Installation
For best drying results, recommended maximum length of exhaust system is shown in Table 1.
To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation, outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers (obtain locally).
NOTE: Weather hood should be installed at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) above the ground. Larger clearances may be necessary for installations where heavy snowfall can occur.
