For mobile home use

Gas dryers must be securely fastened to the floor at the time of installation.

Mobile home installations require a Mobile Home Installation Kit. For more information, please reference the service numbers in the “Assistance or Service” section of this manual.

LevelDryer

Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first side to side, then front to back.

If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for levelness.

NOTE: It might be necessary to level the dryer again after it has been moved into its final position.

MakeGasConnection

1.Remove the red cap from the gas pipe. Move the dryer close to its final position.

2.Using a wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the dryer. Use pipe joint compound on all non-flared male threads. If flexible metal tubing is used, be sure there are no kinks.

NOTE: For L.P. gas connections, you must use pipe joint compound resistant to the action of L.P. gas. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.

A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the dryer to the existing gas line. Shown following is a recommended connection. Your connection may be different, according to the supply line type, size and location.

3.Open the shutoff valve in the supply line. The valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.

A. Closed valve

B. Open valve

4.Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leak found.

ConnectVent

1.Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

2.Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

3.(On gas models) Check to be sure there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.

■ Dryer door is closed.

11. When the dryer has been running for 5 minutes, open the

dryer door and feel for heat. If you do not feel heat, turn the

dryer off and check to see that the gas supply line shutoff

valve is open.

■ If the gas supply line shutoff valve is closed, open it, then

repeat the 5-minute test as outlined above.

■ If the gas supply line shutoff valve is open, contact a

A. ³⁄₈" flexible gas connector B. ³⁄₈" dryer pipe

C. ³⁄₈" to ³⁄₈" pipe elbow

D.³⁄₈" pipe-to-flare adapter fitting
