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.

Install Leveling Legs

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Place
cardboard under the entire back edge of the dryer.
2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the console panel). Gently lay the dryer on the
cardboard. See illustration.
3. Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.
4. Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until the
diamond marking is no longer visible.
5. Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each of the 2 dryer back corners.
Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location.
Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.
