Install Vent System; Install Cord Bracket And Casters - Amana NEC3120FW Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Special provisions for mobile home installations:
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened 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: Do 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 requirements 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.
Install exhaust hood and 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. Run vent to dryer location.
Use the straightest path possible. See "Determine vent path"
in "Plan Vent System." 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.
