(approximately 6 pounds).
2
Press the Power button.
3
Press the Rinse+Spin button.
4
Select the Start/Pause button to start the
wash cycle.

Make sure that water is supplied, that the
washer does not rock or vibrate excessively,
and that it drains well during the spin cycle.
NOTE
• If water leaks during water supply, see
Connecting the Water Inlet Hoses to connect
them properly.
• If the appliance rocks and vibrates excessively,
see Leveling the Appliance to level it again.
• If the drain does not work, see Connecting the
Drain Hose to install the hose properly.
Testing the Dryer
Once you have completed the installation of the
appliance, use this test to make sure the condition
of the exhaust system is adequate for proper
operation of the appliance. This test should be
performed to alert you to any serious problems in
the exhaust system of your home.
• Your appliance features Flow Sense(
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.
Testing Dryer Heating
Gas Models
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and
Start/Pause buttons to start the test. When the
dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main
burner.
NOTE
• If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas
igniter may turn off before the main burner
ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt
gas ignition after approximately two minutes.
Electric Models
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and
Start/Pause buttons to start the test. The exhaust
air should be warm after the dryer has been
operating for 3 minutes.
Checking Airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper 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
inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while
the dryer is running with no load.
