Step-by-step installation

For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualified installer.
Read these instructions completely before you begin the installation.
To install the dryer, follow these steps:
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer
and washer sideby- side so you have easy access to both appliances.
NOTE
To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on
its side so it lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its final location.
Set your dryer upright.
Leave enough room around the dryer so you can attach the duct work, power cord, etc.
2. If you need to change the direction of the door, go to "Door reversal" on page 31. When
done, return to Step 3 below.
3. Review the "Exhausting" section before installing the exhaust system. Install the duct
work from your dryer to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must
point away from your dryer. DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling ducting.
These joints should be taped. Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.
NOTE
A tip for tight installations: Attach a section of the exhaust system to your dryer before
putting it in place. Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover the
ventilation slots at the back of the dryer cabinet.
4. If you have an electric model, skip to Step 6. If you have a gas model, go to the next step.
5. Review the "Gas requirements" section, then follow the lettered steps below.
A. Remove the pipe thread protective cap.
B. Apply pipe joint compound or about 1 1/2 wraps of Teflon tape over all threaded
connections.
The pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum
gas.
C. Connect the gas supply to your dryer. An additional fitting is required to connect
the 3/4" (1.9 cm) female thread end of a flexible connector to the 3/8" (1 cm) male
threaded end on the dryer.
D. Securely tighten the gas line fitting over the threads.
E. Turn on the gas supply. Check all gas connections for leaks using a soap solution. If
bubbles appear, tighten the connections and recheck. DO NOT use an open flame to
check for gas leaks.
F. Go to Step 6.
