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. See illustration.
2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the top or console
panel).
Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard corners.
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 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.
6. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.
For mobile home use
Gas dryers must be securely fastened to the floor.
Mobile home installations require a Mobile Home Installation Kit.
For ordering information please reference your "Dryer User
Instructions."

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 is
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 L.P. gas connections, you must use pipe joint
compound resistant to the action of L.P. 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.
1. ³⁄₈ in. flexible gas connector
2. ³⁄₈ in. dryer pipe
3. ³⁄₈ in. to ³⁄₈ in. pipe elbow
4. ³⁄₈ in. pipe-to-flare adapter fitting
3. Open the shutoff valve in the supply line. The valve is open
when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
1. Closed valve
2. Open valve
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
non-corrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a
leak. Correct any leak found.
