Closet doors
must have ventilation
openings
at the top and
bottom
of the door. The front of the dryer
requires
a minimum
of
1" (25 ram) of airspace,
and, for most installations,
the rear of the
dryer
requires
5" (127 ram). See the Installation
Instructions.
Level the dryer. See the Installation
Instructions.
All four dryer feet
should
be in firm contact
with the floor.

a Steam
Refresh cycle of 1 or 2 items you can
add a towel
to the load to help avoid
uneven spraying
from the
steam valve.
Then select the appropriate
time based
