BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the dryer.
• Before use, the dryer must be properly installed as
described in this manual.
• 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.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
• Do not reach into the dryer if the drum or any other
part is moving.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in

cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign
objects.
• Clean lint screen before or after each load.
CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further
by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
• The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to
the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large
amounts of moisture will be expelled into the
laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of
the home can create a health and fire hazard.
• Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4-in.
diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for
exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other
combustible ductwork can cause a fire. Punctured
ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes
otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you
should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The
end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent
backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
• The exhaust duct must be 4 in. (10.2 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to
clean any old ducts before installing your new
dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
fire or death.
• Rigid or semi rigid metal ducting is recommended
for use between the dryer and the wall. In special
installations when it is impossible to make a
connection with the above recommendations, a
UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be
used between the dryer and wall connection only.
The use of this ducting will affect drying time.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other
fasteners which extend into the duct that could
catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust
system. Secure all joints with duct tape. For
complete details, follow the Installation Instructions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.

outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. Failure to follow these instructions can
create an electrical shock hazard and/or a fire hazard.
• The dryer should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate. This provides
the best performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard
from overheated wires.
• Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet. The power cord can be damaged,
resulting in a risk of fire and electrical shock.
• Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

the following:
Gas supply requirements:
As shipped from the factory, this dryer is config-
ured for use with (NG) natural gas. It can be con-
verted for use with LP (Liquefied Propane) gas. Gas
pressure must not exceed 8 in. water column for
(NG), or 13 in. water column for (LP).
A qualified service or gas company technician must
connect the dryer to the gas service. Failure to do so
can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Supply line requirements: Your laundry room must
have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer. In the
United States, an individual manual shutoff valve
MUST be installed within at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the
dryer, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian gas installation code
CSA B149.1. A 1/8 in. NPT pipe plug must be
installed. Failure to do so can result in fire, explo-
sion, or death.
If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2 in.
IPS. If acceptable under local codes and ordinances
and when acceptable to your gas supplier, 3/8 in.
approved tubing may be used where lengths are
less than 20 ft. (6.1 m). Larger tubing should be
used for lengths in excess of 20 ft. (6.1 m). Failure
to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the
nameplate. Failure to do so can result in fire, explo-
sion, or death.
To prevent contamination of the gas valve, purge
the gas supply of air and sediment before connect-
ing the gas supply to the dryer. Before tightening
the connection between the gas supply and the
dryer, purge remaining air until the odor of gas is
detected. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas leaks.
Use a noncorrosive leak detection fluid. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certified gas supply
line with flexible stainless steel connectors. Failure
to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Securely tighten all gas connections. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Use Teflon tape or a pipe-joint compound that is
insoluble in Liquefied Petroleum (LP) gas on all
pipe threads. Failure to do so can result in fire, explo-
sion, or death.
DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer; any
disassembly requires the attention and tools of an
authorized and qualified service person or
company.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

IMPORTANT!
The most common cause of dryer problems is poor exhaust venting. Before you install your new dryer, check the
items listed below to make sure you get the best possible performance. This can save you time and money by reducing
cycle times and increasing energy efficiency.
DIRTY OR DAMAGED EXHAUST DUCTS. Lint builds up in exhaust ducts over time. This decreases the airflow and
makes the dryer work harder. Visually inspect your ducts from both ends and have them cleaned if they have not
been cleaned recently.
WRONG VENT MATERIAL. Check your vent to make sure it is rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting. If your venting is
plastic or flexible foil, have it replace before using the dryer.
RESTRICTED OR DAMAGED VENT HOOD. Check your vent hood outside. It must be clean and free of lint buildup.
Check the damper and make sure it opens fully and easily.
EXESSIVELY LONG VENT. Measure the length of your exhaust system and count the elbows. Use the chart of page
15 to see if your duct is too long. If it is too long, have the duct routed to another location that is within the venting
guidelines.
DO NOT USE PLASTIC OR FOIL VENTING. The transition duct from your dryer to the wall must be rigid or
semi-rigid metal ducting. If your old transition duct is plastic or foil, REPLACE IT with semi-rigid metal ducting.
CHECK YOUR EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR
PROBLEMS
Using the Duct Requirements Chart (below)
Select the type of vent hood.
Select row that matches the number of elbows required in the dryer duct run.
Look to the right of elbow number for the maximum duct length for your installation. Longer duct length will result in
reduced drying performance, longer dry times and increased energy consumption.
DO NOT exceed maximum length for the duct type and number of elbows used.
Selecting and Verifying Duct Length Chart
NOTE: Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow. It is not recommended to use more than four 90˚ elbows.

