Connect Vent

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. 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.Check that there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.

Level Dryer

All four dryer feet were preset to the same height at the factory.

1.Using a ⁹⁄₁₆" (14 mm) open-end wrench, verify that the nuts on the two rear preset feet are tightened against the cabinet.

2.Slide the dryer to its final location.

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

4.If the dryer is not level, move the dryer slightly away from the wall and first prop the front with a wood block and adjust the feet as necessary; then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary. Repeat this step until dryer is level.

5.After the dryer is level, use a ⁹⁄₁₆" (14 mm) open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the dryer cabinet.

Complete Installation

1.Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

2.Check that you have all of your tools.

3.Check the dryer’s final location. Be sure the vent is not crushed or kinked.

4.Check that the dryer is level. See “Level Dryer.”
