LEVELING

Leveling your dryer properly reduces excess noise and
vibration.
1. Remove cardboard from beneath dryer. Place a level on top
edges of dryer, checking each side and front. If not level, tip
dryer and adjust legs up or down as shown in Steps 3 and
4, repeating as necessary.

all four legs are firmly on floor. Repeat, rocking dryer from
side to side. If dryer rocks, go to Step 3 and adjust leveling
feet. If all four legs are in firm contact with floor, go to
Step 4.

3. If dryer is not level, use a 25 mm or 1" open-end or
adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts clockwise (as viewed
from above) on legs until they are about 13 mm (1/2")
from the dryer cabinet. Then turn the leveling leg
counterclockwise to lower the dryer or clockwise to raise
the dryer. Recheck levelness of dryer and that all four legs
are firmly in contact with the floor. Repeat as needed.
HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of dryer
about 102 mm (4") with a wood block or similar object that
will support weight of dryer.
