WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this laundry center, comply with the warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these Important Safety Information and warnings could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

Prevent Fire

 READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

USING THE APPLIANCE.

 DO NOT wash or dry items that have

been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, or other ﬂammable or explosive substances. DO NOT store these items on or near the laundry center. These substances give oﬀ vapors that could ignite or explode.

 DO NOT place items exposed to

cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch ﬁre. To reduce the risk of ﬁre due to contaminated loads, the ﬁnal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

 DO NOT dry articles containing rubber,

plastic or similar materials such as

bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs,

baby pants, plastic bags and pillows

that may melt or burn. Some rubber

materials, when heated, can under

certain circumstances produce ﬁre by

spontaneous combustion.

 DO NOT operate the dryer if the lint

screen is blocked, damaged or missing.

Fire hazard, overheating and damage to

fabrics can occur.

 DO NOT obstruct the ﬂow of ventilating

air. DO NOT stack or place laundry or

throw rugs against the front or back of

the laundry center.

 DO NOT spray any type of aerosol into,

on or near laundry center at any time.

 DO NOT use fabric softeners or products

to eliminate static unless recommended

by the manufacturer of the fabric

softener or product.

Page 6

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen

housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualiﬁed service professional. An

excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could result in ineﬃcient drying and possible ﬁre. See Care and Cleaning.

FIRE HAZARD

WARNING

The dryer operation of a laundry center produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an outdoor exhaust. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of dust, dirt, and lint around the opening and in the surrounding area.

FIRE HAZARD

WARNING

DO NOT continue to use the laundry center if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to ﬁre or serious injury. Contact a qualiﬁed technician immediately.

• Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, or other ﬂammable or explosive substances. Do not store these items on or near the washer. These substances give oﬀ vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.

 DO NOT put oily or greasy rags or

clothing on top of the washer. These substances give oﬀ vapors that could ignite the materials.

 DO NOT add gasoline, cleaning

solvents, or other ﬂammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give oﬀ vapors that could ignite or explode.

 DO NOT store or use gasoline or other

ﬂammable vapors or liquids in the

vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ﬂow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is ﬂammable; DO NOT smoke or use an open ﬂame during this time.

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in ﬁre, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the laundry center

Protect Children

• Risk of suﬀocation and injury from entrapment. Do not allow children to play on or in the laundry center. Close supervision of children is necessary when the laundry center is used. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.

• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the laundry center is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight compartments.

• Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.

• Remove the laundry center doors to prevent accidental entrapment before the laundry center is removed from service or discarded.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Risk of Child Entrapment

Child entrapment and suﬀocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned laundry centers are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old laundry center, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Exhaust System Requirements

Duct Work Requirements

Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid or ﬂexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and ﬁre hazards.

The following are speciﬁc requirements for proper and safe operation of your laundry center.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

DO NOT install a laundry center with

ﬂexible plastic or metal foil venting materials. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct laundry center airﬂow and increase the risk of ﬁre.

If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

• A laundry canter must be exhausted outdoors.

• DO NOT exhaust laundry center into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space of a building.

• A laundry center produces combustible lint. If the laundry center is not exhausted outdoors, some ﬁne lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and ﬁre hazard.

• Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.

Page 16

PREINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

The laundry center must be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Prior to installing your new laundry center, inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

• DO NOT allow combustible materials (for example: clothing, draperies/ curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The laundry center MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a ﬁre hazard.

 DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the

vent system, or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. No

screen, grate, or guard of any mesh size is allowed to cover the exhaust opening. Lint can become caught in the screen, grate, guard, or on the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a ﬁre hazard as well as increasing drying times. Use an

approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil tape. All male duct pipe ﬁttings MUST be installed downstream with the ﬂow of air.

• DO NOT exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m) duct length if installing semi-rigid venting.

• DO NOT use screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system.

Exhaust Direction

Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through your local parts distributor or hardware store.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Never exceed more than 4-90˚ elbows in the exhaust duct system. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH” charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system could create a ﬁre hazard, as well as increase drying times.

