STEP 6 Power on (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.
For gas models:
•The gas is supplied properly with no leaks.
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 duct and reports any blockage or problems to the user. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save energy.
NOTE
The Vent Blockage Test must run at cool state. If the dryer warms up after the installation check, run the Air Fluff cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature.
Operation method
1.Make sure the drum is empty and close the door.
(If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, a correct test can not be made.)
2.Press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the
Cycle 1 + Wrinkle Prevent buttons for 3 seconds.
When entering the Vent Blockage Test, “InS” appears in the display.
(If other procedures are started before entering the Vent Blockage Test, the dryer does not enter the Vent Blockage Test.)

3.The Vent Blockage Test starts immediately after pressing the START/PAUSE button. During the test, the number indicator makes a circle in 6 steps clockwise.
The test takes about 2 minutes. Do not open the door during the test.
4.After 2 minutes, if the test has completed, the result is displayed and a tone is given. If status of the duct system is normal, “0” appears and a completion sound is given.
If the duct system can not exhaust properly, “CLg” appears and an alarm sound is given. In case of any other problem, an information code appears. Check the information codes in this manual.
•To stop or cancel the Vent Blockage Test, press the POWER button to turn off your dryer.
•During the test, if “dc” appears, make sure the door is closed. If “C1” is displayed, make sure the drum has laundry inside.
•The result displays for about 5 minutes and then automatically turns off. You may turn the result directly off 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 to the current duct system when the dryer is installed for the first time.
•If the test result displays “CLg” (the duct system is blocked ), refer to “Ducting requirements” and “Exhaust ducting guide” section of this manual and take proper measures for drying.
If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results. Follow the proper procedures when testing the dryer.
•Even if the test result is normal (“0”), the duct system could be blocked slightly. Properly install all duct work according to the installation instructions of this manual.
Exhaust ducting guide
Ducting
1.Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
2.Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection. Never use lint-trapping screws.
3.To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.
Cleaning
Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. We recommend that you to clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.

Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer.
Sort and load
•Put one wash load in the dryer at a time.
•Do not mix heavy and lightweight items together.
•To improve drying efficiency for one or two items, add a dry towel to the load.
•For best results, untangle items before inserting them into the dryer.
Functional prerequisite
Lint filter
A
•Overloading reduces the tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying and wrinkling.
•Unless recommended on the care label, do not dry woolens or fiberglass items.
•Avoid drying unwashed items.
•Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol, gasoline, etc.
To prevent a risk of fire, make sure to clean the lint filter before or after every load.
1.Turn off the dryer.
2.Open the door, and pull out the lint filter (A) from inside the tumbler.
3.Remove the lint that has accumulated, and then clean the lint filter.
4.Reinsert the lint filter, and then close the door.
