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.

Properly leveling your laundry center averts excessive noise and
vibration.
1. Check the levelness of the laundry center by placing a level
on the top edge of the washer, first side to side, then front to
back.

If the laundry center is not level, prop up the front with a
wood block and adjust the feet up or down as necessary.
Remove wood block and lower laundry center. Repeat this
step until the laundry center is level.
1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in
laundry center. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the
vent is clean. The vent must fit over the exhaust outlet and
inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured to
exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
2. Move laundry center into its final position. Do not crush or
kink vent. Make sure laundry center is level.
1. Check that all parts are now installed, If there is an extra part,
go back through the steps to see which step was skipped,
2. Check that you have all of your tools.

foam for use if the laundry center should be transported.
4. Check the laundry center's final location. Be sure the vent is
not crushed or kinked.
