Installation Check List - Kenmore 592-89032 Use & Care Manual

Installation Check List

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. Be sure the water faucets are on.
5. Check for leaks around "Y"-connector, faucet and hoses.
6. Check the dryer's final location. Be sure the vent is not
crushed or kinked.
7. Check that the dryer is level. See "Level Dryer."
8. For power supply cord installation, plug into an outlet.
9. Remove the blue protective film on the door and any tape
remaining on the dryer.
10. Read "Dryer Use."
11. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to
remove any dust.
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.
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.
NOTE: You may notice a burning odor when the dryer is first
heated. This odor is common when the heating element is first
used. The odor will go away.

Gas Requirements (GAS MODEL ONLY)
Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.
THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES,
OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES WITH THE CAN/
CGAB149 INSTALLATION CODES.
Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with
natural gas. If you plan to use your dryer with LP (liquid
propane) gas, it must be converted for safe and proper
performance by a qualified service technician.
A 1/2" (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be
reduced to connect to the 3/8" (1 cm) gas line on your dryer.
The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an accessible,
approved manual gas shut-off valve be installed within 6' of
your dryer. Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be
raised 18" (46 cm) above the floor.
Additionally, a 1/8" (0.3 cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread)
plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must
be installed immediately upstream of your dryer's gas supply
connection.
Your Dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe
system during any pressure testing of the system.
DO NOT reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines
must be design certified by the American Gas Association
(CGA in Canada).
■ Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the
action of any liquefied petroleum gas.
■ As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas
appliance installation.
GAS IGNITION : Your Dryer uses an automatic ignition
system to ignite the burner. There is no constant burning pilot.
