was previously exhausted from the right or left side, it can be
converted to rear exhaust by using standard offset connections.
To cover the hole in the side, the following plug can be added:

Follow the instructions in the kit to install. The kit is available
from the dealer from whom you purchased your washer/dryer.

Special provisions for mobile home installations:
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent path:
■ Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
■ Plan installation to use 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 as few 90° turns as possible.
