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.

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.

Use the following Vent system chart to determine type of vent material12345and hood combinations acceptable to use.

Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:

Shorten the life of the dryer.

Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.

The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying performance.

Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn

inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90º turn to the chart.

Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust

￿￿hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. See ?Determine vent path? in ?Plan Vent System.? Avoid 90º turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent.

To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge

￿￿of the dryer.

Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the console panel). Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard. See illustration.
