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. Plug into a grounded outlet. Turn on power.

7. Remove the clear protective film on the front edge and any 

tape remaining on the dryer.

8. Read “Dryer Use.”

9. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to 

remove any dust.

10. Set the dryer on a full heat cycle (not an air cycle) for 

20 minutes and start the dryer.

If the dryer will not start, check the following:

Controls are set in a running or “On” position.

Start button has been pushed firmly.

Dryer is plugged into a grounded outlet and/or electrical 
supply is connected.

Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has 
not tripped.

Dryer door is closed.

11. When the dryer has been running for 5 minutes, open the 

dryer door and feel for heat. If you feel heat, cancel cycle and 
close the door.

If you do not feel heat, turn off the dryer and check the 
following:

There may be 2 household fuses or circuit breakers for the 
dryer. Make sure both fuses are intact and tight, or that both 
circuit breakers have not tripped. If there is still no heat, 
contact a qualified technician.

NOTE: You may notice a burning odor when the dryer is first 
heated. This odor is common when the heating element is first 
used. The odor will go away.
