A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
dryer to the existing gas line. Shown is a recommended
connection. Your connection may be different, according to
the supply line type, size and location.

3. Open the shutoff valve in the supply line. The valve is open

when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.

4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved

noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a
leak. Correct any leak found.

Connect Vent

1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in

dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is
clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet
and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured
to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.

3. (On gas models) Check that there are no kinks in the flexible

gas line.

4. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the

corner posts and cardboard.

Level Dryer

Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first
side to side, then front to back.

If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block.
Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for
levelness.

Reverse Door Swing

You can change your door swing from a right-side opening to a
left-side opening, if desired.

Remove the door

1. Open the dryer door. Remove the 4 screws that hold the door

hinge on the front panel of the dryer. Loosen, but do not
remove, the screw with the top keyhole opening last (second
from the top).

2. Lift and pull forward on the door so that the keyhole clears

the screw head. Remove the door.

3. Lay the dryer door on a flat, protected surface with the inside

door assembly facing up. Remove the last screw from Step 1.
Remove the 2 screws holding the handle to the door.

4. Remove the 6 screws to release the outer door assembly

from the inner door assembly (see illustration). It is important
that you remove only the 6 indicated screws.
