Level Dryer Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first side to side, then front to back. If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for levelness. NOTE: It might be necessary to level the dryer again after it has been moved into its final position. Make Gas Connection 1. Remove the red cap from the gas pipe. Move the dryer close to its final position. 2. Using a wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the dryer. Use pipe joint compound on all non-flared male threads. If flexible metal tubing is used, be sure there are no kinks. NOTE: For L.P. gas connections, you must use pipe joint compound resistant to the action of L.P. gas. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the dryer to the existing gas line. Shown following is a recommended connection. Your connection may be different, according to the supply line type, size and location. D A B C A. ³⁄₈" flexible gas connector B. ³⁄₈" dryer pipe C. ³⁄₈" to ³⁄₈" pipe elbow D. ³⁄₈" pipe-to-flare adapter fitting 3. Open the shutoff valve in the supply line. The valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe. A B Connect Vent 1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp. 2. Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level. 3. (On gas models) Check to be sure there are no kinks in the flexible gas line. Complete Installation 1. Check to be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped. 2. Check to be sure you have all of your tools. 3. Dispose of all packaging materials. 4. Check the dryer's final location. Be sure the vent is not crushed or kinked. 5. Check to be sure the dryer is level. See "Level Dryer." 6. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Turn power on. 7. Remove the blue protective film on the console and any tape remaining on the dryer. 8. Read "Dryer Use." 9. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dust. 10. Set the dryer on a full heat cycle (not an air cycle) for 20 minutes and start the dryer. If the dryer will not start, check the following: s Dryer is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet. s Electrical supply is connected. s House fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has not tripped. s Dryer door is closed. 11. When the dryer has been running for 5 minutes, open the dryer door and feel for heat. If you do not feel heat, turn the dryer off and check to see that the gas supply line shutoff valve is open. s If the gas supply line shutoff valve is closed, open it, then repeat the 5-minute test as outlined above. s If the gas supply line shutoff valve is open, contact a qualified technician. A. Closed valve B. Open valve 4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leak found. 12
