Install Leveling Legs
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1.To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge of the dryer. See illustration.
2.Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the console panel). Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard.
3.Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.
4.Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.
5.Place a carton corner post under each of the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.
6.Once connection is made and dryer is in final location, remove corner posts and cardboard.
Level Dryer
Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness 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.
NOTE: It might be necessary to level the dryer again after it has been moved into its final position.
Connect Vent
1.Using a 4 in. (10.2 cm) 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 4 in. (10.2 cm) clamp.
2.Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.
3.(On gas models) Check to be sure there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.
Complete Installation
1.Check to be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.
2.Check to be sure you have all of your tools.
3.Dispose of all packaging materials.
4.Check the dryer’s final location. Be sure the vent is not crushed or kinked.
5.Check to be sure the dryer is level. See “Level Dryer.”
6.Plug into a grounded outlet. Turn power on.
7.Remove the blue protective film on the console and any tape remaining on the dryer.
8.Read “Dryer Use.”
9.Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
10.Set the dryer on a full heat cycle (not an air cycle) for 20 minutes and start the dryer.
If the dryer will not start, check the following:
■Controls are set in a running or “On” position.
■Start button has been pushed firmly.
■Dryer is plugged into a grounded outlet.
■Electrical supply is connected.
■House fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has not tripped.
■Dryer door is closed.
11.When the dryer has been running for 5 minutes, open the dryer door and feel for heat.
If you do not feel heat, turn the dryer off and check the following:
■There may be 2 fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Check to make sure both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit breakers have not tripped. If there is still no heat, contact a qualified technician.
NOTE: You may notice a burning odor when the dryer is first heated. This odor is common when the heating element is first used. The odor will go away.
