INSTALLATION
Final Installation Check
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer
and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation
with the following tests and the Installation Test (Duct
Check) on the following page.
testing dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.
When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main
burner.
NOTE
If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter
may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this
happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after
approximately two minutes.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The
exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been
operating for 3 minutes.
checking airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.
The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by
evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the
exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer,
placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm)
from the dryer.
Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6
inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the
dryer is running with no load.
checking levelness
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer
to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level from front to
back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet are
firmly on the floor.
