2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the console panel). Gently 

lay the dryer on the cardboard. See illustration.  

3. Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking. 

4. Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish 

turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.

5. Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each of 

the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on 
the corner posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough 
room to connect the exhaust vent.

1. Using a 4" (102 mm) 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. Check that the vent is secured to exhaust hood 
with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.

2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.

3. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the corner 

posts and cardboard.

The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new 
inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.

1. Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.

2. Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with new 

rubber washer provided. If space permits, attach the brass female 
end of the “Y” connector to the cold water faucet.

NOTE: If “Y” connector can be attached directly to cold water 
faucet, go to Step 6. If “Y” connector cannot be attached 
directly to the cold water faucet, the short hose must be used. 
Continue with Step 3.

3. Attach short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by 

hand until it is seated on faucet. 

4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds

coupling by hand until it is seated on connector.

6. One end of the long hose has a wire mesh strainer inside the 

coupling. Attach this end to the “Y” connector.

7. Attach washer cold inlet hose to other end of “Y” connector. 

Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on connector.

8. Using pliers, tighten the couplings an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

9. Attach other end of long hose to fill valve at bottom of dryer 

back panel. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on fill 
valve connector.
