GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch 

to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat 

setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should 

ignite the main burner.
NOTE: If all air is not purged from the gas line, 

the gas igniter may turn off before the main 

burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will 

reattempt gas ignition after approximately 

two minutes.

ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch 

to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat 

setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the 

dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. 

The adequacy of the airflow can be measured 

by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure 

in the exhaust duct can be measured with 

a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct 

approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. 

Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not 

exceed 0.6 in. (1.5 cm). The dryer should be 

checked while the dryer is running with no load.

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck 

the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is 

level front to back and side to side, and that 

all 4 leveling feet are firmly on the floor. 

Once you have completed the installation of 

the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm 

proper operation with the following tests.

Any installation in a manufactured or mobile 

home must comply with the Manufactured Home 

Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR, 

Part 32-80 or Standard CAN/CSA0Z240 MH and 

local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain 

whether your proposed installation will comply 

with these standards, please contact a service 

and installation professional for assistance.

•  A gas dryer must be permanently attached to 

the fl oor.

•  The electrical connection for an electric dryer 

must be a 4-wire connection. More detailed 

information concerning the electrical connection 

is provided in the section Connecting Electric 

Dryers.

•  To reduce the risk of combustion and fi re, the 

dryer must be vented to the outside.

•  DO NOT vent the dryer under a manufactured 

home or mobile home.

•  Electric dryers may be vented to the outside 

using the back, left, right, or bottom panel.

•  Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using 

the back, left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may 

not be vented to the outside using the right side 

panel because of the burner housing.

•  The dryer exhaust duct must be affi xed securely 

to the manufactured or mobile home structure, 

and the exhaust duct must be made of a 

material that will resist fi re and combustion. 

It is recommended that you use a rigid or 

fl exible metal duct.

•  DO NOT connect the dryer exhaust duct 

to any other duct, vent, chimney, or other 

exhaust duct.

•  Make sure the dryer has adequate access to 

outside fresh air to ensure proper operation. 

The opening for outside fresh air must be at 

least 25 in

2

 (163 cm

2

).

•  It is important that the clearance of the duct 

from any combustible construction be at least 

2 in. (5 cm), and when venting the dryer to 

the outdoors, the dryer can be installed with a 

clearance of 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the sides and back 

of the dryer.

•  Please be aware that venting materials are 

not supplied with the dryer. You should obtain 

the venting materials necessary for proper 

installation.
