What are Sensor Dry and Time Dry?

Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.

Sensor Dry

The dryer senses the dampness of the laundry and automatically determines the heat level and operation time. You might see a sudden increase or decrease in operation time if the sensor determines more or less drying is required. This is not a malfunction.

Time Dry

Use TIME DRY to select heat level and drying time manually. This can be used if clothes are not as dry as you like them at the end of the cycle. Use TIME DRY for heavy and bulky items and thick work.

WARNING!

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

PART 3 INITIAL STEPS FOR INSTALLING YOUR DRYER

The following instructions will guide you through the initial steps of setting up your dryer.

Please note that every section of this manual provides important information regarding the preparation and use of your dryer, and it is important that you review this entire manual before proceeding with any installation or use. More detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided in other parts of this manual.

STEP 1. Positioning the Dryer.

Choose a location with a solid floor for your dryer.

Place the dryer in the desired location and make sure that it has the required clearances shown below.

44.3"

(112.5cm)

40.2"

(102.1cm)

27" 32.4" (68.6cm) (82.3cm)

*Most installations require a minimum 5 1/2 (5.5) inches.

(14 cm) clearance behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow.

NOTE:

Leveling legs should be secured.

All four legs should be stably placed on a solid and even floor.

If dryer is not level, laundry may not tumble properly and sensor will not detect humidity information accurately. When leveling, please be cautious not to injure your fingers and toes.

If you install the dryer on the optional pedestal, it is necessary to level with the pedestal leveling legs.

Minimum clearances on above, behind, and sides of the unit, as shown below, are required.

Those required minimum clearances are set forth in the picture below. Please keep the following instructions in mind when installing in a closet or recessed area:

Consider allowing additional clearance for installation and servicing.

Wall, door and floor molding may necessitate additional clearances.

Additional inches of clearance are recommended to reduce noise while operating.

Consider the space needed for companion appliances.

For closet installations, the picture below shows the minimum required ventilation openings for the door. A louvered door with comparable ventilation openings is also acceptable.
