See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.

Exhaust systems longer than specified will:

Shorten the life of the dryer.

Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.

3.Determine the number of elbows you will need.

IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent Length Chart.

The following chart helps you determine your maximum vent length based on the number of 90° turns or elbows you will need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood that you will use.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90º turn to the chart.

Install VentSystem

1.(Optional) Put on safety glasses and gloves.

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" (10.2 cm) 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.

Install LevelingLegs

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dryer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1.To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge of the dryer. See illustration.

2.Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the console panel). Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard.

3.Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.

4.Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.

5.Place a carton corner post under each of the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent or gas line.

6.Once connection is made and dryer is in final location, remove corner posts and cardboard.
