Recommended exhaust installations

Typical installations vent the dryer from the rear of the washer/
dryer. Other installations are possible.

Optional exhaust installations 

This washer/dryer can be converted to exhaust out the right or left 
side. To convert the washer/dryer, use Side Exhaust Kit

exhausted from the right or left side, it can be converted to rear 
exhaust by using standard offset connections. To cover the hole in 
the side, one of the following plugs can be added:

692790 (white)
3977784 (biscuit)
Follow the instructions in the kit to install. Kits are available from 
the dealer from whom you purchased your washer/dryer.
