exhaust hood

and closes freely.
STANDARD REAR EXHAUST
We recommend that you install your
dryer before installing your washer. This
will permit direct access for easier exhaust
connection.
Slide the end of the exhaust duct underneath
the clips on the back of the dryer and secure
with duct tape or a hose clamp.

NOTE: We strongly recommend using rigid
metal exhaust duct.
• For straight-line installation, connect the
dryer exhaust to the wall using duct tape.
RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION
TO MINIMIZE EXHAUST BLOCKAGE
Using duct elbows will prevent duct kinking
and collapsing.
DRYER EXHAUST TO SIDE OR
BOTTOM OF CABINET
If you wish to exhaust your dryer to the side
or bottom of the cabinet, order exhaust kit
