For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart, see
your parts distributor.
Provision must be made for enough air for combustion and
ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See
"Recessed Area Installation Instructions" in the "Stacked Washer/
Gas Dryer Location" and "Stacked Washer/Electric Dryer
Location" sections.
A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 21/2'' (64 mm)
outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 21/2'' (64 mm) outlet creates
greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent
installation, a stationary vent system is required.
Connect Vent
1. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.
2. Using a 4" (102 ram) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in
dryer.
