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 90° 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.

Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each of the 2 dryer back corners.
Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location.
Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.
Using a 4" (1 0.2 cm) 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" (1 0.2 cm) clamp.
4. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the corner posts and cardboard.
