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.
Mobile home installations require a Mobile Home Installation Kit.
See “Tools and Parts” section for information on ordering.
Make Gas Connection
1. Remove the red cap from the gas pipe.
2. 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.
NOTE: For LP gas connections, you must use pipe-joint
compound resistant to the action of LP gas. Do not use
TEFLON
®† tape.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
dryer to the existing gas line. Shown is a recommended
connection. Your connection may be different, according to
the supply line type, size and location.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the supply line. The valve is open
when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a
leak. Correct any leak found.
Connect Vent
1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in
dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is
clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet
and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured
to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.
3. (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.
Connect Inlet Hose
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.
