screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior

of the vent to secure vent.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dryer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

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 (not the console panel).

Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard.

See illustration.

The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the

new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.

1. Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.

2. Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with

new rubber washer provided. If space permits, attach the

brass female end of the "Y" connector to the cold water

faucet.

NOTE: If "Y" connector can be attached directly to cold water

faucet, go to Step 6. If "Y" connector cannot be attached

directly to the cold water faucet, the short hose must be

used. Continue with Step 3.

3. Attach short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by

hand until it is seated on faucet.

4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-

thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten.

Damage to the coupling can

result.

5. Attach "Y" connector to brass male end of small hose. Screw

on coupling by hand until it is seated on connector.

6. Attach straight end of long hose to "Y" connector.

7. Attach washer cold inlet hose to other end of "Y" connector.

Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on connector.
