CONNECTIONS
Using 4-inch rigid heavy metai 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 hood and on the laundry center’s
exhaust outlet.
STEP 2. Measure the length of 4-inch
rigid heavy metai vent needed to connect
the two elbows.
The vent usually comes in 2-foot lengths.
Use tin snips to cut the vent 3 inches
longer than your measurement in order
to make a connection.
STEP 3. Place a clamp on each end of
vent elbow and connect elbow to your
laundry center’s exhaust outlet. Tape the
joint with duct tape. Tighten clamp.
STEiP 4. Connect vent to elbow. Tape
the joint with duct tape. Tighten clamp.
STEiP 5. Install one end of elbow on
vent, the other end to the exhaust hood.
Tape joints and tighten damps.
NOTE: Once the exhaust vent is con­
nected and the laundry center is in its
fina location, check to make sure the
laundry center is still level (see section
“H:
level laundry CENTER). When
laundry center is level, use a Vie-inch
open-end wrench to turn the front leg
nuts tightly against laundiy center cabinet.
If the leg nuts are not tight against the
cabinet, the laundry center may vibrate.
