INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – GAS 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. That's how far the leg is supposed to go into the hole.
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 1" (25 mm)
wrench or socket wrench to finish turning the legs until you
reach the diamond mark. Then fit a protective 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.

Make Gas Connection

1. Remove red cap from gas pipe.
2. Connect gas supply to dryer. If the flexible gas hose has 3/8"
BSP thread, use the supplied conversion thread adapter. Use
pipe-joint compound resistant to the action of L.P. gas for gas
connections.
If necessary for service, open the toe panel. Use a putty knife
to press on the 2 toe panel locks located at the top of the toe
panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to open. Toe panel is
hinged at the bottom.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive
leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any
leak found.

Connect Vent

1. Using a 102 mm (4") clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is
clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet
and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured
to exhaust hood with a 102 mm (4") clamp.

Complete Installation

1. Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make
sure dryer is level.
2. Check to be sure there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.
3. With dryer in final position, place level on top of the dryer, first
side to side; then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust
the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
This is a 3-wire dryer which must be earthed.
Securely tighten all electrical connections.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or
electric shock.
4. Reconnect power to dryer.
5. Check dryer operation.
Select the full heat cycle (not the air cycle), start and allow
the dryer to complete a full cycle to make sure it is working
properly. Dryer will stop when the time is used up.
NOTE: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate. When
door is open, the dryer stops. To restart dryer, close door and
reselect your cycle.
6. If the burner does not ignite and you can feel no heat inside the
dryer, shut off dryer for five minutes. Check that all supply valve
controls are in "ON" position and that the electrical cord is
plugged in. Repeat five-minute test.
