INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installing the leveling legs

Leveling your dryer correctly will reduce operating noise and provide improved drying performance.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dryer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

To install leveling legs:

1.Take two of the cardboard corners from the carton. Place them on the floor in back of the dryer.

2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer. Gently lay dryer on the cardboard corners.

3.Start to screw the legs into the holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the

legs. They should stick out about 1 inch.

4.Now stand the dryer up and move it close to its final location. Leave enough room to

connect the exhaust vent.

5.Check levelness of dryer by placing a level

on top of the dryer, first side-to-side; then front-to-back.

6.If dryer is not level, prop the dryer up using two stacked cardboard corner posts.

Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down.

NOTE: It may be necessary to level the dryer again after it is moved into its final position.
