The “Vent System Charts” provide venting requirements that  
will help achieve best drying performance.
NOTE: Bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn inside the 
dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90º turn  
to the chart.
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 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.
INSTALL VENT SYSTEM
1. 
Install exhaust hood

(305 mm)
12" min.
(305 mm)
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal 
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
2. 
Connect vent to exhaust hood
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.
