Leave enough room to connect exhaust vent. Remove
cardboard or hardboard from under dryer.

top of dryer, first side to side, then front to back. If
dryer is not level, adjust dryer legs up or down.
If legs are not long enough to level dryer, order
Extended Dryer Feet Kit, Part No. 279810 (sold two
legs per kit), from your dealer.
