Determine vent path
■ Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors.
■ Plan the installation to use the 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 the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance
■ Use the Vent system chart below to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in
the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specified will:
■
Shorten the life of the dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will
help to achieve the best drying performance.
Vent system chart
NOTE: Side exhaust installations adds a 90º turn inside the
laundry center. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one
90º turn to the chart.

Install Vent System

1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) 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.

Connect Vent

1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in
laundry center. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the
vent is clean. The vent must fit over the exhaust outlet and
inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured to
exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
2. Move laundry center to its final location. Do not crush or kink
vent. Make sure laundry center is level.

Level Laundry Center

Properly leveling your laundry center avoids excessive noise and
vibration.
1. Check the levelness of the laundry center by placing a level
on the top edge of the washer, first side to side, then front to
back.
2. If the laundry center is not level, prop up the front with the
wood block and adjust the feet up or down as necessary.
Remove wood block.
3. Tilt the laundry center forward until the rear of the laundry
center is at least 4" (10.2 cm) off the floor. You may hear the
self-adjusting rear feet click into place. Lower the laundry
center to the floor. Check the levelness of the laundry center
with a level as shown above.
If laundry center will not level, recheck rear leveling legs for
free movement as described in the "Install Leveling Legs"
section. Repeat until the laundry center is level.
NOTE: It may be necessary to level the laundry center again
after it is moved into its final location.
4. After the laundry center is in the final location and level, use
an adjustable or open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the
front feet tightly against the washer cabinet.
If the nuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the
laundry center may vibrate.
