Examine leveling legs. Using a wrench, screw legs into leg 

holes until foot flange touches the base. Foot is fully installed 

when bottom of foot is approximately 1/2" (13 mm) from 

bottom of dryer.

Now stand the dryer on its legs. Slide the dryer until it is 

close to its final location. Leave enough room for electrical 

connection and to connect the exhaust vent.

To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard 

from dryer carton; place under entire dryer. Firmly grasp 

dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay dryer down on 

cardboard.

IMPORTANT: If laying dryer on its back, use the cardboard 

corner posts the dryer was packed with to avoid damaging 

the back of the dryer. Lay the dryer on its side if you do not 

have the cardboard corner posts the dryer was packed with.
