Moblie Home Exhaust installation

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.

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 provide venting requirements that will help achieve best drying performance.
