Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal 

exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

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.

The Vent System Chart provides venting requirements that 

will help achieve best drying performance.

Select route that will provide straightest and most direct  

 

■

path outdoors.

Plan installation to use 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 as few 90° turns as possible.

 

■

Use 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 Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those 

specified will:

Shorten life of dryer.

 

■

Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times  

 

■

and increased energy usage.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn 

inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 

90° turn to the chart.

To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard 

from dryer carton; place under entire back edge of dryer. 

Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay 

dryer down on cardboard.
