DRYER GAS PIPE

The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of your dryer
has a 3/8" male pipe thread.
3/8" NPT dryer pipe
NOTE: For a garage installation, the gas pipe height must be an
additional 18" (460 mm) from the floor.

INSTALL LEVELING LEGS

1.
Prepare dryer for leveling legs
Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay dryer
down on back cardboard corner posts.
IMPORTANT: If laying dryer on its back, use the cardboard
corner posts the dryer was packed with to avoid damaging the
back of the dryer.
2.
Screw in leveling legs
Using a wrench and tape measure, screw leveling legs into leg
holes until bottom of foot is approximately 1" (25 mm) from
bottom of dryer.
Now stand the dryer on its feet. Slide the dryer 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
MobileHome Installation Hold-down Kit. For
ordering information please reference
the "Quick Reference Guide."