See Clearance Requirements

Page 17

PREINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

NOTE

90° quick-turn elbows are required to meet minimum installation depth.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

DO NOT install the laundry center where

gasoline or other ﬂammables are kept or stored. Installation must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the ﬂoor if the laundry center is in a garage. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, ﬁre or burns.

In installations where the exhaust system is not described in the charts, the following method must be used to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:

1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the laundry center and the point the exhaust connects to the laundry center.

2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air ﬂuﬀ (cool down) and start the dryer.

3. Read the measurement on the manometer.

4. The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher than 1.0 inch of water column. If the system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of water column, the system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch of water column, the system is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.

Install male ﬁttings in the correct direction

Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could aﬀect the performance of the laundry center:

• Only rigid metal duct work should be used.

• Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.

• Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated area may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.

• Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in vent restriction.

• The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage. The

more the dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation and that it is free of obstructions.

Manufactured or Mobile Home Installation

1. Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured Home Construction & Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 or the Standard For Mobile Homes, CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.

2. The laundry center MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting that will not support combustion. Metal ducting must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is preferred.

3. If the laundry center is exhausted through the ﬂoor and area beneath the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust system MUST terminate outside the enclosure with the termination securely fastened to a non-combustible portion of the mobile home structure.

4. Refer to previous sections in this manual for other important exhaust venting system requirements.

5. When installing a gas laundry center

Page 18

PREINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

into a mobile home, a provision must be made for outside make up air. This provision is to be not less than twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.

6. Installer MUST anchor this gas laundry center or to the ﬂoor with approved Mobile Home Installation Kit - P/N

137067200.

Clearance Requirements

IMPORTANT

DO NOT INSTALL YOUR LAUNDRY CENTER:

• In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions. The ambient temperature should never be below 60° F (15.6° C) to maximize detergent eﬀectiveness.

• In an area where it will come in contact with curtains, drapes, or anything that will obstruct the ﬂow of combustion and ventilation air.

• In an area where gasoline or other ﬂammables are kept or stored.

• On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm). To minimize vibration or movement, reinforcement of the ﬂoor may be necessary.

• Do not install laundry center on pedestal.

5. Inlet air ventilation to the recess or closet can be satisﬁed by adding 120 square inches of opening, equally divided at the top and bottom of the door and located 3 inches from the bottom and top of the door.

or, adding 120 square inches of ventilation openings to the top, sides or rear wall of the closet wall, if the wall is adjacent to an open room, hallway, or exterior.

or, a louvered door with equivalent air openings equaling 120 sq. inches of ventilation for the full length of the door is acceptable.

It is NOT approved to derive the 120 sq. inches of ventilation from the space between the door edges and the casing or the ﬂoor. ** The presence of forced heating and air-conditioning vent openings in the closet does NOT satisfy the 120 square inch ventilation requirement to the closet.

NOTE

To achieve an installation with 0” (0 cm) clearance for the back of the dryer (for other than straight back venting), a quickturn 90° dryer vent elbow must be installed as described previously in this manual.

or other than straight back venting, a quickturn 90° dryer vent elbow must be installed to achieve 0” (0 cm) installation.

Cycle Settings

Washing Temperature

The appropriate washing temperature will automatically be indicated for the cycle selected. To change the preset temperature, press the temp button to scroll to the desired setting. Select a wash water temperature according to ﬁber content, colorfastness and soil level.

To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are available with every cycle. If a temperature is not available for the cycle, it cannot be selected by pressing the temp button.

The temperature selected for the cycle will be remembered and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future.

All wash water temperatures are automatically regulated to maximize detergent eﬀectiveness and improve washing performance. The water heater setting and its distance from the washer, water usage in other parts of the home, and seasonally low ground water temperature in some geographic areas can aﬀect water temperature.

sanitize (on select models)

Use the sanitize setting to clean and sanitize heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels, bedding, cloth diapers, and children’s clothing.

It is recommended that you set your water heater to 120°F (49°C) or higher to ensure proper performance during this cycle. If the setting is lower or the load is extra large, the cycle time may be extended.

When used with the heavy duty, towels, and optic whites cycles, the sanitize setting will kill 99.9% of bacteria with no carryover of bacteria between loads. No bleach or harsh chemicals are needed, but higher temperatures are required. Please check fabric care labels to prevent damage.

