2. Connect vent to exhaust hood

Vent must  t 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,

1. Install exhaust hood

Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal

exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

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 speci ed

in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those

speci ed will:

■ Shorten life of dryer.

■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times

and increased energy usage.

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.
