Whirlpool 3406449 - Manual (Page 3)

Each exhaust vent should enter the
main vent at an angle pointing in the
direction of the airflow. Vents entering
from the opposite side should be
staggered to reduce the exhausted
air from interfering with the other
vents.
The maximum angle of each vent
entering the main vent should be no
more than 30°.
Keep air openings free of dry
cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create
acids which, when drawn through the
dryer heating units, can damage
dryers and loads being dried.
A ciean-out cover should be located
on the main exhaust vent for
periodically cleaning the exhaust
system.
An exhaust hood should cap the
outside end of the main vent to
prevent exhausted air from refurning
fo the dryers. If an exhausf hood
cannof be used, the outside end of
fhe main vent should have a sweep
elbow directed downward. If the
main vent travels vertically through
the roof, rather than through the wall,
install 180° sweep elbow on the end
of venf at least 2 feet above the
highest part of the building. The
opening wall or roof shall have a
diameter 1/2 inch larger than the
exhaust vent diameter. The exhaust
vent should be centered in the
opening.
