16 INSTALLATION Installing the Side Vent Kit WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury, death or property damage, follow basic precautions, including the following: • Use long-sleeved gloves and safety glasses. • Use a heavy metal vent. • Do not use plastic or thin foil ducts. • Clean old ducts before installing this dryer. Your new dryer is configured to vent to the rear. It can also vent to the bottom or side (right-side venting is not available on gas models). An adapter kit, part number 383EEL9001B, may be purchased from your LG retailer. This kit contains duct components necessary to change the dryer vent location. 1 Remove the rear exhaust duct retaining screw. Pull out the exhaust duct. Retaining Screw 3 Preassemble a 4-inch (10.2 cm) elbow to the next 4-inch (10.2 cm) duct section, and secure all joints with duct tape. Be sure that the male end of the elbow faces AWAY from the dryer. Insert the elbow/duct assembly through the side opening and press it onto the adapter duct. Secure it in place with duct tape. Be sure that the male end of the duct protrudes 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) to connect the remaining ductwork. Attach the cover plate to the back of the dryer with the included screw.
