• Do not exhaust the dryer into any gas vent, chimney, wall,
ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
• Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or
floors.
• Do not use screws or other fastening devices that extend into
the interior of the vent to secure vent.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when
the laundry center is in its final position. Remove excess flexible
metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in
reduced airflow.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and
insects from entering the home.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12 in. (30.5 cm) from the ground or
any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks or bushes, etc.).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or
flexible metal vent.
Use duct tape to seal all joints.
To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the
shipping carton. Gently place the laundry center on its side, on
the cardboard.

braces in the front corners. Use wrench to finish turning the

paper, carpets, etc.
