INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LEVELING THE DRYER

WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons, adhere
to all industry recommended safety procedures
including the use of long sleeved gloves and
safety glasses. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury or death.
• The appliances are heavy. Two or more people
are required when installing the dryer. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury or
death.
To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying
performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a level,
solid surface.
NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary
to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet too far can
cause the dryer to vibrate.
1 Position the dryer in the final location. Place a level
across the top of the dryer.
Once feet are adjusted (see step 2 below), gently push
on the top corners of the dryer to make sure that the
dryer does not rock from corner to corner.
Turn each leveling foot clockwise to raise that corner
2
of the dryer. Turn foot counterclockwise to lower. Keep
checking the leveling tool as you adjust feet until the
dryer is level from side to side and front to back.
