  Check that you have all of your tools.

  Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

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

or kinked.

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

  Remove film on console and any tape remaining on dryer.

  Wipe dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to 

remove any dust.

20 minutes and start the dryer.

not tripped.

whether gas supply line shut-off valve is open.

then repeat the 5-minute test as outlined above.

 

If the gas supply line shut-off valve is open, contact a

This odor is common when the heating element is first used.
