the gas pipe.

outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a
4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

(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.
Level Dryer
Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first side to side, then front to back.
If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a wrench to adjust the legs
up or down and check again for levelness.
