Installation
STEP 5 Power on (for gas models)
Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then, plug the power
cord into a power source and check the dryer's installation and operation using the final checklist in Step 7
below.
STEP 6 Final Check
When installation is complete, confirm that:
• The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
• The exhaust ductwork is connected, and the joints are taped.
• You have used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct.
• The dryer is level and is sitting firmly on the floor.
• The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.
• The gas is supplied properly with no leaks (For gas models only).
CAUTION
The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting
will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be
sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.
Exhaust ducting guide (Not applicable to ventless (heat pump) models)
Ducting
1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection.
Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.
Cleaning
Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. We
recommend that you to clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.
WARNING
• To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible ducts of any kind.
• Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer's performance.
• Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
• Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.
