INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Testing Dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the POWER button to turn
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. 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 until
all the air is purged from the gas line.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the POWER button to turn
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The
exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been
operating for 3 minutes.
Checking Airfl ow
Eff ective dryer operation requires proper airfl ow. The
adequacy of the airfl ow can be measured by evaluating
the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct
can be measured with a manometer, placed on the ex-
haust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer.
Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed
0.6 inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while
the dryer is running with no load.
Checking Levelness
Once the dryer is in its fi nal 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
fi rmly on the fl oor.
Checking Venting
The vent duct should be checked for lint buildup and
cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable
reduction in drying performance occurs, check the duct
for obstructions and blockages.
