1.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.

2.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.

3.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.

4.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-inch wrench or socket wrench to finish turning the legs until you reach the diamond mark.

Now stand the dryer up.

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

5.Remove the service door of the meter case. Lift

the service door up at the back and remove. Install money- accepting device. (Refer to manufaturer's

instructions for proper installation.)

For dryers using coin slides, use adapter kit supplied with dryer.

Replace the meter case service door. Put the coin vault with lock and key the meter case opening.

6.Move dryer close to final position. Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer.

7.Remove red cap from gas pipe. Carefully move dryer into 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.

8.Connect gas supply to dryer. Use pipe-joint compound resistant to the action of L.P. gas for gas connections. If flexible metal tubing is used, be certain there are no kinks.

If necessary for service, open the toe panel, use a putty knife to press on the toe panel lock located at the center top of the toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to open. Toe panel is hinged at the bottom.

9.Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.

10.Use a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to check for leaks. Bubbles around connections will indicate a leak. NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH A FLAME. If a leak appears, shut off gas valve controls and adjust connections. Then check connections again. Close toe panel. All connections must be wrench- tightened.

11.To exhaust dryer, see Exhaust requirements, Pages 3-4. Connect exhaust vent system to dryer exhaust outlet and exhaust hood using 4"

(10.2 cm) clamps. Use caulking to seal exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

12.Carefully move dryer into 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.

13.Plug power supply cord into grounded outlet.

14.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/RESTART button.

15.If the burner does not ignite and you can feel no heat inside the dryer, shut off dryer for five minutes. Check that all supply valve controls are in "ON" position and that the electrical cord is plugged in. Repeat five-minute test.

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