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 located on the back page of this manual.
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.
NOTE: It might be necessary to level the dryer again after it has been moved into its final position.
Make Gas Connection
1.Remove the red cap from the gas pipe. Move the dryer close to its final position.
2.Using a wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the dryer. Use pipe joint compound on all non-flared male threads. If flexible metal tubing is used, be sure there are no kinks.
NOTE: For LP gas connections, you must use pipe joint compound resistant to the action of LP gas. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the dryer to the existing gas line. Shown following is a recommended connection. Your connection may be different, according to the supply line type, size and location.
