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 from dryer packaging 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.

Connect Vent

1. Using a 4" (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" (10.2 cm) clamp.

2. Move dryer into its final position. Do not crush or kink vent.

3. (On gas models) Check to be sure there are no kinks in the

flexible gas line.

4. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the

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.

Complete Installation

1. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part,

go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

2. Check that you have all of your tools.

3. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

4. Check the dryer's final location. Be sure the vent is not

crushed or kinked.

5. Check that the dryer is level. See "Level Dryer."

6. For power supply cord installation, plug into an outlet. For

direct wire installation, turn on power.

7. Remove the blue protective film on the console and any tape

remaining on the dryer.

8. Read "Dryer Use" in the Dryer User Instructions.

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 an outlet and/or electrical supply

is on.

Household 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 feel heat, cancel cycle and

close the door.

If you do not feel heat, turn off the dryer and check the

following:

There may be 2 household 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.
