■Periscope Installation (for use with dryer vent to wall vent mismatch):
Part Number 4396037 - for mismatch of 0" (0 mm) to 18" (457 mm)
Part Number 4396011 - for mismatch of 18" (457 mm) to 29" (737 mm)
Part Number 4396014 - for mismatch of 29" (737 mm) to 50" (1.27 m)
Special provisions for mobile home installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
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 Vent system chart below 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.

Install Vent System
1.Before installing the vent system, be sure to remove the wire exhaust guard that is located at the exhaust outlet.
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" (102 mm) 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, because they can catch lint.
Install Cord Bracket and Casters
Do not move dryer into its final location until the following steps have been performed.
Install cord bracket
1.Remove tape from power cord and rear panel.
