Complete Installation Checklist
�
Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part,
go back through steps to see what was skipped.
�
Check that you have all of your tools.
�
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
�
Be sure the water faucets are on.
�
Check for leaks around “Y” connector, faucet, and hoses.
�
Check dryer’s final location. Be sure vent is not crushed or
kinked.
� Check that dryer is level. See “Level Dryer.”
�
Remove film on console and any tape remaining on dryer.
� Wipe dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to
remove any dust.
�
For power supply cord installation, plug into a grounded outlet.
For direct wire installation, turn on power.
�
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.
�
To change the door swing from a right-side opening to a left-
side opening, see online “Dryer Door Reversal Instructions” for
details.
�
Set the heat cycle for 20 minutes, and start dryer. Do not select
Air Only temperature setting.
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.
�
Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has not
tripped.
�
Dryer door is closed.
�
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 dryer, and check the
following:
�
There may be 2 household fuses or circuit breakers for the
dryer. Check that 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 an odor when dryer is first heated. This
odor is common when heating element is first used. The odor
will go away.
If your Airflow screen reads “Check Vent,” your dryer vent may
be crushed or blocked.
