or kinked.

  For power supply cord installation, plug into a grounded  

 

outlet. For direct wire installation, turn on Power.

q

  If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is    

 

recommended to control the buildup of scale through the    

 

water system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime  

 

scale may clog different parts of the water system, which will  

 

reduce product performance. Excessive scale buildup may  

 

lead to the need for certain part replacement or repair.

  Select a Time Dry heated cycle, and start dryer. Do not select  

 

Air Only Temperature setting.

      If 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 an outlet and/or electrical

 

  supply.

  has not tripped.

This dryer automatically runs an installation diagnostic routine  

at the start of its first cycle.

You may notice an odor when dryer is first heated. This 

odor is common when heating element is first used. The odor 

will go away. 

If dryer is not level, prop up using a wood block, use wrench  

to adjust legs up or down, and check again for levelness. 

Once legs are level, make sure all four legs are snug against 

the floor before tightening them.