NOTE

If the voltage at your outlet is under 110v, the internal heater may not adequately heat the wash water. If the cycle is interrupted while the water is heating, the ﬁnal temperature of the wash water may be lower and sanitation may be reduced.

The wash water is heated by an internal boost heater to a maximum of 152°F (67°C) as the load tumbles. Cold water is added to cool down the load prior to drain and spin.

As a precaution, the washer door remains locked when the water temperature reaches 130°F (55°C)

NOTE

If the wash cycle is paused or canceled while the internal drum temperature is above 130°F (55°C), the door will remain locked until it cools. You may manually perform a rinse & spin cycle to cool the internal temperature sooner.

allergen (on select models)

Removes dust mites and dander from household objects. The temperature does increase on this setting.

NOTE

The heavy duty, optic whites and towels cycles with the allergen option

selected have been designed to meet the requirements of the NSF P351 protocol for allergen reduction eﬃcacy. These cycles and settings will kill dust mites and eliminate at least 95% of pet dander. Since higher temperatures are required, please check fabric care labels to prevent damage.

The heavy duty, towels, and optic whites with sanitize setting cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF P172 protocol for sanitization eﬃcacy.

Selecting the right cycle to save energy

This dryer has been speciﬁcally designed with options to help you save energy and at the same time utilize the optimal drying setting for your clothing.

The energy eﬃciency rating is based on the Normal Cycle using the Normal temperature setting and the normal dryness level.

Some cycles save more energy than others. Cycles that use the least amount of heat save the most energy and display the leaf icon on the console. Use the lowest heat setting (auto and timed dry cycles) and less dry setting (auto dry cycles) to save on energy and prevent over drying your clothing.

Press the power button to turn on the unit. Turn the cycle selector in either direction or repeatedly press the cycles button (depending on your model) to scroll to the desired cycle. The indicator light for the cycle selected will be illuminated and the estimated drying time for Auto Dry cycles or the actual drying time for Time Dry cycles will be displayed on the LED display screen.

Default settings and options will automatically be indicated for the cycle selected. In most cases cycle settings and options can be changed. See and

Setting Charts

To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel button before selecting a new cycle. Turning the cycle selector ring

or pressing the cycles button WILL NOT change the cycle.

for more details.

Auto dry cycles

Auto dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensors sense the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With auto dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to the desired dryness level.

Auto dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics. When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it will continue to tumble, unheated, during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during unloading.

sensors may not detect enough moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few minutes. If this occurs, then select the time dry cycle to dry such loads.

Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also aﬀect drying time.

NOTE

Models equipped with the Predictive Dry feature use the ﬁrst 90 seconds of Auto Dry cycles to sense the load in the dryer.

During this 90 second period the LED display will show 3 circling lines. When the

sensing is complete, the LED display will show the remaining cycle time in minutes and accurately count down to the end of the cycle.

Timed dry cycles

The timed drying cycles allow the selection of exact drying times. The time dry cycle allows the option to select drying time settings ranging from 30 to 75 minutes (depending on the model). Various drying times and temperature settings can be selected when using this cycle.

The fast dry cycles have preset times of 15 minutes with a preset temperature of high.

Dryness levels will not be an available option when using either of the timed drying cycles.

NOTE

Initial cycle times for auto dry cycles are only estimates, the actual drying time may diﬀer slightly from the time displayed.

Drying times vary depending on size and dampness of the load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry, the moisture

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

To avoid ﬁre hazard, DO NOT use heat to dry items containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics similarly textured, rubber-like materials. Use the time dry cycle and the eco dry (no heat) setting.

DRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operating the Dryer

WARNING

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock or injury to persons, read the Important Safety Information in this Use & Care Manual before operating your dryer.

WARNING

DO NOT operate dryer without lint ﬁlter in place.

STEPS

1. Prepare load for drying.

2. Check that the lint ﬁlter is clean and in place.

TIPS IMPORTANT

• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same load.

• Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.

• Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently set some stains.

• Place delicate, rubber coated, or small items in a mesh bag (not included).

• Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and won’t damage the drum ﬁnish. Close zippers; fasten hooks and loop fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.

WARNING

Clean the lint ﬁlter after every load.

