Plan Vent System
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom, left or right. Contact your local dealer to have the dryer converted. It’s important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is no air-flow obstruction.
THE DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OR STORED IN AND AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO WATER AND /OR WATHER. THE DRYER AREA IS TO BE KEPT CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. A DRYER PRODUCES COMBUSTIBLE LINT. THE AREA AROUND THE DRYER SHOULD BE KEPT LINT-FREE.
Choose your exhaust installation type
Recommended exhaust installations
Typical installations vent the dryer from the rear of the dryer. Other installations are possible.
Optional exhaust installations
This dryer can be converted to exhaust out the right side, left side, or through the bottom. Contact your local dealer to have the dryer converted.

Install Vent System
1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. See “Determine vent path” in “Plan Vent System.” Avoid 90º turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent.
Connect Vent
1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.
3. (On gas models) Check that there are no kinks in the flexible
gas line.
4. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the corner posts and cardboard.
Level Dryer
To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully retract the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen the legs by turning them clockwise
Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.
Determine vent path
■ Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.
■ Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.
■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■ Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance
■ Use the following Vent system chart to determine type of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
■ NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:
■ Shorten the life of the dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying performance.
Vent system chart
NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn
inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90º turn to the chart.

Starting Your Dryer
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it
(including cooking oils). Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried
on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
fire.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
Follow these basic steps to start your dryer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
1. Clean lint screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
2. Place laundry in dryer and shut door.
3. To select a cycle, rotate the Cycle Selector dial to the desired
cycle. The indicator light by the cycle name will illuminate. The Normal, Heavy Duty, Perm Pres and Delicates cycles are Sensor Dry cycles. Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level (very dry to damp dry) is reached.
Under Sensor Dry, the estimated time remaining will vary depending on the following variables:
- Type of fabric being dried(i.e., towels, light cottons)
- Mixed loads
- Wetness of the load being dried
- Selected Dryness Level(i.e., More Dry, Normal Dry, Less Dry)

Cycles
Models : 592-89107*, 592-89117*, 592-89108*, 592-89118*, 592-89102*
Normal
Use this cycle to dry loads such as cotton, underwear, and linen.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get high heat for heavy fabrics such as jeans, corduroys, or work clothes.
Perm Press
Dry wrinkle-free cottons, synthetic fabrics, knits, and permanent press fabrics automatically. The cycle minimizes wrinkling by providing a longer unheated cool-down period at the end of the cycle.
Delicates
The Delicates cycle is designed to dry heat-sensitive items at a low drying temperature.
Timed Dry
Time Dry allows you to select the desired cycle time in minutes. Turn the Cycle Selector dial to Time Dry, then press the Adjust
Time up arrow to set the drying time. Press the arrow repeatedly to scroll through the time settings.
Wrinkle Release
The Wrinkle Release cycle will release wrinkles from items that are clean, dry, and only slightly wrinkled, such as clothes from a crowded closet, suitcase or items that have been in the dryer too long after the cycle has ended. Wrinkle Release can be used with any temperature selection.
Air Fluff
The Air Fluff cycle tumbles the load in room temperature air.
Options
Digital Graphic Display
The display window shows the estimated time remaining in the cycle after the Start/Pause button is pressed. The estimated time remaining may fluctuate as the cycle progresses.
