1. Install exhaust hood.
12" min.
(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 inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location.
Use the straightest path possible. See “Determine vent path”
in “Plan Vent System.” Avoid 90° 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,
because they can catch lint.
Install Leveling Legs
1. To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard
from dryer carton. Place cardboard under entire back edge of
the dryer.
2. Firmly grasp dryer body and gently lay dryer on cardboard.
See illustration.
3. Start to screw legs into holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish
turning legs. They should stick out about 1" (25 mm).
4. Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging 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.
Connect Vent
1. Connect vent to exhaust outlet.
Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is
clean. Dryer vent must fit over dryer exhaust outlet and inside
exhaust hood. Check that vent is secured to exhaust hood
with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.
2. Move dryer into its final location. Avoid crushing or kinking
the vent.
3. Once exhaust vent connection is made, remove corner posts
and cardboard.
