Make sure the leveling feet of the dryer are fully
retracted.
NOTE: The dryer and pedestal must be located on
a solid, sturdy, level floor for proper operation.
Once the pedestal is adjusted and level, use the
wrench to tighten the locknuts against the base
of the pedestal to prevent the feet from vibrating
out of adjustment.
Loosen the locknuts on the pedestal feet with the
wrench, then adjust the feet as shown above to
level the dryer. Use a level, and make sure all 4
feet are solid and even on the floor.
Insert the T-clip of the 4 retainers into the slots
on the dryer base with the raised bracket toward
the outside of the dryer. Press the back of the
retainer upward while sliding the retainer toward
the outside of the dryer to lock it in place.
Set the dryer in place on the pedestal. The dryer
feet will align with the inner-most cut-outs in the
pedestal brackets as shown. Dryers are large and
heavy, so have someone help you lift it.
