Installing the Vent Kit
• 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 the appliance.
The appliance is configured to vent to the rear. It
can also vent to the bottom or side.
• An adapter kit, part number 383EEL9001B, may
be purchased from your LG retailer. This kit
contains duct components necessary to change
the appliance vent location.
• Right-side venting is not available on gas
models.
