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.

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,
because they can catch lint.

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 specied
in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specied 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.
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.
CONNECT INLET HOSES
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.
Turn cold water faucet o and remove washer inlet hose.
Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace
with new rubber washer.
Turn cold water o, remove and
replace rubber washer
