Looking for an installation manual. Customer doing remodeling project, bought Samsung Bespoke Stacked Laundry and side vent kit.  Remodeling contractor wants no part of side vent conversion, but is willing to complete installation once side vent conversion complete. 

Checked STG: dryer service manual has no mention of side venting. STG has no mention of side vent kit under Quick Tips: view all. 

Didn’t find installation manual on Samsung consumer site. 

Don’t know if this means side venting not an option on this model.  

I believe customer purchased kit is DV-2A/XAA. Looks like they want to vent to the left.

Installation manual or any guidance appreciated. 

Thanks.

I don't have anything for this one -- Brother @Vance R, how about you?

Found the service, training, owner's manuals and part list. Peek at part list the dryer cabinet has a cutout on right side lower back area for a vent. Presume the Kit is just 2 straight  and 1 elbow pieces.  Probably have to take the dryer front and drum out to make the changes.  Uploaded pending approval.

Thanks guys. Yup see the cutouts. I know side vents exist, and have seen them, but don’t remember ever disassembling a side vented dryer before.  Surprised to see side vents indicated on left and right sides. Didn’t realize exhaust could fit under heating element. 

Thanks again!
