Determine vent path
[] Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors.
[] Plan the installation to use the 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 the fewest 90 ° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed
for best drying performance
[] Use the Vent system chart below to determine the type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE= Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the
Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those specified
wilh
[] Shorten the life of the dryer.
[] Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that wJJJ
help to achieve the best drying performance.
Vent System Chart
Side exhaust installations add a 90 ° turn inside the
Laundry Center. To determine maximum exhaust length, add
one 90 ° turn to the chart.

INSTALL VENT SYSTEM
]. install exhaust hood
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 the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location using
straightest path possible. See "Determine vent path" Jn "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 interior of vent to secure vent, because they can
catch lint.
CONNECT VENT
. Connect vent to exhaust outlet
Connecting from front
(for closet or recessed area)
Connecting
from rear
Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in
Laundry Center. 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 Laundry Center to final location
