or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
appliance must be equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system or an equipment-grounding conductor must be
run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
Electric shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded.

manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust
requirements are provided on the following pages.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic
cycle. This can result in longer drying times. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or
weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1 inch (2.5 cm), install the Extended Dryer
Feet Kit. Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.
• For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18
inches (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.
Clearances
INSTALLATION SPACING FOR RECESSED AREA OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0 inches (0 cm) clearance on
the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be considered for the following reasons:
There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of vibration from one to the
other. Too much vibration, it could cause them to make noise or touch each other causing paint damage and making even more noise.
• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer
must be exhausted to the outdoors.
See 
• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (61 cm) of either
side of the dryer. See 
• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lbs (90.7
kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also
be considered.
• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same
closet as a dryer.
• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation
and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor
moldings.
• Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the dryer
to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings
in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors
with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

cause serious injury or death.
To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance,
it must be level. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted
movement, the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.
1. Position the dryer in the final location. Place a level across the
top of the dryer.
• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Gently push
on the top corners of the dryer to make sure that the dryer does
not rock from corner to corner.
If you are installing the dryer on the optional pedestal, you must
use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the dryer. The dryer
leveling feet should be fully retracted.
2. Use an adjustable wrench to turn the leveling feet. Turn
clockwise to raise the dryer or counterclockwise to lower it.
Raise or lower the leveling feet until dryer is level from side to
side and front to back.
Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.

Leveling Feet
NOTE
Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the
dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can
cause the dryer to vibrate.

Venting the dryer (cont.)
Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow. It is not recommended
to use more than four 90° elbows.
ROUTING AND CONNECTING DUCTWORK
Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying performance and
reduce lint buildup and condensation in the ductwork.
Ductwork and fittings are NOT included and must be purchased
separately.
• Use 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or semirigid metal ductwork.
• The exhaust duct run should be as short as possible.
• Use as few elbow joints as possible.
• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must point away from
the dryer.
• Use duct tape on all duct joints.
• Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas in order to
reduce condensation and lint buildup on duct surfaces.
• Failure to exhaust the dryer correctly will void the dryer’s warranty.

Connecting the gas supply
1. Make sure that the gas supply to the laundry room is turned
OFF. Confirm that the type of gas available in your laundry room
is appropriate for the dryer. The dryer is prepared for Natural
Gas with a
3
⁄₈ - inch NPT gas connection.
2. Remove the shipping cap from the gas connection at the back
of the dryer. Be careful not to damage the threads of the gas
connector when removing the shipping cap.
3. Connect the dryer to your laundry room’s gas supply using a
new flexible stainless steel connector with a
3
⁄₈ - inch NPT fitting.
4. Securely tighten all connections between the dryer and your
laundry room’s gas supply. Turn on your laundry room’s gas
supply and check all pipe connections (both internal and
external) for gas leaks with a noncorrosive leak-detection fluid.
