Amana W10150612A installation instructions Plan Vent System, Determine vent path

Page 12

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and insects from entering the home.

Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc.).

Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect indoors, which may result in:

Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpets, etc.

Housecleaning problems and health problems.

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.

AB

A.Over-the-top installation (also available with one offset elbow)

B.Periscope installation

NOTE: The following kits for close clearance alternate installations are available for purchase. Please see the “Assistance or Service” section of the Dryer User Instructions.

Over-the-Top Installation: Part Number 4396028

Periscope Installation (For use with dryer vent to wall vent mismatch):

Part Number 4396037 - 0" (0 cm) to 18" (45.72 cm) mismatch

Part Number 4396011 - 18" (45.72 cm) to 29" (73.66 cm) mismatch

Part Number 4396014 - 29" (73.66 cm) to 50" (127 cm) mismatch

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.

Determine vent path

Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.

Plan the installation to use the 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 the fewest 90° turns possible.
