INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Testing Dryer Heating

1Close the dryer door.

2Press the POWER button to turn the dryer on.

3Turn the cycle selector knob to Normal drying cycle.

4Press the START/PAUSE to start the dryer. After three minutes, open the dryer door and check that the air inside is warm.

NOTE: If the air inside the dryer is not warm after three minutes, there may be air in the gas supply line to the dryer, and the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. When this happens, the igniter will continue to attempt main burner ignition until all air is purged from the line. Once ignition occurs, the air inside the dryer will become warm.

Checking Venting

Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable reduction in drying performance occurs, check duct for obstructions and blockages.
