WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

8.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Turn on power.

9.Remove any protective film or tape remaining on the dryer.

10.Read “Dryer Use.”

11.Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

12.If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is recommended to control the buildup of scale through the water system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime scale may clog different parts of the water system which will reduce product performance. Excessive scale buildup may lead to the need for certain part replacement or repair.

13.Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and start the dryer. Do not select the Air Only Temperature setting.

If the dryer will not start, check the following:

Dryer is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Electrical supply is connected.

Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has not tripped.

Dryer door is closed.

14.When the dryer has been running for 5 minutes, open the dryer door and feel for heat. If you feel heat, cancel cycle and close door. If you do not feel heat, turn off the dryer and check that the gas supply line shutoff valve is open.

If the gas supply line shutoff valve is closed, open it, then repeat the 5-minute test as outlined above.

If the gas supply line shutoff valve is open, contact a qualified technician.
