The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp. 2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent. 3. (On gas models) Check that there are no kinks in the flexible gas line. 4. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the corner posts and cardboard. The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses. 1. Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose. 2. Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with new rubber washer provided. If space permits, attach the brass female end of the "Y" connector to the cold water faucet. NOTE: If "Y" connector can be attached directly to cold water faucet, go to Step 6. If "Y" connector cannot be attached directly to the cold water faucet, the short hose must be used. Continue with Step 3. 3. Attach short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on faucet. 4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional twothirds turn. NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result. 5. Attach "Y" connector to brass male end of small hose. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on connector. 6. Attach straight end of long hose to "Y" connector. 7. Attach washer cold inlet hose to other end of "Y" connector. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on connector. 1-®TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company. 13
