Amana NED5800DW Quick Setup Guide

The “Vent System Charts” provide venting requirements that  

will help achieve best drying performance.

Exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible 

portion of mobile home and must not terminate beneath the 

mobile home. Terminate exhaust vent outside. 

 

■

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.

 

■

Use the following “Vent System Charts” 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 Charts.”
Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:

 

■

Shorten life of dryer.

 

■

Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times  

and increased energy usage.

NOTE: For long vent systems, use of box/louvered hoods will 

improve venting regardless of length.
