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.
