Determine vent path:

■■ Select route that will provide straightest and most direct path outdoors.

■■ Plan installation to use 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 as few 90° turns as possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance:

■■ Use the following “Vent System Charts” 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 Charts.” 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 Charts” provide venting requirements that will help achieve best drying performance.

(305 mm)

12" min. (305 mm)

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

2. 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.

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

1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs

To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from dryer carton; place under entire back edge of dryer. Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay dryer down on cardboard.
