3
/
4
ft. (2.4 m).
The length of exible metal vent used must be included in
the overall vent system design as shown in the “Vent
System Chart.”
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from
entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood
is not plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents
with rigid metal or exible metal vents. Review “Vent System
Chart” and, if necessary, modify existing vent system to
achieve best drying performance.

CONNECT INLET HOSES
For non-steam models, skip to “Connect Vent.”
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using
the new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.
2. Connect vent to exhaust hood
Vent must t over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location
using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps
to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other
fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure
vent, because they can catch lint.

1. Install exhaust hood
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
Use the following “Vent System Chart” to determine the type
of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied
in the “Vent System Chart.” Exhaust systems longer than
those specied will:
Shorten life of dryer.
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
and increased energy usage.
NOTE: Bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn inside the
dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90° turn
to the chart.
Determine vent path:
Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
Plan installation to use 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 as few 90° turns as possible.
Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.
Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace
with new rubber washer.
