INSTALL VENT SYSTEM

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
1. Position the dryer so that the rear of the dry-
er is within 4 ft (1.2 m) of its final location.
2. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking com-
pound to seal exterior wall opening around
exhaust hood.
3. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must
fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to ex-
haust hood with 4˝ (10.2 cm) clamp.
4. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straight-
est path possible. See "Determine vent path,"
page 2-17. 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.

MAKE GAS CONNECTION

1. Remove the red cap from the gas pipe.
Move the dryer close to its final location.
2. Using a wrench to tighten, connect the gas
supply to the dryer. Use pipe-joint com-
pound on the threads of all nonflared male
fittings. If flexible metal tubing is used, be
sure there are no kinks.
NOTE: For LP gas connections, you must use
pipe-joint compound resistant to the action of
LP gas. Do not use TEFLON
†® TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont
De Nemours and Company.
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.
