Provision must be made for enough air for combustion and
ventilation (check governing codes and ordinances). See
"Recessed Area Installation Instructions" in the "Stacked
Washer/Gas Dryer Location" and "Stacked Washer/Electric
Dryer Location" sections.
A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 2
(64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2
outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types.
For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.
Connect Vent
1. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.
2. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer.
