INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – ELECTRIC DRYER

Install Leveling Legs

NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving to
avoid damaging floor covering.
1. Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation
location.
2. Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove
the literature and parts packages. Wipe the interior of the
drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
3. Take two of the cardboard corners from the carton and place
them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body
of the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard
corners.
4. With one of the legs in hand, check the ridges for a
diamond marking.
5. Start to screw the leveling legs into the holes by hand.
(Use a small amount of liquid detergent to lubricate the screw
threads so it is easier to turn the legs.) Use a 25 mm (1")
wrench or socket wrench to finish turning the legs until the
diamond marking is no longer visible. Then fit a covered foot
boot over each foot.
Now stand the dryer up.
6. Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the
legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.
