alternate
installations are available for purchase. Refer to Quick Start Guide
for contact information.
Over-The-Top installation (also
available with one offset elbow)
Periscope installation
Special provisions for mobile home installations:
Exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home and must not terminate beneath the
mobile home. Terminate exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent path:
n Select route that will provide
straightest and most direct path
outdoors.
n Plan installation to use fewest
number of elbows and turns.
n When using elbows or making
turns, allow as much room as
possible.
n Bend vent gradually to avoid
kinking.
n Use as few 90° turns as
possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
n 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:
n Shorten life of dryer.
n 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.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn
inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one
90º turn to the chart.
