COMPLETE INSTALLATION 

CHECKLIST

  Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra  

part, go back through steps to see what was skipped.

  Check that you have all of your tools.

q

  Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

q

  Be sure the water faucets are on.

q

  Check for leaks around “Y” connector, faucets, and hoses.

  Check dryer’s final location. Be sure vent is not crushed  

or kinked.

  Check that dryer is level. See “Level Dryer.”

q

  Remove film on console and any tape remaining on dryer.

  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.
