Install Vent System, Install Leveling Legs

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 following Vent system chart 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.

Vent system chart

NOTE: Performance of rear exhaust to either side of the dryer is equivalent to adding one elbow. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one elbow to the chart.

Install Vent System

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 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 Leveling Legs

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.

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

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 from dryer packaging 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.

For mobile home use

Gas dryers must be securely fastened to the floor.

Mobile home installations require a Mobile Home Installation Kit. See “Tools and Parts” section for information on ordering.
