Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving to
avoid damaging floor covering.
1. Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation
location.
2. Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove
the literature and parts packages. Wipe the interior of the
drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
3. Take two of the cardboard corners from the carton and place
them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body
of the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard
corners.
4. With one of the legs in hand, check the ridges for a diamond
marking. That's how far the leg is supposed to go into the
hole.
5. Start to screw the leveling legs into the holes by hand. (Use a
small amount of liquid detergent to lubricate the screw
threads so it is easier to turn the legs.) Use a 1" (25 mm)
wrench or socket wrench to finish turning the legs until you
reach the diamond mark. Then fit a protective foot boot over
each foot.
Now stand the dryer up.
6. Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the
legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.
1. Using a 102 mm (4") clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is
clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet
and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured
to exhaust hood with a 102 mm (4") clamp.
2. Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent.
Make sure dryer is level.
;i
1. With dryer in final position, place level on top of the dryer, first
side to side; then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust
the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.
2. Switch on power supply.
3. Check dryer operation (some accumulated time may be on
the timer due to factory testing).
Insert coins in slide and press slide in slowly. (Operating time
will accumulate per number of coins and type of timing cam
used.) Push START/RESTART button. Using a full heat cycle
(not the air cycle), let the dryer run for at least five minutes.
Dryer will stop when time is used up.
NOTE: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate. When
door is open, dryer stops, but timer continues to run. To
restart dryer, close door and push START/RESTART button.
4. If drying time is too long, make sure lint screen is clean.
5. Now start the dryer and allow it to complete a full heat cycle
(not air cycle) to make sure it is working properly.
