STEP 5 Level the dryer
To ensure that the dryer provides the optimal drying performance, it must be leveled. To minimize
vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.
- Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet
more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.
STEP 6 Power on
Make sure all gas connections (Gas Models only), exhaust and electrical connections are
complete. Plug in your dryer.
STEP 7 Final check
- Make sure the dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and is properly grounded.
- The exhaust ductwork is hooked up and the joints are taped.
- A plastic flexible duct in NOT used.
- Use rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal vent material.
- The dryer is leveled and is sitting firmly on the floor.
- Gas models - the gas is turned on with no gas leakage.
- Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.
WARNING
The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a
heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and
wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. In order to confirm the
gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.
