Place the dryer in position, and adjust the legs until the 

dryer is level from side to side and front to back. The 

dryer must not rock.

Figure 3 

IMPORTANT: In mobile home installations, gas 
dryers MUST be permanently attached to the floor 
at the time of installation. Order No. 526P3 Dryer 
Installation Kit (available at extra cost) for a 
manufactured (mobile) home installation. Follow 
the instructions supplied with the kit.

Step 2: Connect Dryer Exhaust System

DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting. Rigid 

metal duct is recommended.

Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as 

possible.

Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing 

your new dryer.

Use 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid or flexible 

metal duct.

The male end of each section of duct must point 

away from the dryer.

Use as few elbows as possible.

Use duct tape or pop-rivets on all duct joints.

Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must 

be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint 

build-up on pipe walls.
