Install Vent System

1.Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

2.Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp.

3.Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. See “Determine vent path” in “Plan Vent System.” Avoid 90º turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent. Items sticking through the vent can catch lint.

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.

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.

Make Gas Connection

1.Remove the red cap from the gas pipe.

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

AB

A. Flared male fitting

B. Non-flared male fitting

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