15" Pedestal

Color-matched pedestals raise the washer and dryer to a more comfortable working height. The large drawer provides convenient storage.

Stack Kit

If space is at a premium, the stack kit allows the dryer to be installed on top of the washer.

Drying Rack

The Drying Rack provides a stationary drying surface for items such as sweaters and tennis shoes. See the “Additional Features” section for more information.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW

Maintaining good airow

Clean your lint screen before each load.

Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

Use the shortest length of vent possible.

Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system. Each bend and curve reduces airow.

Good

Better

Good airow

Along with heat, dryers require good airow to efciently dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good airow.

Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who installed the dryer.

Use Sensor Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor Cycles, drying air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. Use the Normal dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to overdrying. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for nal product check.

Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

Not all features and cycles are available on all models. NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your nger. To ensure your selections are

registered, touch the control panel with your ngertip, not your ngernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch the appropriate button.

POWER

Touch to turn the dryer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel a cycle at any time.

CYCLES

Touch a button for the desired drying cycle. See “Cycle Guide” for cycle details.

START/PAUSE

Touch and hold until LED counts down “3-2-1” and the dryer starts; then let go to start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it.

MODIFIERS

Use to select available modiers for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.

Temp

When using Timed Dry/Quick Cycle, you may select a dry temperature based on the type of load you are drying. Use the warmest setting that is safe for the garments in the load. Follow garment label instructions.

Dryness

You may adjust the Dryness on Sensor cycles (except for the Sanitize cycle), if desired.

NOTE: Dryness is for use with Sensor cycles only. More Time/Less Time Timed Dry Adjust

Touch MORE TIME or LESS TIME with the Timed Dry/ Quick cycle to increase or decrease the length of the cycle.

OPTIONS

Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.

Wrinkle Prevent

If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch WRINKLE PREVENT to add up to 150 minutes of periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling.

NOTE: If you open the dryer door prior to the end of the Wrinkle Prevent option, the dryer will go into standby.

Cycle Signal

Use this option to turn the signal indicating the end of a drying cycle to low, medium, high, or off. The volume you select here will also be applied to the Damp Dry Signal.

Option

NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound

when a feature, setting, or option is touched. Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds to turn sounds to low, medium, high, or off.

Damp Dry Signal

Touch to turn the Damp Dry Signal on or off. When selected, a series of beeps will sound when the load is damp, but not completely dry. This will allow you to take clothes out of the load that do not need to dry completely. This option is available on some cycles. The Damp Dry signal is selected as a default for the Bulky Items/Normal, Bulky Items/Wrinkle Control, and Bulky Items/Heavy Duty cycles, as a reminder to manually reposition bulky loads midway through the cycle.

Control Lock

Use this option to lock the controls of the dryer and avoid an accidental change in cycle options or preferences during a drying cycle.

Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to lock or unlock the controls of the dryer. During this time, the LED Display will count down “3-2-1.” Once the controls are locked, the LED Display will display “Loc.”

NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control, touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for at least 3 seconds.

Eco Dry

The Eco Dry option will default on only for the Normal cycle and is only available on that cycle. This option allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. The Eco Dry option will increase drying times by approximately 40 minutes, which will be reected on the LED Display. If optimal time is desired, touch ECO DRY to turn off this option.

LED DISPLAY

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Time Remaining (for Automatic Cycles) will vary depending on the cycle selection, or actual time remaining for Timed Dry cycles (for Manual Cycles) will be displayed.

CYCLE STATUS INDICATORS

The Cycle Status Indicators show the progress of a cycle. Not all indicators are available on all models.

Sensing

The Sensing indicator will light periodically during Sensor Cycles to indicate that the moisture sensor on the dryer is operating. This indicator will not light during Timed Cycles or options such as Wrinkle Prevent.

Wet

The load is still wet and/or the cycle just started.

Damp

This indicator shows that the load is partially dried and items that you may wish to hang up or iron while still damp may be removed.

Cool Down

The dryer has nished drying with heat and is now tumbling the load without heat to cool it down.

Check Vent

The Check Vent indicator is a feature available for Automatic cycles only. This indicator will show the status of airow through the dryer and the dryer vent system for the dryer’s life. During the sensing phase at the beginning of the cycle, the Check Vent light will come on if a blocked vent or low airow issue is detected. This light will stay on for the entire cycle. Should the Check Vent light illuminate, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section for potential solutions to the issue.

The light will be cleared upon completion of the cycle, touching Power, or opening the door. The Check Vent light will continue to illuminate during the cycle unless the root cause is resolved.

REMEMBER: The dryer will continue to operate even while the indicator is lit, but poor airow can impact dry times and overall performance. For more information on maintaining good airow, see “Check Your Vent System for Good Airow.”

NOTE: If there are other error issues during a cycle, the Check Vent indicator will not light up. See the “Troubleshooting” section.

End

This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the load may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle Prevent has been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble the load, even if “End” is displayed.

Control Lock

This will illuminate once the controls are locked.
