Duct tape

Installation Instructions

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)

SIDE VENTING (cont.)

ADDING ELBOW AND DUCT FOR EXHAUST TO LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE OF CABINET (cont.)

• Apply duct tape as shown on the joint between the dryer internal duct and the elbow, and also the joint between the elbow and the side duct.

CAUTION: Use

4" rigid metal ducting only inside the dryer. Internal duct joints must be secured with tape, otherwise they may separate and cause a safety hazard.

ADDING COVER PLATE TO REAR OF CABINET (SIDE EXHAUST)

Plate

(Kit WE1M454)

Connect standard metal elbows and ducts to complete the exhaust system. Cover back opening with a plate (Kit WE1M454) available from your local service provider. Place dryer in final location.

WARNING – NEVER LEAVE

THE BACK OPENING WITHOUT THE PLATE.

(Kit WE1M454)

BOTTOM VENTING:
