Section 1 - Bottom Exhaust Venting
1. Position the dryer into its operating position in the room and
measure its rear corner location from the back wall and side
wall. Record these dimensions for future use.
NOTE: Install front panel prior to sliding top and console on to
add rigidity to the dryer cabinet. Remove once measurements
are completed.
2. Slide the top and console assembly forward making sure the
top catches the two slide-hooks, one on either side near the
front (See Figure 16) and reattach the two (2) rear screws.
See Figure 2.
3. Using two (2) corner posts from the shipping carton or other
protective material on the oor beside the dryer, gently lay
dryer on left side.
4. Using either a 1/8” drill bit and drill or a cold chisel and ham-
mer, remove the six (6) knockout retaining tabs around the
edge. See Figure 17.
5. Using a cold chisel and hammer around the knockout hole
edge, work around the edge until the knockout is removed.
Use a le to remove the small edge burrs generated by the
knockout procedure.
6. Reposition the dryer into its operating position using the
dimensions recorded in step 1 above. Using the exhaust
hole in the bottom panel as a template, mark the oor ac-
cordingly. Remove the two (2) rear screws from the top
and console assembly and slide the assembly rearward

8. Create sub-assembly by combining the 86 mm (3.40”) long
vent tube, the elbow and two clamps included in kit. Slightly
tighten clamps to hold assembly together but yet allow for
movement at this time.
9. Attach vent tube sub-assembly to the 229 mm (9.0”) long
vent tube within dryer as shown in Figure 18.
10. Assure the positioning of the bottom exhaust vent assembly
then securely tighten the clamps. See Figure 18.
11. Bottom venting of your dryer is now complete. Reassemble
dryer in reverse order as the unit was disassembled refer-
encing this instruction sheet assuring proper assembly and
wire lead connections.
12. Proceed to “Completing Dryer Installation” section at the end
of this instruction sheet.
Section 2 - Left Side Exhaust Venting
NOTE: Allow for a minimum clearance of 10” from wall to dryer
side panel if venting exhaust downward after exiting side panel
of dryer.
1. As you are facing the dryer, review the lower section of the
left side panel. If two (2) knockout features are present (See
Figure 19), remove the MOST REARWARD KNOCKOUT
ONLY.
