Special provisions for mobile home installations

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.

Determine vent path

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.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best

drying performance

Use the 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

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.

Vent system chart

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.

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 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

3. 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.

the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge

of the dryer.

2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer. Gently lay the dryer on the

cardboard. See illustration.
