Level dryer
Dryer must be level to reduce noise and assure
proper performance.
Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before
moving across floor to prevent floor damage.

Move dryer close to its permanent location.
Leave enough room to connect exhaust vent. Remove
cardboard or hardboard from under dryer.
2.
Check levelness of dryer by placing a level on
top of dryer, first side to side, then front to back. If
dryer is not level, adjust dryer legs up or down.
If legs are not long enough to level dryer, order
Extended Dryer Feet Kit, Part No. 279810 (sold two
legs per kit), from your dealer.

Make gas
connection
1.
Remove and dispose of the red cap from the
gas pipe. (You may need to use pliers.)

Connect gas supply to dryer. Use pipe-joint
compound resistant to the action of L.P. gas for gas
connections. If flexible stainless steel tubing is used, be
certain there are no kinks.
3.
Turn the shutoff valve in the gas supply line
to the “open” position.
