The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:
1.Read ALL “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer.

3.Check to ensure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer data label.
4.The sail switch damper assembly was installed and adjusted at the factory prior to shipping. However, each sail switch adjustment must be checked to ensure that this important safety control is functioning. (Refer to sail switch adjustment on page 28.)

6.Be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position.
7.Check ALL back guard panels and service box covers have been replaced.

10.Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to ensure that they are ALL tight.
11.Check vent is connected to the dryer and is exhausted to the outdoors.
12.There should be a source of fresh air entering the room. This source should not be near where the dryers exhaust to the outside.
