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," page 2-22.
6. In the U.S.A.
• For power supply cord installation,
plug into a grounded outlet. For direct
wire installation, turn on power.
In Canada:
• Plug into a grounded 4 prong outlet.
Turn on power.
7. Remove any protective film or tape re-
maining on the dryer.
NOTE: Glass door models have a pro-
tective film on the window that should be
removed.
8. Read "Dryer Use," page 3-1.
9. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly
with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
10. Test dryer operation by selecting a Timed
Dry heated cycle, and starting the dryer.
For this test, do not select the Air Fluff
modifier.
If the dryer will not start, check the fol-
lowing:
• Controls are set in a running or "On"
position.
• Start button has been pushed firmly.
• Dryer is plugged into a grounded outlet
and/or electrical supply is on.
• Household fuse is intact and tight, or
circuit breaker has not tripped.
• Dryer door is closed.
11. Electric Models Only: When the dryer
has been running for 5 minutes, open the
dryer door and feel for heat. If you feel
heat, cancel cycle and close the door.
If you do not feel heat, turn off the dry-
er and check the following:
• There may be 2 household fuses or cir-
cuit breakers for the dryer. Check that
both fuses are intact and tight, or that
both circuit breakers have not tripped.
If there is still no heat, contact a quali-
fied technician.
NOTE: You may notice an odor when the dry-
er is first heated. This odor is common when
the heating element is first used. The odor will
go away.
12. Gas Models Only: When the dryer has
been running for 5 minutes, open the dry-
er door and feel for heat. If you feel heat,
cancel cycle and close door. If you do not
feel heat, turn off the dryer and check to
see that the gas supply line shutoff valve
is open.
• If the gas supply line shutoff valve is
closed, open it, then repeat the 5-min-
ute test as outlined above.
• If the gas supply line shutoff valve is
open, contact a qualified technician.
