Using 4-inch flexible heavy metal vent:

NOTE: Do not secure exhaust vent

joints with screws. Screws can catch lint

and slow the drying process. Instead,

use clamps to secure exhaust vent joints.

STEP 1. Install a 4-inch metal elbow

on the exhaust hood and, if necessary,

on the laundry center’s exhaust outlet.

STEP 2. Measure the length of 4-inch

flexible heavy metal vent needed from

the laundry center to the hood.

STEP 3. Add 10 inches to the measure

ment for each bend in the vent.

STEP 4. Add 3 more inches to the

measurement for connection over the

laundry center’s exhaust outlet and

hood.

STEP 5. Place a clamp on each end of

vent elbow. Install one end of elbow on

vent, the other end to the exhaust hood.

Tape joints and tighten clamps.

STEP 6. Stretch the vent only as

needed by pulling out from the center

in each direction. Do not stretch vent

sections over 6 feet. If distance is more

than 6 feet, use 2 or more sections of

rigid metal vent with flexible metal vent

attached at ends.

STEP 7. Connect the vent directly to the

laundry center’s exhaust outlet or to a

separate elbow. Tape the joints with duct

tape. Secu re with clamps.

STEP 8. To fit the vent over the duct on

the hood it miay be necessary to make

two V2-inch cuts in the end of the vent to

allow it to expand.

NOTE: Once the exhaust vent is con

nected and the laundry center is in its

final location, check to make sure the

laundry center is still level (see section

“H;’ level laundry center), when

laundry center is level, use a "Ae-inch

open-end wrench to turn the front leg

nuts tightly against laundry center cabinet.

If the leg nuts are not tight against the

cabinet, the laundry center may vibrate.

Finish Installation. See “REVIEW

INSTALLATION ” on page 37.
