STEP 7 Install the exhaust system
Exhaust ducting guide
Ducting
1. Make sure the Laundry Hub is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection. Never use lint-trapping
screws.
3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.
Cleaning
Clean all old ducts before installing the Laundry Hub, and make sure the vent flap opens and closes freely.
We recommend that you clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.
WARNING
• To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible ducts of any kind.
• Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer's performance.
• Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
• Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.
CAUTION
Before installing your Laundry Hub, remove the packing in the duct.
NOTE
Secure room around the Laundry Hub to facilitate ducting and wiring.
STEP 8 Connect the gas line (for gas models)
Before connecting the gas line, make sure you have read the "Gas requirements" section on page 30.
1. Remove the protective cap from the gas pipe.
2. Apply an LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)-safe compound or 1.5 wraps of Teflon tape to all threaded
connections.
3. Connect the gas supply to the dryer. An additional fitting is required to connect the
thread end of a flexible connector to the
fitting over all threads.
4. Turn on the gas supply, and check for any leaks using a soap solution. If a leak is found, tighten the
connections and try again. Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
