Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying
performance
•
Use the Vent system chart below 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.

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

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 90°
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.
Properly leveling your washer/dryer avoids excessive noise and
vibration.
1. Check the levelness of the washer/dryer
by placing a level on
the top edge of the washer, first side to side, then front to
back.

If the washer/dryer
is not level, prop up the front with the
wood block and adjust the feet up or down as necessary.
Remove wood block.
Tilt the washer/dryer forward until the rear of the washer/dryer
is at least 4" (10.2 cm) off the floor. You may hear the self-
adjusting rear feet click into place. Lower the washer/dryer to
the floor. Check the levelness of the washer/dryer with a level
as shown above.
If washer/dryer will not level, recheck rear leveling legs for free
movement as described in the "Install Leveling Legs" section.
Repeat until the washer/dryer
is level.
NOTE: It may be necessary to level the washer/dryer
again
after it is moved into its final location.
After the washer/dryer
is in its final location and is level, use an
adjustable or open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the front
feet tightly against the washer cabinet.
If the nuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the
washer/dryer
may vibrate.
Remove the red cap from the flexible gas connector.
Remove the r/2" NPT adapter from the flexible gas connector.
(it will be necessary to use two adjustable wrenches).
Install the adapter on the 1/2"rigid gas supply pipe using pipe-
joint compound.
