Install Vent System

1. Install exhaust hood. Use sealing 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 102 mm (4") clamp.
3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.
See "Vent Length Chart." Avoid 90º turns. Use 102 mm (4")
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 the vent, because they can catch lint.

Install Leveling Legs

1. Open dryer door and remove drying rack, if included. Wipe
drum with damp cloth to remove any dust.
2. Take two cardboard corners from the dryer carton and place
them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp body of the
dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.
3. Start to screw legs into holes by hand. Use an adjustable
wrench or 25 mm (1") hex-head socket wrench to finish
turning legs until you reach the ridge with the diamond
marking.

dryer carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard.
