The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new
inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.

rubber washer provided. If space permits, attach the brass female
end of the "Y" connector to the cold water faucet.
NOTE: If "Y" connector can be attached directly to cold water
faucet, go to Step 6. If "Y" connector cannot be attached
directly to the cold water faucet, the short hose must be used.
Continue with Step 3.

couplings with an
additional two-thirds turn.

hose. Screw on coupling
by hand until it is seated
on connector.
6. Attach straight end of long
hose to "Y" connector.
7. Attach washer cold inlet
hose to other end of "Y"
connector. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is
seated on connector.

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. Remove the blue protective film on the console and any tape
remaining on the dryer.
7. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to
remove any dust.
8. Read "Dryer Use."
9. For power supply cord installation, plug into a grounded outlet.
For direct wire installation, turn on power.
Steam Models Only:
10. Be sure the water faucets are on.
11. Check for leaks around "Y" connector, faucet, and hoses.
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.
All Models:
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:
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 connected.
Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has
not tripped.
Dryer door is closed.
This dryer automatically runs an installation diagnostic routine at the
start of its first cycle.
If you receive an L2 code, there may be a problem with your
home power supply keeping the dryer's heater from turning on.
See "Troubleshooting."
If you receive an AF code, your dryer vent may be crushed or
blocked. See "Troubleshooting."
NOTE: You may notice an odor when the dryer is first heated.
This odor is common when the heating element is first used.
The odor will go away.
