Install Vent System
1. 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 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 Hoses
For vented, non-steam models, skip to “Connect Vent.”
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.
1. Turn cold water off, remove and replace rubber
washer
Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.
Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with
new rubber washer.
2. Attach short hose and “Y” connector
Attach 2 ft. (0.6 m) inlet hose to cold water faucet. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on faucet. Then attach “Y”
connector to male end of the 2 ft. (0.6 m) inlet hose. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on connector.
3. Tighten couplings
Using pliers, tighten the couplings with additional two-thirds
turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can
result.
4. Attach long hose to “Y” connector and tighten
couplings
Attach one of the 5 ft. (1.5 m) inlet hose ends to the “Y”
connector. Attach washer cold inlet hose to other side of “Y”
connector. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on
connector. Using pliers, tighten the couplings an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can
result.
