A WARNING

• Wear gloves during installation.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result

in injury.

To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying
performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration,

noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be

a level, solid surface.

NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary

to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than

necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

Use a wrench to turn the leveling feet. Turn the leveling

foot clockwise to raise the dryer; turn the foot counter­
clockwise to lower the dryer. Using a level, adjust the
feet until the dryer is level from side to side and front to

back. Make sure all 4 feet are in firm contact with the

floor.

NOTE: If you are installing the dryer on the optional
pedestal, the dryer leveling feet should be fully retracted.
Use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the dryer.

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING

The swing of the dryer door can be reversed to fit your

installation location.
