INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LEVELING THE DRYER

WARNING:

Wear gloves during installation.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury.

To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a level, solid surface.

NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

Levell

Leveling Feett

1Position the dryer in the final location. Place a level across the top of the dryer.

All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Gently push on the top corners of the dryer to make sure that the dryer does not rock from corner to corner.

2Use a wrench to turn the leveling feet. Turn the leveling foot clockwise to raise the dryer; turn the foot counterclockwise to lower the dryer. Using a level, adjust the feet until the dryer is level from side to side and front to back. Make sure all four feet are in firm contact with the floor.

NOTE: If you are installing the dryer on the optional pedestal, the dryer leveling feet should be fully retracted. Use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the dryer.

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING

The swing of the dryer door can be reversed to fit your installation location.
