Determine vent path:
■ Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
■ Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
as possible.
■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■ 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.
The Vent System Chart provides venting requirements that will help achieve best drying performance.

Open clamp. Twist hose back and forth while pushing onto drain connector at the lower left (27" [69 cm] models) or lower center (24" [61 cm] models) portion of the rear of the washer/ dryer. Continue until hose contacts the ribbed stops on the cabinet. On 27" (69 cm) models, place clamp over the area on the hose marked “CLAMP.” On 24" (61 cm) models, place clamp over the smooth area on the hose between the two ribs. Release clamp.
28
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 right-hand (red) 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 (left-hand [blue] inlet valve).
IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses
every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates
for future reference.
