Determine vent path

Select the route that will provide the straightest and most 
direct path outdoors. 

Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and 
turns. 

When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as 
possible. 

Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. 

Use the fewest 90° turns possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best 
drying performance

Use the following Vent system chart to determine type of vent 
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in 
the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those 
specified will:

Shorten the life of the dryer.

Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and 
increased energy usage.

The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will 
help to achieve the best drying performance. 

Vent system 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. To protect the floor, use a large, flat piece of cardboard from 

the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire bottom of 
the dryer. 

2. Slide the dryer on the cardboard until it is close to its final 

location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.

3. Using the coupling supplied with the dryer, connect the 

exhaust vent to the coupling and secure with a 4" (10.2 cm) 
vent clamp. See illustration below.

If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.

4. Turn the coupling and exhaust vent assembly 

counterclockwise in the exhaust hole on the back of the 
dryer.

5. Make sure the exhaust vent is placed inside the exhaust hood 

and then secured to the exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) 
vent clamp.

6. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.
