■

Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Typical installations vent the dryer from the rear of the dryer.

Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best 

 

for your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown. 
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. 

NOTE: The following kits for close clearance alternate 
installations are available for purchase. For information on 
ordering, see “Assistance or Service.”

■

Over-the-Top Installation: 

Part Number 4396028

■

Periscope Installation (for use with dryer vent to wall vent 
mismatch):

Part Number 4396037 - for mismatch of 0" (0 mm) to 

 

18" (457 mm)

Part Number 4396011 - for mismatch of 18" (457 mm) to 
29" (737 mm)

Part Number 4396014 - for mismatch of 29" (737 mm) to 
50" (1.27 m)

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.

■

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.

■

Use the Vent system chart below 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.
