INSTALLING THE DRYER
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
such as gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (45.8 cm)
above the floor for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
WARNING
1. Remove the tape from the front corners of
the dryer. Open the dryer and remove the
literature and parts packages. Wipe the
interior of the drum thoroughly with a damp
cloth.
2. Place two of the cardboard corners from
the carton on the floor in back of the dryer.
Firmly grasp the body of the dryer, and
gently lay it on its back on the cardboard
corners.
3. Look at the ridges on one of the leveling
legs for a diamond marking. That is how far
the leg is supposed to go into the hole.
4. Start to screw the leveling legs into the
holes by hand. (You can use a small amount
of liquid detergent to lubricate the screw
threads so it is easier to turn the legs.) Use
a 1
″
wrench or socket wrench to finish
turning the legs until you reach the diamond
mark, then stand dryer up on its feet.
NOTE: Slide the cardboard or hardboard un-
der the dryer before moving it across any
flooring, to avoid damaging the floor covering.
5. Move the dryer close to its final position.
Remove the cardboard or hardboard from
under the dryer.
At this time, proceed to either “Gas Dryers” or
“Electric Dryers” to complete the installation.
