see that nothing (such as boxes, clothing, etc.) obstructs the flow of

combustion and ventilation air through the louvered panel located on the

rear of the dryer.

9. Run the dryer through a cycle check for proper operation.
NOTE: On gas dryers, before the burner will light, it is necessary for the gas line to

be bled of air. If the burner does not light within 45 seconds the first

time

the dryer is turned on, the safety switch will shut the burner off. If this

happens, turn the dryer to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before making

another attempt to light.
