Special provisions for mobile home installations
The exhaust vent must be securely f
astened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent path
■ 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.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance
■ Use the Vent system chart below to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: D
o 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 r
equirements that will help
to achieve the best drying performance.

Install Vent System
1. Before installing the vent system, be sure to remove the wire
exhaust guard that is located at the exhaust outlet.
2. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior wall
opening around exhaust hood.
3. Connect
vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust hood.
Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp.
4. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. See
“Determine vent length.” Avoid 90º turns. Use clamps to seal all
joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening devices
that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent, because
they can catch lint.
Install Cord Bracket and Casters
Do not move dryer into its final location until the following steps have
been performed.
Install cord bracket
1. Remove tape from power cord and rear panel.
