•
Tape the elbow

While holding down
the pipe and elbow, using
your hand through the rear

″
hole
through the bottom tab
hole and the pipe as
shown in the illustration.
NOTE:
Make sure the hole is drilled all the way
through the elbow and pipe.
CAUTION:
Be sure not to pull
or damage the electrical wires inside the dryer
when inserting the duct.
•
While still holding down
the pipe and elbow from
the rear opening, screw
the pipes in place with
the previously saved screw.
•
Apply duct tape
as shown on the joint
between the dryer internal
duct and the elbow.
