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 following Vent system chart to determine 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 will:
• 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 will
help to achieve the best drying performance.

Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
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.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer,
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. To avoid damaging floor, use a large, flat piece of cardboard
from dryer carton. Place cardboard under entire back edge
dryer.
2. Firmly grasp dryer body (not the top or console panel). Gently
lay dryer down on cardboard. See illustration.

Examine leveling legs, find diamond marking.
Screw legs into leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish
turning legs until diamond marking is no longer visible.
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.
1. 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
vent.
3. Once exhaust vent connection is made, remove corner posts
and cardboard.
