n Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. n Use as few 90° turns as possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance:
n Use following “Vent System Chart” to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use. NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those speci ed
in “Vent System Chart.” Exhaust systems longer than those speci ed will:
n Shorten life of dryer. n Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
and increased energy usage.

Connect Drain Hose
Proper connection of the drain hose protects your  oors from damage due to water leakage. To keep the drain hose from coming off or leaking, it must be installed according to the following instructions:
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must be followed exactly.
3. Place drain hose in standpipe
Drain hose form
1. Attach clamp to drain hose
¼"

(
Check the drain hose to see whether it is the proper length. Wet the inside of the straight end of the drain hose with tap water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use any lubricant other than water. Squeeze ears of the silver double-wire clamp with pliers to
open. Place clamp over the straight end of the drain hose 1/4" (6.4 mm) from the end.
2. Attach drain hose to drain connector
(27" model shown)
4.5"
(114 mm)
Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of laundry tub.
IMPORTANT: 4.5" (114 mm) of drain hose should be inside standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay on bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used.
4. Remove drain hose form
( oor drain installations only)
The appearance of the
24" model will vary
Open clamp. Twist hose back and forth while pushing onto drain connector on the side of the washer/dryer. Continue until hose contacts the ribbed stops on the cabinet. Place clamp over the area marked “CLAMP.” Release clamp.
For  oor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See “Tools and Parts.”

Connect Inlet Hoses
Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses with  at washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses.
NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water  owing to inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water faucet, you must use a Y-adapter (not included).
1. Insert washer into each hose
3. Clear water lines
Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket to prevent clogs. Water should run until clear.
Washer Coupling
Insert a new  at washer into each end of the inlet hoses (not provided). Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
2. Connect inlet hoses to water faucets
Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose for cold water faucet.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly. In most standard con gurations, hoses will cross over each other when attached correctly.
4. Connect inlet hoses to washer
Attach hot water hose to the bottom inlet valve. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve (top valve).
IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future reference.
n
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
