Exhaust
Isl
Use rigid or semi-rigid duct and exhaust the dryer to the outside by the shortest
route possible. Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.
• Dryer exhaust duct must be secured to the mobile home structure. Dryer
exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under the mobile home.
• Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other duct, vent or chimney.
• Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer (obtain locally). Do not use
plastic or thin foil flexible ducting.
• Static pressure in the dryer’s exhaust duct should be no greater than .6 inches
(1.5 cm). Check with dryer running and no load. This can be measured with a
manometer placed on the exhaust duct approximately two feet (61 cm) from
the dryer.
For the best exhaust system
• Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.
• Verify old ducts are cleaned before installing new dryer.
• Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible metal duct.
• Use as few elbows as possible.
• Use duct tape on all joints.
