Venting Venting Requirements Exhaust hoods: ■■ Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object that may obstruct exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, bushes, or snow). Recommended Styles: Louvered hood Box hood Acceptable Style: WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS. IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space of a building.
PAGE 26
Plan Vent System Recommended exhaust installations Alternate installations for close clearances Typical installations vent the washer/dryer from the rear. Other installations are possible. Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for your installation. Three close-clearance installations are shown. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. D A E F B G C H A.
