INITIAL STEPS FOR INSTALLING YOUR DRYER
STEP 6: Preparation of the Dryer.
STEP 8: Dryer Airflow.
Prior to the first use of this appliance, use all
purpose cleaning products or a solution of detergent
and water, with damp clothes to remove from the
inside of the dryer drum/drying compartment any
dust or dirt that may have accumulated the inside of
the dryer. Plug in your dryer after reviewing the
following parts on your dryer’s Electrical
Requirements.
Effective dryer operation requires appropriate dryer
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
inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked with
the dryer running with no load.

the operating instructions that accompany the dryer.
After the dryer starts, the igniter will glow red and

Warning: If all air is not purged from the gas line,
the gas igniter may go off before the gas and the
main burner have ignited. If this happens, the
igniter will re-attempt gas ignition after
approximately two minutes.
