INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Open the dryer door and remove the shipping
tape holding the dryer drum to the cabinet.
.2. Remove all literature and installation parts from
the dryer drum.
3. Block up the front of the appliance about four
inches and install leveling feet in the front corners.
These feet should extend approximately one inch.
Remove the block and repeat the procedure at the
rear of appliance.
For mobile home installations all floor mounted
dryers must be fastened to the floor during transit
using Kit No. 346765. The dryer does not need to be
fastened to the floor while the mobile home is not
in transit.
4. Refer to the Exhaust System Requirements in
these instructions.
NOTE: For mobile home installations the dryer must
be exhausted to the outside. If the dryer is exhausted
through the floor and the area under the mobile
home is enclosed, it is recommended that the
exhaust system terminate outside the enclosure.
Extension beyond the enclosure will prevent the
accumulation of lint and moisture under the mobile
home.
5. Move the appliance into its permanent position.
Level appliance from front to back and from side to
side by adjusting the leveling feet.
