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.
Connect Inlet Hose
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
