INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Step-by-step instructions Note: If a gas dryer is being installed, you will need to call a licensed professional to do the installation. Step 1: Make sure that the floor is a solid, level surface • Use a level to make sure that the floor where you are installing your dryer is level. This helps minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement. Notes: • If the front of your dryer is higher than the rear by more than one degree, it may take longer to dry small loads. You can adjust the dryer feet to level your dryer (Step 3: Connect the exhaust ducting on page 26). • If the floor is not perfectly level, the legs can be adjusted to make your dryer level and stable. Your dryer must be leveled after it is set in place in Step 7: Level your dryer on page 32. Step 2: Move your dryer to the location you selected • Move your dryer to the location you selected, but do not push your dryer all the way in. You need to connect the power cord and ducting before you move your dryer into its final position. Tip: For information about space requirements see Choosing a location on page 9. Step 3: Connect the exhaust ducting Important: Before you connect the exhaust ducting, review ducting requirements in Duct requirements on page 16. WARNING: • Make sure that your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air easily. • Keep ducts as straight as possible. • DO NOT restrict your dryer with a poor exhaust system. • DO NOT use unnecessarily long ducts that have many elbows. • Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including at the dryer. Never use lint-trapping screws. • Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer. Be sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually. • DO NOT use a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct. • DO NOT use sheet metal screws that can accumulate lint when assembling the ducting. Joints should be taped. • DO NOT let the aluminum tape cover the ventilation slots on the back of your dryer. • DO NOT use dented or clogged ducts and vent. 1 Make sure that the exhaust hood flapper or louvers move freely. If you do not have an exhaust hood installed, see Exhaust hood types on page 16 for information about recommended hood types. We recommend that you have a professional install the exhaust hood. 26 www.insigniaproducts.com
