INSTALLATION

Gather the required tools and parts before starting the installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

Tools and parts

pliers

cutting knife

pipe wrench (gas only)

nut drivers

level

phillips Screwdriver

duct tape

Wrench

For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a professional. To install:

1. 

Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer side-

by-side, to allow access to gas, electrical, and exhaust connections. 

Lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it will lay across both 

cushion-tops.

2. 

Set your dryer back in an upright position.

3. 

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 perfectly level, solid surface.

To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully retract the 

leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen the legs 

by turning them clockwise 

Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer.

Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer 

to vibrate.