Routing and Connecting Ductwork
Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying
performance and reduce lint buildup and condensation
in the ductwork.
NOTE: Ductwork and fittings are NOT included and must
be purchased separately.
• Use 4 in. (102mm) diameter rigid or semi rigid metal
ductwork.
• The exhaust duct run should be as short as possible.
• Use as few elbow joints as possible.
• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must
point away from the dryer.
• Use duct tape on all duct joints.
• Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas
in order to reduce condensation and lint buildup
on duct surfaces.
• The Total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 8
ft.(2.4m)
• In Canada, only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any,
specifically identified for use with the appliance by the
manufacturer shall be used. In the United States, only
those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified
for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that
comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct,
Subject 2158A, shall be used.
IMPORTANT: Failure to exhaust the dryer per the
guidelines included within these instructions may result
in unsatisfactory dryer performance. All venting and
ductwork beyond the exterior of the dryer is the
responsibility of the consumer. Product failure as
a result of improper venting is not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Connecting the Dryer Vent
Verify all ducts and elbows are clean and free from any
blockages.
Measure duct length. DO NOT exceed the maximum
length listed in the chart on page 15.
Connect dryer exhaust to existing ductwork.
• Use duct tape or clamps only.
• DO NOT use screws to secure ductwork.
• Use rigid or semi rigid metal duct.
• DO NOT use plastic or thin metal foil tubing for
ductwork.
• The male end of each elbow must always point in the
direction of the airflow.
WARNING:
Failure to follow these
guidelines will result in poor performance, product
failure, and/or result in fire or death.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
Fabric Care Labels
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that
include instructions for proper care.
Loading Tips
• Combine large and small items in a load.
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload
the dryer; clothes require room to tumble dry properly.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these
items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a
new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying times.
To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off
the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the filter
to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly back into place.
See “Regular Cleaning” on page 28 for more informa-
tion.
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before
running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or
missing lint filter may damage the dryer and articles in
the dryer.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and
keys can damage both your dryer and your
clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or
matches could ignite, causing a fire. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Never dry clothes that have been exposed to
oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances.
Washing clothes will not completely remove oil
residues. Failure to obey this warning can result
in fire, explosion, or death.
Grouping Similar Items
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be dried
with the same drying cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements, and
some fabrics will dry more quickly than others. For best
fabric care results, always dry fabrics with similar care
requirements together.

