Install Vent System

1.(Optional) Put on safety glasses and gloves.

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 in. (10.2 cm) 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.

Install Leveling Legs

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dryer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1.To protect the floor, use a large, flat piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge of the dryer. See illustration.

2.Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the top or console panel).

Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard.

3.Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.

4.Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.

5.Place a carton corner post under each of the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.

6.Once connection is made and dryer is in final location, remove corner posts and cardboard.

Level Dryer

Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first side-to-side, then front-to-back.

If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for levelness.

NOTE: It might be necessary to level the dryer again after it is moved into its final position.

Connect Vent

1.Using a 4 in. (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4 in. (10.2 cm) clamp.

2.Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

3.(On gas models) Check to be sure there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.

Reverse Door Swing (Optional)

You can change your door swing from a right-side opening to a left-side opening, if desired.
