from dryer carton; place under entire back edge of dryer.

dryer down on cardboard.

leg holes by hand, use a wrench to finish turning legs until
diamond marking is no longer visible.
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.
