9. (GAS MODELS ONLY- DV448AGW, DV448AGP, DV448AGE )
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. In order to confirm gas ignition,
check the exhaust for heat.
