INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
How to install your dryer
Now that you’ve unpacked your dryer, check
to be sure you have removed the parts bag
from the drum. Remove the tape that holds
the drum to the cabinet. Move the drum by
hand to make certain all tape has been
removed. Next, wipe the interior of the drum
thoroughly with a damp cloth before using
the dryer.
Installation
For most jobs all you need are a level, duct
tape, an adjustable wrench, and a screw-
driver. All the parts you need are packed in
the appliance. When you take them out,
place them on a cloth so you won’t lose
them. Do not move appliance into the exact
location until the following steps have been
performed.
Installing the cord bracket
Remove tape from the power cord and the
rear panel
Insert cord brackets into slotted holes in
rear panel and secure with screws provided

around the brackets for storage convenience
when dryer is not in use.
