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
p
erformance.
Vent system chart
NOTE: Performance of rear exhaust to either side of the dryer is equivalent to adding one
elbow. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one elbow to the chart.
NOTE: Bott
om exhaust performance is equivalent to adding two elbows. To determine
maximum exhaust length, add one elbow to the chart.

Install Vent System
1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior wall opening around
exhaust hood.
2. Conn
ect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
3. Run v
ent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. See “Determine vent path” in
“Plan Vent System.” Avoid 90º 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.
Install Leveling Legs
WARNING
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 protect the floor, use a large, flat piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Place
cardboard under the entire back edge of the dryer.
2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the top or console panel). Gently lay the dryer on
the cardboard. See illustration.
3. Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.
4. Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until the
diamond marking is no longer visible.
5. 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.
Connect Vent
1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to
existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust
outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a
4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.
3. (On gas models) Check that there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.
4. Once the exhaust v
ent connection is made, remove the corner posts and cardboard.
