PACKING Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers causing suffocation. Place all materials in a garbage container or make materials inaccessible to children. GENERAL INSTALLATION 1. Connect the exhaust duct to outside exhaust system (see pages 3 and 4). Use duct tape to seal all joints. 2. With the dryer in its final position, adjust one or more of the legs until the dryer is resting solid on all four legs. Place a level on top of the dryer. The dryer MUST be level and resting solid on all four legs. 3. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. NOTE: Check to ensure the power is off at circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into the outlet. 4. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box. Before operating the dryer, make sure the dryer area is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors. Also see that nothing (such as boxes, clothing, etc.) obstructs the flow of combustion and ventilation air. 5. Run the dryer through a cycle check for proper operation. NOTE: On gas dryers, before the burner will light, it is necessary for the gas line to be bled of air. If the burner does not light within 45 seconds the first time the dryer is turned on, the safety switch will shut the burner off. If this happens, turn the timer to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before making another attempt to light. 6. If your dryer does not operate, please review the "Avoid Service Checklist" located in your Use and Care Guide before calling for service. 7. Place these instructions in a location near the dryer for future reference. 8.
