Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet  

in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure vent is 

clean. Dryer vent must fit over dryer exhaust outlet and inside 

exhaust hood. Check that vent is secured to exhaust hood 

with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.

Move dryer to final location. Avoid crushing or kinking vent. 

After dryer is in place, remove corner posts and cardboard 

from under the dryer.

Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust 

hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location 

using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps 

to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other 

fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure 

vent, because they can catch lint.

Remove red cap from gas pipe. Using a wrench to tighten, 

connect gas supply to dryer. Use pipe-joint compound  

on threads of all non-flared male fittings. 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 action of LP gas. Do not use
