■■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.

■■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. ■■ Use as few 90° turns as possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance:

■■ Use 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 Vent system chart.

Exhaust systems longer than those specified will: ■■Shorten life of dryer.

■■Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.

The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help achieve best drying performance.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installation have a 90° turn inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add on 90° turn to the chart.

NOTE: If flexible transition vent is used, the length must be subtracted from the total exhaust length in the vent system chart.

(305 mm)

12" min. (305 mm)

Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

32. Connect vent to exhaust hood

Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure vent, because they can catch lint.

Connect Inlet Hose

The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.

33. Turn cold water off, remove and replace rubber washer

Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.

Check and see if rubber washer is in the “Y” connector. Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with new rubber washer provided.
