1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior

wall opening around exhaust hood.

2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust

hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.

See "Determine vent path" in "Plan Vent System." Avoid 90 °

turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape,

screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior

of the vent to secure vent.

3. Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking,

4. Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to

finish turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer

visible.

5. Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each

of the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the

dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location.

Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent or gas line.

For mobile home use

Gas dryers must be securely fastened to the floor at the time of

installation.

Mobile home installations require a Mobile Home Installation Kit.

For more information, please reference the service numbers in

the "Assistance

or Service" section of this manual.

Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first

side to side, then front to back.

1. To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from

the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge

of the dryer.

2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer. Gently lay the dryer on the

cardboard. See illustration.

\\\

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.

Remove the red cap from the gas pipe.

Using a wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the

dryer. Use pipe-joint

compound on the threads of all non-

flared male fittings. If flexible metal tubing is used, be sure

there are no kinks.
