visible.
5. Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each
of the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the
dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location.
Leave enough room to connect the exhaust 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. Make sure 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) Make sure 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
Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first
side to side, then front to back.
If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block.
Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for
levelness.
Reverse Door Swing
You can change your door swing from a right-side opening to a
left-side opening, if desired.
Remove the door
1. Place a towel or soft cloth on top of the dryer or work space
to protect the surface.
2. Open the dryer door. Remove the 4 screws that hold the door
hinge on the front panel of the dryer. Loosen, but do not
remove, the screw with the top keyhole opening last (2nd
from the top).

DRYER USE
Starting Your Dryer
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. Press the selected cycle pad. Th e preset settings for Auto Dry
Cycles or Manual Cycles will glow. The estimated or actual
cycle time (in minutes) will show in the display.
To use an Auto Dry Cycle
■ Select an Auto Dry Cycle.
■ Select AUTO DRY LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the
load. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of
the load and adjusts the time automatically for the
selected dryness level.
■ Select the desired Options.
To make changes during an Auto Dry Cycle:
■ Adjust Options.
NOTE: Auto Dry Level selections can be made only while
using Auto Dry Cycles. You can select a different dryness
leve l, depe nding on yo ur load, by p ressing Auto Dry Le vel
and choosing More or Less. Selecting More or Less
automatically adjusts the sensed time needed.

How Auto Dry works
EvenHeat™ improves drying performance with Auto Moisture
Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is extracted
from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature sensor) and
moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help measure the
amount of moisture in the clothes as they pass. An electronic
control determines the load type to help save time, avoid
overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the end dryness level.
After the first 5 minutes of an automatic cycle, the estimated time
display will adjust based on the approximate load size, cycle,
dryness level selected and amount of moisture left in the clothes.
When the clothes have reached approximately 80% of the
dryness level selected, the estimated time display will adjust
again, showing the final drying time. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus
takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care.
To use a Manual Cycle
■ Select a Manual Cycle.
■ Press MORE TIME or LESS TIME until the desired drying
time is displayed. Tap MORE TIME or LESS TIME and the
time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold
MORE TIME or LESS TIME and the time will change by
5-minute intervals.
NOTE: The More Time and Less Time features can be
used only with Manual Cycles.
■ Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature
glows.
NOTE: During a Manual Cycle, you can change the settings
for Time, Temperature, WRINKLE GUARD
®
and End of Cycle
Signal. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to stop the dryer and
clear the settings. Select another cycle or option.
4. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, select OPTIONS. For more
details, see “Options.”
5. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, set the
END of CYCLE SIGNAL
.
Select HIGH or LOW to alert you when a cycle ends.
6. Press and hold START for approximately 3 seconds until
dryer starts. Be sure the door is closed.
■ If you do not press Start within 5 minutes of selecting the
cycle, the dryer automatically shuts off.
■ If you wish to end your drying cycle after pressing Start,
press PAUSE/CANCEL twice.
Stopping Your Dryer

Drying and Cycle Tips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your
load. If an Auto Dry Cycle is running, the display shows the
estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing
the dryness level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is running, the
display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the
cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to
handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down
depends on the load size and dryness level.
Drying tips
■ Follow care label directions when they are available.
■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
■ To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon
as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits and synthetic fabrics.
■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics.
This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to
increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■ Refer to the Auto Dry chart or Manual Preset Cycle Settings
chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various
loads.
■ Drying temperature and Auto Dry Level are preset when
you choose an Auto Dry Cycle. You can select a different
dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Auto
Dry Level and choosing More or Less.
■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,
press More Time or Less Time. Adjust the temperature of
a Manual Cycle by pressing Temperature until the desired
temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose an Auto Dry Level with Manual
Cycles.
