INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – ELECTRIC DRYER

Install Leveling Legs

Connect Vent

NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving to avoid damaging floor covering.

1.Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation location.

2.Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove the literature and parts packages. Wipe the interior of the drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3.Take two of the cardboard corners from the carton and place them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.

4.With one of the legs in hand, check the ridges for a diamond marking. That’s how far the leg is supposed to go into the hole.

5.Start to screw the leveling legs into the holes by hand. (Use a small amount of liquid detergent to lubricate the screw threads so it is easier to turn the legs.) Use a 1" (25 mm) wrench or socket wrench to finish turning the legs until you reach the diamond mark. Then fit a protective foot boot over each foot.

Now stand the dryer up.

6.Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

1.Using a 102 mm (4") clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 102 mm (4") clamp.

2.Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

Complete Installation

1.With dryer in final position, place level on top of the dryer, first side to side; then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

2.Switch on power supply.

3.Check dryer operation (some accumulated time may be on the timer due to factory testing).

Insert coins in slide and press slide in slowly. (Operating time will accumulate per number of coins and type of timing cam used.) Push START/RESTART button. Using a full heat cycle (not the air cycle), let the dryer run for at least five minutes.

Dryer will stop when time is used up.

NOTE: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate. When door is open, dryer stops, but timer continues to run. To restart dryer, close door and push START/RESTARTbutton.

4.If drying time is too long, make sure lint screen is clean.

5.Now start the dryer and allow it to complete a full heat cycle (not air cycle) to make sure it is working properly.
