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 Charts provides venting requirements that will
help achieve best drying performance.
NOTE:
Bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn inside the
dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90° turn to
the charts.
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.
