Vent System Length
1. 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. Avoid making 90° turns. When
using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as
possible. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Exhaust Air Flow
A. Better
B. Good
2. Determine vent length.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:
The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).
The number of elbows used.
Type of hood.
Recommended hood styles
are shown here.
A
10 cm (4")
10 cm (4")
A. Box hood style
B. Louvered hood style
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type
for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
Shorten the life of the dryer.
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
Install Vent System
1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 10 cm (4") clamp.
3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.
See "Vent System Length." Avoid 90º turns. Use 10 cm (4")
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.

3. Determine the number of elbows needed.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent
Length Chart.
The following chart helps you determine your maximum vent
length based on the number of 90° turns or elbows you will
need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood
that you will use.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn
inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one
90º turn to the chart.
The maximum length using a 5,1 cm x 15,2 cm (2" x 6")
rectangular vent with 2 elbows and a 6,4 cm (2-1/2") exhaust
hood is 2,4 m (8 ft.).
For exhaust systems not covered by exhaust vent length charts
(such as multiple unit hookups, plenums, and power-assist fans),
see Service Manual, Part No. 603197. (To purchase the Service
Manual, contact your local authorised service company).
1. Open dryer door and remove drying rack, if included. Wipe
