26 INSTALLATION

Final Installation Check

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer
and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation
with the following tests and Installation Test (Duct
Check).
Testing Dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/
Pause buttons to start the test. When the dryer starts,
the igniter should ignite the main burner.
NOTE
• If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas
igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If
this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition
after approximately two minutes.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/
Pause buttons to start the test. The exhaust air
should be warm after the dryer has been operating
for 3 minutes.
Checking Airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.
The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by
evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the
exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer,
placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft.
(60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the
exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inch (1.5 cm).
The dryer should be checked while the dryer is
running with no load.
Checking Levelness
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the
dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front
to back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet
are in firm contact with the floor.
