Level Dryer

Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness 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 is
moved into its final position.

Make Gas Connection

1. Remove the red cap from the gas pipe. Move the dryer close
to its final position.

no kinks.
NOTE: For L.P. gas connections, you must use pipe joint
compound resistant to the action of L.P. gas. Do not use
TEFLON ®† tape.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
dryer to the existing gas line. Shown following is a
