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

InstallVentSystem
1.Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
2.Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp.
3.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 the vent, because they can catch lint.
LevelWasher/Dryer
Properly leveling your washer/dryer avoids excessive noise and vibration.
1.Check the levelness of the washer/dryer by placing a level on the top edge of the washer, first side to side, then front to back.
2.If the washer/dryer is not level, prop up the front with a wood block and adjust the feet up or down as necessary. Remove wood block and lower washer/dryer. Repeat this step until the washer/dryer is level.
MakeGasConnection
1.Remove the red cap from the flexible gas connector.
2.Remove the ½" NPT adapter from the flexible gas connector (it will be necessary to use two adjustable wrenches).
3.Install the adapter on the ½" rigid gas supply pipe using pipe- joint compound.

There should be a natural loop in the flexible gas connector. The flexible gas connector must not be twisted, kinked, or attached with any sharp bends.
5.All connections must be wrench tightened.
6.Open the shutoff valve in the supply. The valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.

ConnectVent
1.Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in washer/dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The vent must fit over the exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.
2.Move washer/dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure washer/dryer is level.
3.Check that there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.
