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.
