chart, see
your parts distributor.
Provision
must be made for enough
air for combustion
and
ventilation.
(Check
governing
codes and ordinances.)
See
"Recessed
Area and Closet Installation
Instructions"
in the
"Stacked
Washer/Gas
Dryer Location"
and "Stacked
Washer/
Electric
Dryer Location"
sections.
A 102 mm (4") outlet hood is preferred.
However,
a 64 mm
(21/2'') outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 64 mm (21/2'') outlet
creates greater
back pressure
than other hood types. For
permanent
installation,
a stationary
vent system
is required.
Connect Vent
1. If connecting
to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.
2. Using a 102 mm (4") clamp, connect
vent to exhaust
outlet in
dryer.
Vent Collar
4. Make sure the vent is secured
to exhaust
hood with a 102 mm
(4") clamp.
5. Move dryer into final position.
Do not crush or kink vent. Make
sure dryer is level.
NOTE: Do not remove vent collar.
