To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from
dryer carton; place under entire back edge of dryer. Firmly grasp
dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay dryer down
on cardboard.
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
Vent must fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location using
straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to seal
all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening
devices that extend into interior of vent to secure vent, which
can catch lint.
Determine vent path:
Determine vent length and elbows needed:
