Install Leveling Legs; Make Gas Connection - Maytag MGDB750YW Installation Instructions Manual

INSTALL LEVELING LEGS

1.
Prepare dryer for leveling legs
To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard
from dryer carton; place under entire dryer. Firmly grasp
dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay dryer down on
cardboard.
IMPORTANT: If laying dryer on its back, use the cardboard
corner posts the dryer was packed with to avoid damaging
the back of the dryer. Lay the dryer on its side if you do not
have the cardboard corner posts the dryer was packed with.
2.
Screw in leveling legs
Examine leveling legs. Using a wrench, screw legs into leg
holes until foot flange touches the base. Foot is fully installed
when bottom of foot is approximately 1/2" (13 mm) from
bottom of dryer.
Now stand the dryer on its legs. Slide the dryer until it is
close to its final location. Leave enough room for electrical
connection and to connect the exhaust vent.

MAKE GAS CONNECTION

tubing is used, be sure there are no kinks.

compound resistant to action of LP gas. Do not use
