There are many methods by which your gas dryer can be

for two different methods of connection.

This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with a 

listed flexible gas connector that complies with the standard for 

connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10.

Examine leveling legs and find diamond marking. Screw legs 

into leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning legs 

until diamond marking is no longer visible.

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

close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the 

exhaust vent.

Gas dryers must be securely fastened to the floor.

Mobile home installations require a Mobile Home Installation 

Hold-down Kit. For ordering information please reference the
