Connecting vent
1. Remove the two screws securing the
dryer front access panel to the dryer
cabinet. Lift the panel until the tabs
can be disengaged from the cabinet,
remove the panel and set aside.

outside exhaust system. Use of a 4"
(10.2 cm) clamp is recommended to
connect the dryer to the exhaust vent
system. Use metal foil tape to seal all
other joints.
3. Reinstall the dryer front access panel.
4. Carefully slide the laundry center to
its final position. Recheck for level and
rock corners for stability.

Connecting drain and electrical
1. Form a "U" shape on the end of the
drain hose with the hose pointed
toward the drain. Place the formed
end in a laundry tub or a standpipe
and secure the drain hose with the
cable tie (provided in the enclosure
package) to the standpipe, inlet hose,
laundry tub, etc. so the hose does not
pull out from the force of the water.
Cable Tie
NOTE
The standpipe inside diameter must be
1-1/4" (3.2 cm) minimum. There must be
an air gap around the drain hose in the
standpipe. A snug hose fit can cause a
siphoning action.
