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 90º 
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 vent, because they can catch lint.

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

from dryer carton. Place cardboard under entire back edge of 
dryer. 

2. Firmly grasp dryer body (not the console panel). Gently lay 

dryer on cardboard. See illustration.

3. Start to screw legs into holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish 

turning legs. They should stick out about 1" (25 mm).

4. Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each 

of the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the 
dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location. 
Leave enough room to connect the exhaust 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. 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.

2. Move dryer into its final location. Avoid crushing or kinking vent.

3. Once exhaust vent connection is made, remove corner posts 

and cardboard.

Check levelness of dryer. Check levelness first side to side, then 
front to back.

If dryer is not level, prop the dryer up using a wood block. Use a 
wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for 
levelness.

1. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, 

go back through the steps to see what was skipped.

2. Check that you have all of your tools.

3. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials. 

4. Check dryer’s final location. Be sure vent is not crushed or 

kinked. 

5. Check that dryer is on a level surface.

6. For power supply cord installation, plug into an outlet. For 

direct wire installation, turn on power.

7. Remove film on the console and any tape remaining on dryer. 

Remove tape from lint screen (located on inside back wall of 
dryer).

8. Read “Dryer Use.”

9. Wipe dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to 

remove any dust.
