Moblie Home Exhaust installation

For non-steam models, skip to “Connect Vent.”

The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using  

the new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.

Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust 

hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location 

using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps 

to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other 

fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure 

vent, because they can catch lint.

Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal 

exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

 

■

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.

NOTE: Bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn inside the 

dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90° turn 

to the charts.
