1 n Put on safety glasses and

gloves, Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove the literature and parts packages.

Remove the tape that holds the drum to the cabinet. (Some dryer drums are not taped for shipping.) Move the drum by hand to make certain all tape has been removed. Wipe the interior of the drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

2 H Take two of the cardboard corners from the carton and place them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.

3 n With one of the legs in hand, check the ridges for a diamond marking. That’s how far the leg is supposed to go into the hole.

4 n Start to screw the leveling legs into the holes by hand. (Use a small amount of liquid detergent to lubricate the screw threads so it is easier to turn the legs.) Use a l-inch wrench or socket wrench to finish turning the legs until you reach the diamond mark.

Stand the dryer up.

Slide dryer onto cardboard or hard- board before moving across floor to avoid damaging floor covering.

5 n Move dryer close to final position. Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer.

6 n Remove red cap from gas pipe. Carefully move dryer into final position, Place level on top of the dryer, first side to side; then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

7 n Connect gas supply to dryer. Use pipe-joint compound resistant to the action of L.Pgas for gas connections.

If flexible metal tubing is used, check that there are no kinks.

shutoff valve

8 n Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.

9 H Use a brush and liquid detergent to test all external gas connections for leaks. Bubbles around connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears, shut off gas valve controls and adjust connections. Then check connections again. NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH A FLAME. Close the access panel.

All connections must be wrench- tightened.

10 n To exhaust dryer, see “Exhaust requirements,” Pages i-3. Connect exhaust vent to exhaust hood. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the exhaust vent. Use caulking to seal exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

11 n Plug power supply cord into grounded outlet.

12 . Insert user card and push START button to start dryer to remove air from the gas supply line. Using a full heat cycle (not the air cycle), let the dryer run for at least five minutes. If the burner does not ignite and you can feel no heat inside the dryer, shut off the dryer for five minutes. Check that all gas supply valve controls are in ‘ON” position and that the power supply cord is plugged in. Repeat the five-minute test.

Note: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate. When door is open, dryer stops, but timer continues to run. To restart dryer, close door and push START button.
