INSTALLATION
- GENERAL
PROCEDURE
For proper
installation,
we recommend
that you
hire a qualified
installer.
Read these instructions
completely
before you begin the installation.
To install
the dryer,
follow
these
steps:
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate
location
for installation.
Consider
installing the dryer and washer side-
by-side
so you have easy access to both appliances.
To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushion-tops
on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it
lies across
both cushion-tops.
Push the dryer so that it is near its final location.
Set your dryer upright.
Leave enough room around the dryer so you can attach
the duct work,
power cord, etc.
2.
If you need to change
the direction
of the door, go to Door Reversal on page.
When done, return to
Step 3 below.
3.
Review the Exhausting
section before installing the exhaust system.
Install the duct work from your
dryer to the exhaust
hood. The crimped
end of the duct sections
must point away from your dryer. DO
NOT use sheet metal screws
when assembling
ducting.
These joints should
be taped.
Never use plastic
flexible exhaust material.
A tip for tight installations:
Attach a section
of the exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in
place. Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover the ventilation
slots at the
back of the dryer cabinet.
4.
If you have an electric model, skip to Step 6. If you have a gas model, go to the next step.
5.
Review the Gas Requirements
section,
then follow the lettered steps below.
a.
Remove
the pipe thread protective
cap.
b.
Apply pipe joint compound
or about 1 1/2 wraps of Teflon tape over all threaded
connections.
[_
The pipe joint compound
must be resistant
to the action of
liquefied
petroleum
any
gas.
c.
Connect
the gas supply to your dryer. An additional
fitting is required to connect the 3/4" (1.9 cm)
female thread end of a flexible connector
to the 3/8" (1 cm) male threaded
end on the dryer.
d.
Securely tighten the gas line fitting over the threads.
e.
Turn on the gas supply. Check all gas connections
for leaks using a soap solution.
If bubbles
appear, tighten the connections
and recheck.
DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
f.
