Install Leveling Legs

1.
Prepare dryer for leveling legs
To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard
from dryer carton; place under entire back edge of dryer.
Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay
dryer down on cardboard.
2.
Screw in leveling legs
Using a wrench and tape measure, screw legs into leg holes
until bottom of foot is approximately 1/2" (13 mm) (to match
height of 3.6 cu. ft. capacity washer) or 1½" (38 mm) (to
match height of 3.8 cu. ft. capacity washer) from bottom of
dryer.
Now stand the dryer on its legs. Slide the dryer until it is
close to its final location. Leave enough room for electrical
connection and 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 ordering information, please reference the
"Use and Care Guide."
