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. Be sure the water faucets are on. 5. Check for leaks around "Y" connector, faucet, and hoses. 6. Check the dryer's final location. Be sure the vent is not crushed or kinked. 7. Check that the dryer is level. See "Level Dryer." 8. 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. 9. Remove any film or tape remaining on the dryer. NOTE: Glass door models have a film on the window that should be removed. 10. Read "Dryer Use." 11. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dust. 12. 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. Over time, the buildup of lime scale may clog different parts of the water system, which will reduce product performance. Excessive scale buildup may lead to the need for certain part replacement or repair. 13. Test dryer operation by selecting a Timed Dry heated cycle and starting the dryer. For this test, do not select the Air Only modifier. If the dryer will not start, check the following: ■ Controls are set in a running or "On" position. ■ Start button has been pushed firmly. ■ Dryer is plugged into an outlet and/or electrical supply is on. ■ Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has not tripped. ■ Dryer door is closed. This dryer automatically runs an installation diagnostic routine at the start of its first cycle. If you receive an "L2" code, there may be a problem with your home power supply keeping the dryer's heater from turning on. See "Troubleshooting." If you receive an "AF" code, your dryer vent may be crushed or blocked. See "Troubleshooting." NOTE: You may notice an odor when the dryer is first heated. This odor is common when the heating element is first used. The odor will go away. 18