Cleaning the Lint Filter
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of your dryer can extend its life. The outside
of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a
mild, nonabrasive household detergent. Immediately
wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirits, solvents,
or similar products.
NEVER use steel wool or abrasive cleansers because
they can damage the surface.
ALWAYS make sure the lint filter is clean before
every cycle. The Check Lint filter Light on the control
panel will blink before every cycle to remind you.
NOTE: NEVER operate the dryer without the lint filter.
To remove lint between cycles:
Open the dryer door.
Pull the lint filter straight up. Then:
Roll any lint off the filter with your fingers.
Periodic thorough cleaning:
Some fabric softeners can build up on the lint filter over
time. This buildup can restrict the airflow through the filter
reducing dryer efficiency and lengthening dry
times. If the
filter looks dark or dirty when held up to the
light, follow
these steps to clean:
Use hot soapy water and a stiff brush to clean the filter.
Make sure the filter is completely dry before reinstalling
and using the dryer.
NOTE: NEVER operate the dryer with a wet lint filter.
Cleaning the Interior
Wipe around the door opening and seal with a soft, damp
cloth to prevent lint and dust buildup that could damage
the door seal.
Clean the window with a soft cloth dampened with warm
water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent; then
wipe dry.
NEVER use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can
scratch or damage the surface.
Maintaining Ductwork
Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup
and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable
reduction in drying performance occurs, check ductwork
for obstructions and blockages. If the CHECK VENT
indicator illuminates, the exhaust system should be
checked immediately for damage or obstructions. The
CHECK VENT indicator signals a serious reduction in
exhaust airflow which will greatly reduce energy efficiency
and increase drying times. Damaged or restricted exhaust
systems are not covered by the dryer warranty. Damage
to the dryer that is caused by damaged, restricted, or
otherwise inadequate exhaust systems is not covered by
the dryer warranty.
Cleaning Around and Under the Dryer
Vacuum lint and dust from around the dryer and
underneath it regularly.
• Unplug the dryer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning
can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the dryer. They will damage the finish.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static elec-
tricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SEN-
SOR DRY cycles. Select a "Less Dry" setting on Sensor Dry
cycles, if necessary.
Dryer will not turn on
Check if...
Then...
Power cord is not properly plugged in.
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or
power outage has occurred.
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity.
If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified
electrician.
NOTE: Due to the design of electric dryers, it is possible for a circuit
problem to allow an electric dryer to run without heat.
Dryer does not heat
Check if...
Then...
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or
power outage has occurred.
Gas supply or service turned off (gas models only).
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse
capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected
by a qualified electrician.
Greasy or dirty spots on clothes
Check if...
Then...
Clean and dirty clothes being dried together. Only use your dryer to dry clean items, because dirty items
can soil clean clothes placed in the same or subsequent
loads.
Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed
before placing them in the dryer.
Stains on dried clothes could be stains that weren’t
removed during the washing process. Make sure that clothes
are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to the
instructions for your washer and detergent. Some difficult
soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.
Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff
valves are both fully open. Even if gas is not supplied to the
dryer, it will run and no error codes will be displayed. Verify
that other gas appliances in the home are working normally.
Excess static in clothes after drying
Check if...
Then...
Fabric softener not used or used incorrectly.
Clothes dried too long (overdried).
Drying synthetics, permanent press,
or synthetic blends.
Use a fabric softener or STATIC SHIELD option, if equipped,
to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup.
Try using fabric softener, or use LESS DRY and/or shorter
TIMED DRY time settings.
Make sure that the plug is securely plugged into a ground-
ed outlet matching dryer’s rating plate.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
CHECK VENT INDICATOR IS BLINKING *
Check if...
Then...
Ductwork is too long or has too many
turns/restrictions.
Partial blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup
or other foreign object.
Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation
Instructions for details.
Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. Dryer
can be used in this condition, but drying times will be longer
and energy consumption will be increased.
* This warning light is not a dryer failure and is not covered
by the dryer warranty. Contact a duct cleaning service to
set up an appointment to have your exhaust system
cleaned and inspected.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Drying time is not consistent
Check if...
Then...
Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is
not consistent.
Clothes take too long to dry
Check if...
Then...
Load is not properly sorted.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and
heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with
heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry
faster.
Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty,
or duct run is too long.
Confirm that the exhaust ductwork is properly configured and
free of debris, lint, and obstructions.
Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly and
are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.
Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain
more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent
drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items
into smaller loads of a consistent size.
Dryer controls are not set properly. Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you
are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of the
dry level for proper drying.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned. Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint
removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or
clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions on
page 28. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint,
it may be necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter
during the cycle.
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or
power outage has occurred.
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse
capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected
by a qualified electrician.
Dryer is overloaded.
Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying
performance and efficiency.
Dryer is underloaded.
If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to
ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and
you are using Sensor Dry cycles the electronic control cannot
properly sense the dryness of the load and may shut off too
soon. Use timed dry or add some extra wet clothes to the
load.
The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type of
heat used (electric, natural, or LP gas), the size of the load,
the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condi-
tion of the exhaust ducts and lint filter. Even an unbalanced
load in the washer can cause poor spinning resulting in wet-
ter clothes which will take longer to dry.
