Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
Use 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
“Vent System Chart.” Exhaust systems longer than those
specified will:
Shorten life of dryer.
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that will
help achieve best drying performance.

12" minimum
(305 mm)
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
3. 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 Vent (Vented Models Only)
1. Connect vent to exhaust outlet
Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in
dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure 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 to final location
Move dryer to final location. Avoid crushing or kinking the
vent.
Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove corner
posts and cardboard from under dryer.
Level Dryer
1. Check levelness of dryer
Check levelness of dryer from side to side then from front to
back.
