INSTALL VENT SYSTEM

1.
Install exhaust hood. Use caulking com-
pound to seal exterior wall opening
around exhaust hood.
2.
Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must
fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to
exhaust hood with 4˝ (10.2 cm) clamp.
3.
Run vent to dryer location. Use the
straightest path possible. See "Deter-
mine vent path" in "Plan Vent System."
Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to seal all
joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or
other fastening devices that extend into
the interior of the vent to secure vent.

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.
2.
Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not
the top or console panel). Gently lay the
dryer on the cardboard. See illustration.
3.
Examine the leveling legs. Find the dia-
mond 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 from dryer
packaging 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. 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. See "Tools and Parts"
section for information on ordering.

MAKE GAS CONNECTION

(GAS MODELS ONLY)
1.
Remove the red cap from the gas pipe.
2.
Using a wrench to tighten, connect the
gas supply to the dryer. Use pipe-joint
compound on the threads of all nonflared
male fittings. If flexible metal tubing is
used, be sure there are no kinks.
A
NOTE: For LP gas connections, you must
use pipe-joint compound resistant to the
action of LP gas. Do not use TEFLON
tape.
