2.  Grip dryer from top and rock back and forth, making sure all four 

legs are firmly on floor. Repeat, rocking dryer from side to side.  

If dryer rocks, go to Step 3 and adjust leveling legs.

3.  If dryer is not level, use a 1" or 25 mm open-end or adjustable 

wrench to turn the leveling leg counterclockwise to lower the 

dryer or clockwise to raise the dryer. Recheck levelness of dryer 

and that all four legs are firmly in contact with the floor. Repeat 

as needed.

HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of dryer about 4" 

(102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will support 

weight of dryer.

1.  Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the 

correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding 

method. See “Electrical Requirements.”

2.  Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part,  

go back through the steps.

3.  Check that you have all of your tools.
4.  Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

5. Plug into a grounded outlet, or connect power.

6.  Check dryer operation:

Models with Electronic Display: 

Close dryer door. Set the cycle. Operating time will accumulate 

per number of coins.
Mechanical Models: 

Some accumulated time may be on the timer due to factory 

testing. Close dryer door. Turn timer-set knob to the right. 

(Operating time will accumulate per number of depressions and 

type of timing cam used.) Push START button. 
Using a full heat cycle (not the air cycle), let the dryer run for at 

least five minutes. Dryer will stop when time is used up. Make 

sure the dryer turns off.
NOTE: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate. When 

door is open, dryer stops, but timer continues to run. To restart 

dryer, close door and push START button (mechanical models 

only).

7.  Open the dryer door. Check that the inside of the dryer is warm. 

If the burner does not ignite and you can feel no heat inside the 

dryer, shut off dryer for five minutes. Check that all supply valve 

controls are in “ON” position and that the electrical cord  

is plugged in. Repeat five-minute test.

8.  If drying time is too long, make sure that the lint screen is clean 

and that there are no obstructions to airflow in the dryer vent 

system.

9.  Restart the dryer and allow it to complete a full heat cycle  

(not air cycle) to make sure it is working properly.
