Amana W10216187A User Manual

A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the 
dryer to the existing gas line. Shown is a recommended 
connection. Your connection may be different, according to 
the supply line type, size, and location.

3. Open the shutoff valve in the supply line. The valve is open 

when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.

4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved 

noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a 
leak. Correct any leak found.

Connect Vent

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

 

in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is 
clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet 
and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured 
to exhaust hood with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.

2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.

3. (On gas models) Check that there are no kinks in the flexible 

gas line.

4. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the 

corner posts and cardboard.