DO NOT machine wash items containing ﬁberglass. Small particles of ﬁberglass left in drum may transfer to fabrics in other loads and cause skin irritation and/or damage to fabrics.

DO NOT wash water resistant and water repellent type clothing or other materials.

DO NOT operate dryer without lint ﬁlter in place.

3. Load the dryer and close the door.

• Load items loosely. The average wet load will ﬁll the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.

• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.

• When drying large items, dry only two or three items at a time. Fill out the load with smaller items.

• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three similar items to improve tumbling action.

DO NOT overload the dryer. To save energy, time and avoid uneven drying and wrinkling avoid overloading the dryer.

DO NOT over-dry. Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint, and a build up of static electricity.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

Dryer

You may or may not hear the following sounds from the laundry center dryer:

A. WATER VALVE (Steam models only.) The ﬂow of

water is controlled by electric solenoids. During operation there may be a clicking sound as the valve opens and closes to control the water ﬂow.

B. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum is

supported by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period of time, or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended period, creating a temporary ﬂat spot on the edge of the roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer operates and the ﬂat spots smooth out.

C. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is equipped

with a high volume air handling system. In some installations there may be some sounds associated with air movement throughout the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and exhaust system. This is normal and can vary with load size and type.

D. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.) The ﬂow of gas is controlled by electric solenoids.

During operation there may be a clicking sound as the valve opens and closes to control the gas ﬂow.

E. GAS BURNER (Gas models only.) When the burner is operating, there may be sounds

generated as the air ﬂow mixes with the gas ﬂame. This noise is normal and will only occur when the gas is ignited in the combustion tube.

Washer

You may or may not hear the following sounds from the laundry center washer:

F. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a ﬂexible drain hose

to carry water from the washer to the stand pipe of your home. You will hear water ﬂowing into your stand pipe. This is a normal part of the operation of the washer.

G. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters the

dispenser system, it is common to hear a water ﬂowing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly based on the water pressure in your home.

H. DOOR LOCK Your washer is equipped with a

door lock with an electric solenoid. There will be a clicking sound as the washer door is locked or unlocked.

I. DRAIN/RECIRCULATION PUMPS Your washer is

equipped with multiple high velocity system pumps. It is normal to hear humming and gurgling sounds as water is either pumped from the washer during the drain phase or recirculated during the prewash and wash phases. Both of these sounds are normal and indicate that your pump is functioning correctly.

J. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to drive the drum to high spin speeds

to extract water from your load. You will hear a sound associated with these higher spin speeds. This sound is normal and will vary slightly as the spin speed varies with load size and cycle selected.

WARNING

CARE AND CLEANING

4. Snap the ﬁlter closed and place back into the dryer opening.

To reduce risk of ﬁre or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed in the Important Safety Information and those listed below.

Cleaning the Filter

WARNING

Clean the lint ﬁlter after every load. CLEAN LINT will be displayed at the end of the cycle to remind you to remove lint from the ﬁlter.

Clean the lint ﬁlter after every load. Lint build-up on the ﬁlter restricts air ﬂow, which causes longer drying times. The ﬁlter is located at the bottom of the door opening.

Cleaning the LuxCareTM Lint Shield Filter

1. Remove the ﬁlter by pulling it straight up from the dryer opening.

2. Press down the button on the top of the ﬁlter to open the clamshell.

IMPORTANT

• DO NOT open the clamshell ﬁlter beyond the hinge limit.

• ALWAYS handle the clamshell ﬁlter by the frame, not by the mesh material.

Inside

• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form

on the lint ﬁlter and/or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash them with warm, soapy water. Dry the ﬁlter thoroughly and replace.

• If the dryer drum becomes stained

from non colorfast fabrics, clean with a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before drying the next load.

• Before cleaning the dryer drum interior,

unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.

 DO NOT use any type of spray cleanser

when cleaning the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.

• Every 18 months a qualiﬁed service

professional should clean the dryer cabinet interior, lint screen housing and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up could result in ineﬃcient drying and possible ﬁre hazard.

WARNING

3. Gently clean the lint from the ﬁlter.

FIRE HAZARD

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an outdoor exhaust. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the opening and in the surrounding area.
