Connect 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. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet
and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured
to exhaust hood with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.

2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.

3. (On gas models) Check that there are no kinks in the flexible

gas line.

4. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the

corner posts and cardboard.

Level Dryer

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

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

for levelness.
