inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add
one 90° turn to the chart.
The maximum length using a 51 mm x 152 mm (2"x 6")
rectangular vent with 2 elbows and a 64 mm (2-1/2") exhaust
hood is 2,4 m (8ft).
For exhaust systems not covered by the Vent System Chart (such
as multiple unit hookups, plenums, and power-assist fans), see

2.
Connect vent to exhaust hood
Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 102 mm (4") 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.
CONNECT VENT
1.
Connect vent to exhaust outlet
Using a 102 mm (4") clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure vent is
clean. Dryer vent must fit over dryer exhaust outlet and inside
exhaust hood. Check that vent is secured to exhaust hood
with a 102 mm (4") clamp.
2.
Move dryer to final location
Move dryer to final location. Avoid crushing or kinking vent.
After dryer is in place, remove corner posts and cardboard
from under the dryer.
