INSTALL LEVELING LEGS

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. Gently
lay the dryer on the cardboard. See illus-
tration.
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 un-
til the diamond marking is no longer vis-
ible.
5. Place a carton corner post from dryer
packaging under each of the 2 dryer back
corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dry-
er on the corner posts until it is close to its
final location. Leave enough room to con-
nect the exhaust vent.
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. For more information,
please reference the service numbers in the
"Assistance or Service" section of the "Use &
Care Guide."

MAKE GAS CONNECTION

1. Remove the red cap from the gas pipe.
2. Using a wrench to tighten, connect the gas
supply to the dryer. Use pipe-joint com-
pound on the threads of all nonflared male
fittings. If flexible metal tubing is used, be
sure there are no kinks.
