EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Remove any lint from the wall exhaust opening.

Opening
STANDARD REAR EXHAUST
We recommend that you install your dryer before
installing your washer. This will permit direct
access for easier exhaust connection.
Slide the end of the exhaust duct underneath the
clips on the back of the dryer and secure with duct
tape or a hose clamp.
Duct
NOTE: We strongly recommend using rigid metal
exhaust duct. If using semi-rigid metal duct, cut it
to the proper length and avoid bunching of the duct
behind the dryer.
• For straight-line installation, connect the dryer
exhaust to the wall using duct tape.
