- Only use this feature when instructed to do so by the call center agent. The transmission sounds similar to a fax machine, and so has no meaning except to the call center agent. - SMARTDIAGNOSIS™ cannot be activated if the dryer does not power up. If this happens, then troubleshooting must be done without SMARTDIAGNOSIS™. If you experience problems with your dryer, call 1-800-243-0000 (1-888-542-2623 in Canada). Follow the call center agent’s instructions, and do the following steps when requested:

1. Press to turn on the dryer. Do not press any other buttons.

2. When instructed to do so by the call center agent, place the mouthpiece of your phone very close to the POWER button.

3. Press and hold (TEMP. CONTROL) for three seconds, while holding the phone mouthpiece to the icon or POWER button.

4. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. This takes about 17 seconds, and the display will count down the time.

• For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted and do not touch the control panel with the phone.
• If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.• Pressing the POWER button during the transmission will shut off the SMARTDIAGNOSIS™. 5. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the call center agent, who will then be able to assist you using the information transmitted for analysis at the call center agent.sPECIFICatIons nota MFL62512884_en_120518.indd 34 2012.5.18 9:30:35 AM35 ENGLISH OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES Stacking kit installation This stacking kit includes: • Two (2) side rails• One (1) front rail• Four (4) screwsTools needed for installation:• Phillips screwdriverTo ensure safe and secure installation, please observe the following instructions.
