INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
16
WARNING
• Wear gloves during installation.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result
in injury.
To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying
performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be
a level, solid surface.
NOTE:
Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary
to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than
necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.
The swing of the dryer door can be reversed to fit your
installation location.
Open the dryer door.
NOTE:
Be sure to support the weight of the door before
removing the hinge screws.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the 2 hinge
screws that secure the door hinge to the dryer door
opening.
Remove the 2 latch screws and the latch from the dryer
door opening.
Remove the two screws above and below the latch.
Carefully turn the door up-side-down so the hinge is
reversed. Reattach the door to the opposite side of the
door opening.
Reinstall the door latch with the original latch screws.
Replace the remaining screws in the open holes.
Test the door swing to make sure the door moves
freely and latches securely.
Position the dryer in the final location. Place a level
across the top of the dryer.
• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor.
Gently push on the top corners of the dryer to make
sure that the dryer does not rock from corner to corner.
Use a wrench to turn the leveling feet. Turning the foot
clockwise lowers the foot and raises the dryer; turning
the foot counterclockwise raises the foot and lowers the
dryer. Raise or lower the leveling feet until the dryer is
level from side-to-side and front-to-back. Make sure
that all 4 leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.
NOTE:
If you are installing the dryer on the optional
pedestal, the dryer leveling feet should be fully retracted.
Use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the dryer.
