(10.2 cm)
1.Louvered hood style
2. Box hood style
The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood
type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
• Shorten the life of the dryer.
• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than those
specified in the Vent Length Chart.
The following chart helps you determine your maximum vent
length based on the number of 90 ° turns or elbows you will
need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood
that you will use.

been moved into its final position.
1. Remove the red cap from the gas pipe. Move the dryer close
to its final position.
2. Using a wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the
dryer. Use pipe joint compound on all non-flared male
threads. If flexible metal tubing is used, be sure there are
no kinks.
NOTE: For L.R gas connections, you must use pipe joint
compound resistant to the action of L.R gas. Do not use
TEFLON _tape.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
dryer to the existing gas line. Shown following is a
recommended connection. Your connection may be different,
according to the supply line type, size, and location.
You can change your door swing from a right-side opening to a
left-side opening, if desired.
Locate the door reversing kit that was shipped in the drum of
your dryer. You will need these parts to complete the door
reversal.
