8. Leveling and stabilizing y our appliance
1. Carefully m o ve the appliance to its final location. Gently
r ock the appliance into position. It is important not to
damage the rubber leveling legs when m oving y our appli-
ance to its final location. Damaged legs can increase ap-
pliance vibration. It may be helpful to spray window
cleaner on the floor to help m ove y our appliance to its fi-
nal position.
Note: Note: Note: Note: Note: Do not use the washer lid to lift the unit.
2. T o ensure the appliance is l e vel and solid on all four leg s,
tilt the appliance forward so the rear legs are off the
g round. Gently set the appliance back d own to allow the
rear legs to self adjust.
3. With the appliance in its final position, place a level on
top of back part of the washer lid and check it side to
side, then check fr ont to back. Scr ew the fr ont leveling legs
up or d o wn to ensure the appliance is resting solid on all
four legs (no r ocking or the appliance should exist), turn
the lock nuts on each leg up to ward the base of the unit
and snug with a wrench.
Note: Note: Note: Note: Note: Keep the leg extension at minimum to pr event exces-
sive vibration. The farther out legs are extended, the more
the unit will vibrate.
NOTE: ELBOWS WILL PREVENT DUCT KINKING AND COL-
LAPSIN G .

• For best d r ying performanc e, a rigid metal transition duct is
recommended .
• Rigid metal transitions ducts reduce the risk of crushing and
kinking.

• If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed fl exible
metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077).
• Ne ver install fl exible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or
other enclosed spaces.
• For ma ny applications, installing elbows at both the d ryer
and the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations). El-
bows allow the appliance to sit close to the wall without
kinking and
or crushing the transition duct, maximizing d r y-
ing performance.
• Av oid resting the duct on sharp objects.

• In special installations, it may be necessa r y to connect the
d ryer to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil-type)
duct. A UL-listed fl exible metal (foil-type) duct may be used
ONLY in installations where rigid metal or fl exible metal
(semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" diam-
eter can be maintained th r oughout the entire length of the
transition duct.
• In Canada and the United States, only the fl exible metal
(foil-type) ducts that comply with the "Outline for Clothes
D ryer Transition Duct Subject 2158A" shall be used.
• Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet
(2.4 m ).
• Av oid resting the duct on sharp objects.
• For best d r ying performance:
1. Slide one end of the duct o ver the clothes d ryer outlet
pipe.
2. Secure the duct with a clamp.
3. With the d ryer in its permanent position, extend the duct
to its full length. Allow 2" of duct to o verlap the exhaust
pipe. C ut off and rem ove excess duct. Keep the duct as
straight as possible for maximum airfl ow.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other clamp.
