NOTE:
Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn
inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one
90º turn to the chart.

Install Vent System
1.
Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
2.
Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
3.
Run vent 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.
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 vent connection is made, remove the
corner posts and cardboard.
Connecting the Inlet Hose
METHOD1
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the
new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.
1.
If space permits, attach the brass female end of the “Y”
connector to the cold water faucet.
2.
Turn the cold water faucet off.
3.
Attach the straight end of long hose to “Y’ connector.
4.
Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an additional two-thirds
turn.
Do not overtighten, as it may damage the coupling.
5.
Attach angled end of long hoses to fill the valve at the
bottom of the dryer’s rear frame. Screw on coupling by hand
until it is seated on fill valve connector.
6.
Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an additional two-thirds
turn.
Do not overtighten, as it may damage the coupling.
7.
Check that the water faucets are on.
8.
Check for leaks around “Y” connector, faucets and hoses.
