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. Position the dryer so that the rear of the dryer is within 4 ft
(1.2 m) of its final location.
2. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
3. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
4. 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.

Remove the blue cap from the gas pipe. Move the dryer close
to its final location.
Using a wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the
dryer. Use pipe-joint
compound on all non-flared male
threads. If flexible metal tubing is used, be sure there are no
kinks.
NOTE: For LP gas connections,
you must use pipe-joint
compound
resistant to the action of LP gas. Do not use
TEFLON _ttape.
A combination
of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
dryer to the existing gas line. Shown following is a
recommended
connection.
Your connection may be different,
according to the supply line type, size and location.
