Once the dryer is the same height as the washer, follow the directions above to level the dryer. • Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate. English 29 Installation STEP 6 Power on (for gas models) Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then, plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer's installation and operation using the final checklist in Step 7 below. STEP 7 Final Check When installation is complete, confirm that: • The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly. • The exhaust ductwork is connected, and the joints are taped. • You have used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct. • The dryer is level and is sitting firmly on the floor. • The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly. • The gas is supplied properly with no leaks (For gas models only). n CAUTION 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. To confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat. `! Vent blockage test After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is properly installed. The Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts and reports any blockage or problems. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save energy. •NOTE The Vent Blockage Test must run when the dryer is cool. If the dryer warms up after the installation check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature. 30 English ssf Running the vent blockage test 1. Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door. (If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, the test will not give accurate results.) 2. Press the Power button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the Adjust Time ^ and Dryness buttons for 3 seconds. "InS" appears in the dryer's display. (If you have started other procedures before the Vent Blockage Test, the dryer will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.) 3. Press the Start/Pause (Hold to Start) button. The Vent Blockage Test starts immediately. During the test, the number indicator makes a circle in 6 clockwise steps. The test takes about 2 minutes. Do not open the door during the test. 4. After 2 minutes, when the test is complete, the results are displayed and the dryer sounds a tone. If status of the duct system is normal, "0" appears and the dryer sounds a completion tone. If the duct system cannot exhaust properly, the check code appears, and the dryer sounds an alarm tone. For description about the code, see the "Installation check codes" section on page 32. If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display. For description about the code, see the "Information codes" section on page 55. o� (; - To stop or cancel the Vent Blockage Test, press the Power button to turn off your /; dryer. - The results remain on the display for about 5 minutes and then automatically turn off. You can turn the results off immediately by pressing the Power button. ®NOTE • During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns. The Vent Blockage Test is used to check for problems in the current duct system when the dryer is installed for the first time. • If the test result displays check code (the duct system is blocked ), refer to the "Ducting requirements" section on page 15 and the "Exhaust ducting guide" section below, and then take proper measures to correct any problems. If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results.
