SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONSSAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. The potential for spontaneous
combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed
to heat. Heat sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation
reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and can create a re hazard.
• All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be
dangerous.
Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their
temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying
cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these
items when they are hot.

CAUTION
Before Installing the Dryer, conrm 240V is present between L1 and L2 at the power
receptacle. If the Voltage is low, it may not dry properly. Review the “Electrical
requirements” section on page 19 if needed.
WARNING
• All U.S. models are designed for a 3-wire system connection. The dryer frame is
grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-wire system connection
is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not
permit grounding through neutral. If you use the 4-wire system, you cannot ground the
dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.

relief through the hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal block.
• A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal
block. Be sure they are tight. Use a 3/8” (1 cm) deep well socket.
STEP 4 Level the dryer
To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.
1. Using a level (A), check if the dryer
is level side to side and then front to
back. If the dryer is not level, adjust the
leveling feet (B) at the bottom of the
dryer. Then, check if the dryer is level
again.
Installation
NOTE
• To set the dryer to the same height
as your washer, fully retract (A)
the leveling feet by turning them
counterclockwise, then loosen (B) the
feet by turning them clockwise. 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.

STEP 5 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 nal checklist in Step 7 below.
STEP 6 Final check
When installation is complete, conrm that:
• The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
• The exhaust ductwork is connected and the joints are taped.
Installation
• You have used rigid or stiff-walled exible metal duct material, not plastic exible duct.
• The dryer is level and is sitting rmly on the oor.
• The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.
For gas models:
• The gas is supplied properly with no leaks.
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 conrm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.
CAUTION
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 with the dryer in a cool state. If the dryer warms up
after the installation check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its
internal temperature.
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.)
English28
DV3200T_DC68-03784N-00_EN.indd 28 2020-05-25 11:10:20
2. Press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the
Time and START/PAUSE buttons for 3 seconds. “InS or In” 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 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 is displayed and the dryer
sounds a tone.
If status of the duct system is normal, “End or 0” appears and the dryer sounds a
completion tone.
If the duct system can not exhaust properly, check code appears and the dryer sounds
an alarm tone.
If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display. For
information about the code, see “Information codes” section on page 46.
• 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 result 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 to the current duct system when
the dryer is installed for the rst 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. Follow the proper
procedures when testing the dryer.
• Even if the test result is normal (“End or 0”), the duct system could be blocked slightly.
Properly install all duct work according to the installation instructions in this manual.
