The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp.
3. 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 the vent, because they can catch lint.
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 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.

NOTE: Side exhaust installations add a 90 ° turn inside the dryer.
To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90 ° turn to the

Properly leveling your washer/dryer avoids excessive noise and
vibration.
1. Check the levelness of the washer/dryer
by placing a level
on the top edge of the washer, first side to side, then front
to back.
2. If the washer/dryer
is not level, prop up the front with the
wood block and adjust the feet up or down as necessary.
Remove wood block.

Tilt the washer/dryer forward until the rear of the washer/dryer
is at least 4" (102 mm) off the floor. You may hear the self-
adjusting rear feet click into place. Lower the washer/dryer
to
the floor. Check the levelness of the washer/dryer with a level
as shown above.
If washer/dryer will not level, recheck rear leveling legs for free
movement as described in the "Install Leveling Legs" section.
Repeat until the washer/dryer
is level.
NOTE: It may be necessary to level the washer/dryer
again
after it is moved into its final location.
After the washer/dryer is in its final location and is level, use an
adjustable or open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the front
feet tightly against the washer cabinet.
If the nuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the
washer/dryer may vibrate.
1. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in washer/dryer.
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" (102 mm) clamp.
2. Move washer/dryer
into its final location. Do not crush or kink
vent. Make sure washer/dryer
is level.
