Exhausting the dryer outslde is
recommended. A closet installation must be exhausted outside. Recessed installation that is not exhausted outside must use Exhaust Deflector Kit Part No. 694609, available from your authorized parts distributor. See “Recessed and closet installation instructions,” Panel E. for unobstructed air opening requirements.
If the washer/dryer Is Installed In a conflned area such as a bedroom, bathroom or closet, it must be exhausted to the outside and provision must be made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. Check governing codes and ordinances. Also refer to the “Recessed and closet installation instructions” on Panel E.

Metal rlexlble duct must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE DUCT.
The metal flexible duct must be completely open to allow adequate exhaust alr to flow.
Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend duct gradually to avoid kinking. Remove excess flexible duct to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced air flow.
The exhaust duct can be routed up, down, left, right or straight out the back of the washer/dryer. Space requirements are provided on Panel E and on the rear panel of the washer/dryer.
Maxlmum length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct used, number of elbows and the type of exhaust hood. The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in the chart.

nWith one of the front legs in hand, check the ridges
fo;a diamond marking. - That’s how far the leg is supposed to go into the hole. Start to screw the legs into the holes in the front corners by han
Jse a wrench or 2.5 cm (1 in) socket wrench !o finish turning the legs until you reach the diamond mark.
