Before you start....
Important: If your washer and dryer are
already installed, they MUST be uninstalled.
If you need to uninstall your washer or dryer,
locate the installation instructions that came
with your laundry product. This information will
prove useful when reinstalling the products.
Uninstalling the washer:
1. Turn off the hot and cold water faucets.
2. Briefly start a wash cycle to release any
pressure in the fill hoses. Press "Off" to stop
the cycle.
3. Unplug the power supply cord.
4. Remove the "HOT" and "COLD" fill hoses
from the back of the washer. Have a towel
handy to catch spills. If spills occur, dry the
floor prior to pedestal installation.
5. Disconnect the drain hose from the drain
standpipe and drain any water in the hose into
a bucket.
6. Protect the floor with a large piece of card-
board cut from the pedestal carton.
7. Pull the washer away from wall to make
room for the pedestal to be positioned and
position the washer onto the cardboard.
Uninstalling the electric dryer:
1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Or, if
hard wired, disconnect the power supply to
the dryer at the circuit box and then remove
the wire hook up at the dryer.
2. Pull the dryer away from the wall enough to
loosen the vent clamp. Loosen the vent clamp
and carefully remove the exhaust vent from the
dryer exhaust outlet.
3. Protect the floor with a large piece of card-
board cut from the pedestal carton.
4. Pull the dryer away from wall to make room
for the pedestal to be positioned and posi-
tion the dryer onto the cardboard. Go to
" Pedestal Installation".
Uninstalling the gas dryer:
1. Unplug the power supply cord and extinguish
all open flames or smoking materials prior to
proceeding.
2. Turn off the gas supply and disconnect the
gas supply to the dryer.
3. Pull the dryer away from the wall enough to
loosen the vent clamp. Loosen the vent
clamp and carefully remove the exhaust vent
from the dryer exhaust outlet.
4. Protect the floor with a large piece of card-
board cut from the riser carton.
5. Pull the dryer away from wall to make room
for the riser to be positioned and position the
dryer onto the cardboard. Go to
" Riser Installation".
Riser Installation:
1. Locate the plastic bag containing the leveling
legs and locking nuts.
2. Thread one locking nut onto each leveling
leg. Thread the locking nut down on the
threaded leg to within one inch of the foot.
3. Position the riser into the desired location.
Figure 1 & 2
4. Position the rear of the riser a minimum of 5
inches from the wall. This will allow sufficient
room for dryer venting, inlet hoses and drain
hose attachments. This will enable access to
the exhaust system for maintenance as rec-
ommended in the Dryer care & use manual.
