Leveling The Dryer; Changing The Dryer Vent Location; Reversing The Door Swing - LG Tromm DLEX8377NM User's Manual & Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LEVELING THE DRYER
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 perfectly level, solid surface.
NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as
necessary to level the dryer. Extending the
leveling feet more than necessary can cause
the dryer to vibrate.
f-
Leveling Feet
Position the dryer in the final location. Place
a level across the top of the dryer.
• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the
floor. Gently push on the top corners of the
dryer to make sure that the dryer does not
rock from corner to corner.
If you are installing the dryer on the optional
pedestal, you must use the leveling feet on the
pedestal to level the dryer. The dryer leveling feet
should be fully retracted.
Use an adjustable wrench to turn the leveling
feet. Turn clockwise to raise the dryer or
counterclockwise to lower it. Raise or lower
the leveling feet until dryer is level from
side to side and front to back.
Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm
contact with the floor.
