19 INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
1
Make sure the surface of the washer is clean
and dry. Remove paper backing from the tape
on one of the stacking kit side brackets.
2
Fit the side bracket to the side of the washer
top as shown. Firmly press the adhesive area
of the bracket to the washer surface. Secure
the side bracket to the washer with a screw on
the back side of the bracket. Repeat steps 1
and 2 to attach the other side bracket.
3
Place the appliance on top of the washer,
fitting the dryer feet into the side brackets as
illustrated. Avoid finger injuries; do not allow
fingers to be pinched between the washer
and the appliance. Slowly slide the appliance
toward the back of the washer until the side
bracket stoppers catch the dryer feet.
4
Insert the front rail between the bottom of
the appliance and the top of the washer. Push
the front rail toward the back of the washer
until it comes in contact with the side rail
stoppers. Install the two remaining screws to
secure the front rail to the side rails.
Venting the Dryer
WARNING
• Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.
• To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or
accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT
exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and
unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling,
crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed
space of a building.
• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the
dryer with plastic or thin foil ducting.
• Do not exceed the recommended duct length
limitations noted in the chart. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in extended drying
times, fire or death.
• Do not crush or collapse ductwork.
• Do not allow ductwork to rest on or contact
sharp objects.
• If connecting to existing ductwork, make sure it
is suitable and clean before installing the dryer.
• Venting must conform to local building codes.
• Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid, semi-rigid or
flexible metal ductwork inside the dryer cabinet
and for venting outside.
• The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to
clean any old ducts before installing the new
dryer.
• Rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ducting is
recommended for use between the dryer and
the wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct must
be UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition
duct could affect drying time.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other
fasteners which extend into the duct that could
catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the
exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. You
should obtain the necessary ductwork locally.
The vent hood should have hinged dampers to
prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use.
• The total length of flexible metal duct must not
exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m).
