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 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.

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