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.

NOTE: Performance of rear exhaust to either side of the dryer is

equivalent to adding one elbow. To determine maximum exhaust

length, add one elbow to the chart.

Use two or more people to move and install dryer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. To avoid damaging 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 top or 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
