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.
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. Check the dryer’s final location. Be sure the vent is not crushed
or kinked.
5. Check that the dryer is level. See “Level Dryer
.”
6. Remove the
blue film on the console and any tape remaining on
the dryer.
7. Wipe the dry
er drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to
remove any dust.
8. Read “Dryer Use.”
9. Fo
r power supply cord installation, plug into a grounded outlet.
For direct wire installation, turn on power.
Steam Models Only:
10. Be sure the water faucets are on.
11. Ch
eck for leaks around “Y” connector, faucet, and hoses.
12. If you live in a har
d 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.
