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.

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.

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 or gas line.

For mobile home use

Gas dryers must be securely fastened to the floor at the time of installation.

A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the dryer to the existing gas line. Shown is a recommended connection. Your connection may be different, according to the supply line type, size and location.

Mobile home installations require a Mobile Home Installation Kit. For more information, please call 1-800-4-MY-HOME

(1-800-469-4663).

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.

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 nonflared male fittings. If flexible metal tubing is used, be sure there are no kinks.

4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved

noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leak found.

Connect Vent

1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) 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. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) 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.

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