Open dryer and remove the literature and parts packages. Wipe the interior of the drum thoroughly with a damp cloth. 3, Take two of the cardboard corners from the carton and place them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners. 4, With one of the legs in hand, check the ridges for a diamond marking. That's how far the leg is supposed to go into the hole. 5, Start to screw the leveling legs into the holes by hand. (Use a small amount of liquid detergent to lubricate the screw threads so it is easier to turn the legs.) Use a 1-inch wrench or socket wrench to finish turning the legs until you reach the diamond mark. Now stand the dryer up. 6, Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. 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. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp. 2, Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent.

Toe panel is hinged at the bottom. 3, Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. 4, Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leak found. 2, Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. 3, Check dryer operation (some accumulated time may be on the timer due to factory testing). Pull timer-set button left. (Operating time will accumulate per number of depressions and type of timing cam used.) Push START/RESTART button. Using a full heat cycle (not the air cycle), let the dryer run for at least five minutes. NOTE: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate. When door is open, dryer stops, but timer continues to run. To restart dryer, close door and push START/RESTART button. 4, If the burner does not ignite and you can feel no heat inside the dryer, shut off dryer for five minutes.
