Install Leveling Legs

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.

1.To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge of the dryer.

2.Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the console panel). Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard. See illustration.

Level Dryer

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.

3.Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.

4.Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.

5.Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each of the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.

Connect Vent

1.Using a 4" (102 mm) 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" (102 mm) clamp.

2.Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.

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

4.Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the corner posts and cardboard.

Reverse Door Swing

You can change your door swing from a right-side opening to a left-side opening, if desired.

1.Place a towel or soft cloth on top of the dryer or work space to protect the surface.

Remove the door assembly

1.Remove the 4 screws that hold the door hinge on the front panel of the dryer.
