Install Vent System
1. Position the dryer so that the rear of the dryer is within 4 ft
(1.2 m) of its final location.
2. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
3. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
4. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.
See “Determine vent path” in “Plan Vent System.” Avoid 90º
turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape,
screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior
of the vent to secure vent.
Connect Vent
1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in
dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is
clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet
and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured
to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.
Level Dryer
All four dryer feet were preset to the same height at the factory.
1. Using a ⁹⁄₁₆" (14 mm) open-end wrench, verify that the nuts on
the two rear preset feet are tightened against the cabinet.
2. Slide the dryer to its final location.
3. Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first side to
side, then front to back.
4. If the dryer is not level, move the dryer slightly away from the
wall and first prop the front with a wood block and adjust the
feet as necessary; then prop the back and adjust feet as
necessary. Repeat this step until dryer is level.
5. After the dryer is level, use a ⁹⁄₁₆" (14 mm) open-end wrench
to turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the dryer cabinet.
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. Check the dryer’s final location. Be sure the vent is not
crushed or kinked.
4. Check that the dryer is level. See “Level Dryer.”
5. For power supply cord installation, plug into a grounded
outlet. For direct wire installation, turn on power.
6. Remove any protective film or tape remaining on the dryer.
7. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
8. Set the decorative mat in place on top of the dryer, if desired.
NOTE: Check that the top of the dryer and the bottom of the
mat are clean.
9. Read “Dryer Use.”
10. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to
remove any dust.
11. 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 on.
■ Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has
not tripped.
■ Dryer door is closed.
12. 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. Check that 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.
