Install Leveling Legs
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 (not the top or console panel). Gently lay the dryer on
the cardboard. See illustration.
3.
Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.
4.
Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until the
diamond marking is no longer visible.
5.
Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each of the 2 dryer back corners.
Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location.
Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.
Connect Vent
1.
Using a 4" (10.2 cm) 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. Check that the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a
4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
2.
Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.
3.
(On gas models) Check that there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.
4.
Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the corner posts and cardboard.
Connect Inlet Hose
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new inlet hoses. Do not use
old hoses.
1.
Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.
2.
Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with new rubber washer provided.
If space permits, attach the brass female end of the “Y” connector to the cold water faucet.
NOTE:
If “Y” connector can be attached directly to cold water faucet, go to Step 6. If “Y”
connector cannot be attached directly to the cold water faucet, the short hose must be
used. Continue with Step 3.
3.
Attach short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on
faucet.
4.
Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
5.
Attach “Y” connector to brass male end of small hose. Screw on coupling by hand until it
is seated on connector.
6.
Attach straight end of long hose to “Y” connector.
7.
Attach washer cold inlet hose to other end of “Y” connector. Screw on coupling by hand
until it is seated on connector.
8.
Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
9.
Attach angled end of long hose to fill valve at bottom of dryer back panel. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on fill valve connector.
