STANDARD REAR EXHAUST

We recommend that you install your dryer before installing your washer. This will permit direct access for easier exhaust connection.

Slide the end of the exhaust duct on the back of the dryer and secure with duct tape or a hose clamp.

RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION TO MINIMIZE EXHAUST BLOCKAGE

Using duct elbows will prevent duct kinking and collapsing.

NOTE: We strongly recommend using rigid metal exhaust duct. If using semi-rigid metal duct, cut it to the proper length and avoid bunching of the duct behind the dryer.

For straight-line installation, connect the dryer exhaust to the wall, using duct tape.
