Installation

English

STEP 6 

Power on (Gas models)

Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then, 
plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer’s installation and operation 
using the final checklist in Step 7 below.

STEP 7 

Final check

When installation is complete, confirm that:
•  The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
•  The exhaust ductwork is connected and the joints are taped.
•  You have used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct.
•  The dryer is level and is sitting firmly on the floor.
•  The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.

For gas models:

•  The gas is supplied properly with no leaks.

CAUTION

The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to 
operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, 
turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been 
turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

Vent blockage test

After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is 
properly installed. The Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts 
and reports any blockage or problems. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save 
energy.

NOTE

The Vent Blockage Test must run with the dryer in a cool state. If the dryer warms up 
after the installation check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its 
internal temperature.

Running the vent blockage test

1. 

Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door. 

(If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, the test will not give accurate 
results.)
