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.
Vent

chart
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.

Install exhaust
hood.
Use caulking
compound
to seal exterior
wall opening
around
exhaust
hood.
Connect
vent to exhaust
hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood.
Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
Run vent to dryer location.
Use the straightest
path possible.
See "Determine
vent path" in
"Plan Vent System."
Avoid
90 ° 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.
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 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 the corner
posts until it is close to its final location.
I.eave enough
room to connect
the exhaust
vent or gas line.
For mobile
home
use
Gas dryers must be securely
fastened
to the floor.
Mobile
home installations
require a Mobile
Home Installation
Kit. See "Tools
and Parts"
section
for information
on ordering.
