Be sure vent is not crushed or kinked. q Check that dryer is level. See "Level Dryer". q Remove film on console and any tape remaining on dryer. q Wipe dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dust. q Read "Dryer Use" in your "Use and Care Guide". q 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.
