INSTALL LEVELING LEGS

1.
Prepare dryer for leveling legs
Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay
dryer down on back cardboard corner posts.
IMPORTANT: If laying dryer on its back, use the cardboard
corner posts the dryer was packed with to avoid damaging
the back of the dryer.
2.
Screw in leveling legs
Using a wrench and tape measure, screw leveling legs into
leg holes until bottom of foot is approximately 1" (25 mm)
from bottom of dryer.
Now stand the dryer on its feet. Slide the dryer until it is
close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect
the exhaust vent.
For mobile home use:
Gas dryers must be securely fastened to the floor.
Mobile home installations require a Mobile
Home Installation Hold-down Kit. For
