If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.
This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the neutral ground conductor must be removed from the external ground connector (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground conductor is secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the
neutral conductor.
If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire
connection" section. A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the
appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductors.
If using a power supply cord: Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned
ends.
A UL listed strain relief.
If your outlet looks like this:
4-wire receptacle (14-30R)
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white cover.
If your outlet looks like this:

How Auto Moisture Sensing Plus works
The Even-Heat TM feature 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, prevent 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
Rotate the dial to select a Manual Cycle. Press MANUAL DRY TIME (- or +) buttons until the desired
drying time is displayed. Tap - or + and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold - or + and the time will change by 5-minute intervals. The initial time displayed is the actual drying time.
NOTE: The Manual Dry Time feature can be used only with Manual Cycles.
Press TEMP until the desired temperature glows. NOTE: Pressing the Dryness Level button will cause the triple
beep indicating that this option is not selectable. Also, a Dryness Level is not indicated.
Press the EXTRA CARE feature button if this option is desired.
Press the CYCLE END SIGNAL button to set volume to desired level.
Press (and hold) HOLD TO START button until dryer starts (about 1 second).
While a Manual Cycle is running, you can change the settings for Time, Temperature, the Extra Care feature, and the Cycle
End Signal. Press the OFF button twice to stop the dryer and clear the settings, allowing you to select another cycle.
To stop your dryer at any time Press OFF twice or open the door.
To pause the dryer at any time Open the door or press OFF once.
To restart the dryer Close the door and press (and hold) HOLD TO START button until
dryer starts. NOTE: Drying will continue from where the cycle was interrupted
if you close the door and press Start within 5 minutes. Ifthe cycle is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will shut off. Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.
This feature allows you to lock your settings to prevent unintended use of the dryer. You can also use the Control Locked feature to prevent unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.
To enable the Control Locked feature when dryer is
running:
Press and hold the CYCLE END SIGNAL button for 3 seconds. The control is locked when a single beep is heard and the Control
Locked status light is on.
When the dryer is off, it is not necessary to press the Control On button before activating the Control Locked feature.
To unlock:
Press and hold the CYCLE END SIGNAL button for 3 seconds to turn this feature off.
NOTE: When the dryer is running and Control Locked is on, the dryer can be stopped by pressing the Off button, but can't be
restarted until the control is unlocked.
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Automatic 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.
Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased shrinking or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
Refer to the Automatic or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads.
Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can choose a different dryness level, depending on your load by pressing the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select MORE or
LESS.
If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,
you must press the MANUAL DRY TIME (- or +) buttons. Adjust the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing TEMP until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual Cycles.
