Final Installation Check
Once you have completed the installation of the
dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper
operation with the following tests.
Test Dryer Heating
Gas Models
Close the dryer door and press the
Power
button
to turn the dryer on. Turn the knob to select
Timed
Dry
and press the
8
(
OK
) button to start the test.
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 after approximately two minutes.
Electric Models
Close the dryer door and press the
Power
button
to turn the dryer on. Turn the knob to select
Timed
Dry
and press the
8
(
OK
) button to start the test.
The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer
has been operating for 3 minutes.
Checking Airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.
The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by
evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in
the exhaust duct can be measured with a
manometer, placed on the exhaust duct
approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static
pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6
inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while
the dryer is running with no load.
Checking Levelness
Once the dryer is in its final 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 in firm contact with the floor.
Test Exhaust System
Once you have completed the installation of the
appliance, use this test to make sure the condition
of the exhaust system is adequate for proper
operation of the appliance. This test should be
performed to alert you to any serious problems in
the exhaust system of your home.
