INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION TEST (DUCT CHECK)
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer,
use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust
system is adequate for proper operation of the dryer.
This test should be performed to alert you to any serious
problems in the exhaust system of your home.
The dryer features Check Vent, an innovative sensing system
that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer
ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of
restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy
use.
NOTE: The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If the
dryer was warmed up during installation, run the Air Dry cycle
for a few minutes to reduce the interior temperature.
To activate the installation test:
1
Remove the drying rack and literature, then close the
dryer door.
Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as it may
aff ect the accuracy of the results.
2
Press the Power button, then immediately press and
hold both the Temp and Chime buttons until
appears in the display.
3
Press the START/PAUSE button.
The dryer will start the test, which lasts about 2 minutes.
The heat is turned on and the temperatures in the drum
are measured.

performance will be poor.
