3.8 Installation steps
STEP 1 Choose the proper location
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for the installation. Consider installing the dryer and
washer side-by-side, to allow access to the gas, electrical, and exhaust connections. Place two
of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it lies across both
cushion-tops.
2. Set your dryer back in an upright position.
STEP 2 Install the exhaust system
1. Review the “Exhausting requirements” section before installing the exhaust system.
2. Install the ductwork from your dryer to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections
must point away from your dryer.
3. DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling the ducting.
4. These joints should be taped.
5. Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.
6. Tip for tight installations: install a section of the exhaust system onto your dryer before putting it
in place.
7. Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover the ventilation slots at the
back of the unit in dryer cabinet.
