INSTALLATION
LOCATION
1.
Examine the dryer after unpacking. Check for damage such as a misaligned or broken door or dents in
the cavity. If any damage is visible, DO NOT install, and notify your dealer immediately.
2.
Check to ensure that you have the wall-mounting kit and four (4) leveling legs.
3.
Install the dryer on a flat, level surface. If the surface is uneven, adjust the leveling legs. If you are going to
wall mount your dryer, use the included wall-mounting kit.
4.
Install the dryer away from direct sunlight; direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating, plastic and
electrical components. The room temperature should not fall below 32'F.
5.
Check the ventilation. DO NOT block the air vents, especially when the dryer is installed on a carpeted
floor. If the air vents are blocked during operation, the dryer may overheat and eventually fail. For proper
ventilation, allow at least 5 inches of space between the dryer top, sides, rear, and adjacent surfaces. Ensure
adequate space for ventilation.
It is recommended that the unit be vented outdoors. (Ventilation Kit not included.)
6.
Install the dryer away from heating appliances and water taps. Keep the dryer away from heat, steam, or
splashing liquids. Never splash water onto the control panel. These things can adversely affect the wiring
and electrical conduction contacts of the dryer.
7.
Check the power supply.
a)
Check your local power source. The dryer requires a current of approximately 12 Amperes, 120 Volts,
and a 60 Hz grounded outlet.
b)
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Ensure that the dryer does not stand on its power cord.
c)
Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord is used:
•
The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
the very least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance.
•
The extension cord must be a grounding type, 3-wire cord.
•
A longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
appliance where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
d)
Plug the dryer into a properly installed receptacle box that is fully grounded.
DO NOT under any circumstances modify, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power
cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician or an authorized service center.
