Installation guide

Determine Vent Length
I. Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to usethe fewest
number of elbows and turns. When using elbows or making
turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent graduallyto
avoid kinking. Avoid 90° turns.
2. Determine vent length.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:
• The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).
• The number of elbows used.
• Type of hood.
Recommended hood styles are shown hera.

The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood
type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
• Shorten the life of the dryer.
• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
Determine the number of elbows you will need.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than specified inthe Vent
Length Chart.
The following chart helps you determine your maximum vent
length based on the number of 90° turns or elbows you will
need and the type of vent (rigidor flexible metal) and hood
that you will use.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a g0° turn
inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one
g0° turn to the chart.
InstallVentSystem
1. (Optional) Put on safety glasses and gloves.
2. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
3. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4 in. (10.2 cm) clamp.
4. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.
See "Determine Vent Length." Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to
seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening
devices that extend intothe interior of the vent to secure vent.
InstaULeveUngLegs
1. To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from
the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire beck edge
of the dryer. See illustration.
2. Firmly gresp the body of the dryar (nct the top or console
panel). Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard.
3. Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.
4. Scraw the legs intothe leg holes by hand. Ues a wrench to
finish turning the legs untilthe diamond marking is no longer
visible.
