INSTALL VENT SYSTEM
1.
Optional: Put on safety glasses and gloves.
2.
Install exhaust hood. Use caulking com-
pound to seal exterior wall opening around
exhaust hood.
3.
Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must
fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to
exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
4.
Run vent to dryer location. Use the
straightest path possible (see "Determine
Vent Length"). 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 se-
cure 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
console panel). Gently lay the dryer on the
cardboard.
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 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 or gas
line.
6.
Once connection is made and dryer is in
final location, remove corner posts and
cardboard.
For Mobile Home Use
Gas dryers must be securely fastened to the
floor at the time of installation.
Mobile home installations require a "Mobile
Home Installation Kit."
LEVEL DRYER
Check the levelness of the dryer. Check level-
ness first side to side, then front to back.
If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using
a wood block. Use a wrench to adjust the legs
up or down and check again for levelness.
NOTE: It might be necessary to level the dryer
again after it has been moved into its final
position.
