3.Once exhaust vent connection is made, remove corner posts and cardboard.

Level Dryer

Check levelness of dryer by placing a level on top of dryer, first side to side, then front to back.

If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for levelness.

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.

Check Operation

1.Check that you:

■■ Did not skip any steps. ■■ Installed all parts.

■■ Properly installed dryer legs. ■■ Leveled dryer.

■■ Have all the tools you started with.

2.Plug power supply cord into grounded outlet or connect direct wire to power supply. Turn power supply on.

3.Read the “Use and Care Guide” to fully understand your new dryer. Select a full heat cycle (not the air cycle) and start dryer. After five minutes, open dryer door. You should feel heat inside dryer.

If the dryer will not start, check the following:

■■ Electrical supply is connected

■■ House fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has not tripped.

■■ Dryer door is closed.

■■ Controls are set in a running or “On” position. ■■ Start button has been pushed firmly.

If dryer makes an unusual noise, check that the dryer is level.
