r,'_ Do not use plastic flexible
duct to exhaust the dryer. Excessive lint can
build up inside the exhaust system and create
a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted
air flow will increase drying times, if your
present system is made up of plastic duct or
metal foil duct, re_lace it with a rigid or
flexible metal duct. Ensure the present duct
is free of any lint prior to installing laundry
center dryer duct.
_!_[[_ If the dryer is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lintwill be
expelled into the laundry area. An
accumulation of lint in any area of the home
can create a health and fire hazard. The
dryer exhaust system MUST be
exhausted to the outside of the
dwelling!
_v'__ Do not allow
combustible materials (for example:
clothing,draperies/curtains, paper) to come
in contact with the exhaust system. The dryer
MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney, a
wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a
building which can accumulate lint, resulting
in a fire hazard.
Do not exceed the
length of duct pipe or number of elbows
allowed in the" EXHAUST DUCT LENGTHS"
chart. Lint can accumulate in the system,
plugging the system and creating a fire
hazard, as well as increasing drying times.
Do not screen the
exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use
any screws or rivets to assemble the exhaust
_stem. Lint can become caught in the screen,
on the screws or rivets, clogging the exhaust
system and creating a fire hazard as well as
increasing drying times. Use an approved vent
hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and
seal all joints with duct tape. All male duct
pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream
with the flow of air.
Explosion hazard. Do
not install the laundry center where gasoline
or other flammables are kept or stored.If
the laundry center is installed in a garage, it
must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm)
above the floor. Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion, fire or burns.The exhaust
system back pressure MUST not exceed 0.6
inches (1.52 cm) of water column, measured
with an inclined manometer at the point
the exhaust connects to the dryer. The
exhaust system should be inspected and
cleaned a minimum of every two years with
normal usage. The more the dryer is used,
the more often you should check the
exhaust system and vent hood for proper
operation.
The Maximum Length of the exhaust
system depends upon the type of duct
used, number of elbows and type of
exhaust hood. The maximum length for
both rigid and flexible duct is shown in
chart.

Exhaust Systems longer than specified
will:
• Shorten the life of the dryer.
• Reduce the performance, such as
cause longer drying times and
increases the use of energy.
• Accumulate lint.
The Laundry Center may be exhausted
four (4) ways with rear flush installation:
1. Straight back.
2. Down (8" length of 4" rigid duct
and1 elbow down).
3. Left (8" length of 4" rigid duct, 1
elbow down and 1 elbow left).
4. Right (8" length of 4" rigid duct, 1
elbow down and 1 elbow right).
To exhaust up, add an 11 " length of
standard 4" diameter duct and a 90°
elbow. The unit will be positioned about
4-1/2" away from the wall (flush to wall
exhausting may be done by going below
the dryer then sideways.)
An exhaust hood positioned to line up
with the dryer exhaust can be installed
directly through the outside wall. To
exhaust to the side or down, add an 8
inch (20.32 cm) length of standard 4 inch
(10.16 cm) diameter duct and a90° elbow.
For Mobile Home Exhaust
Requirements see Page 6, Alternate
Exhaust Methods, for detailed
instructions.
Water supply and drain
requirements
Hot and Coldwater faucets within 4 feet
of back of the Laundry Center and
enough pressure (5-100 PSI) are
required.
Water Heater should be set to deliver
130°F. or above water to the washer for
best results.
Todrain the Laundry Center washer, you
need either a 20-gallon laundry tub or
1-1/4 inch diameter standpipe having a
minimum carry-away capacity of 16
gallons per minute. The minimum tub
or standpipe height is 33 inches from
the bottom of the washer. The maximum
tub or standpipe height is 96 inches
from the bottom of the washer. For
installations requiring a longer drain
hose, have a qualified technician install
a longer hose, P/N 131461201. For drain
systems in the floor, install a siphon break
kit, P/N 076660-000. Both components
are available from Sears Parts
Department.

From the back of the washer, remove
the wire shipping clips securing the
drain hose and power cord. Plastic
clamps secure the drain hose to the
right side of the washer backsheet.
These clamps form a standpipe to
prevent water siphoning. DO NOT
REMOVE THESE CLAMPS.
