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" (10.2 cm) clamp.
,3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. See "Determine vent path" in "Plan Vent System." Avoid 90 ° 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.
METHOD1
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.
1.if space permits, attach the brass female end of the "Y" connector to the cold water faucet.
2.Turn the cold water faucet off.
3.Attach the straight end of long hose to "Y'connector.
4.Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an additional two- thirds turn.
_Do | not overtighten, as it may damage the coupling. |
5.Attach angled end of long hoses to fill the valve at the
bottom of the dryer's rear frame. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on fill valve connector.
6.Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an additional two- thirds turn.
[_Do | not overtighten, as it may damage the coupling. |
7.Check that the water faucets are on.
8.Check for leaks around "Y" connector faucets and hoses.
