INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 14 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.

HOW TO USE

CHECK THE LINT FILTER BEFORE EVERY LOAD

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read this entire manual, includ-

ing the Important Safety Instructions, before operating this dryer.

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 27 for more information.

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.

Steam technology allows you to inject fabrics with a swirling jet of hot steam to remove wrinkles and deodorize clothes with the STEAM REFRESH cycle. In addition, steam can be used on many other cycles to help prevent static electricity buildup at the end of the cycle.

The STEAM REFRESH cycle will refresh from 1 to 5 garments. For best results, only refresh items of similar size and fabric type. Best results are obtained with 70/30 cotton/poly blend fabrics.

Using the STEAM REFRESH cycle

The STEAM REFRESH cycle uses the power of steam to quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. It brings new life to wrinkled clothes that have been stored for an extended time, and it can make heavily wrinkled clothes easier to iron. STEAM REFRESH can also be used to help reduce odors in clothes, such as clothes that were worn in a room where people have been smoking. This cycle can refresh from 1 to 5 garments, or one bulky item such as a comforter. Best results are achieved on cotton/poly blend fabrics.

NOTE: The STATIC SHIELD option can be used together with the STEAM REFRESH cycle to help prevent static electricity.

Turn on the dryer and rotate the cycle selector knob to select the STEAM REFRESH cycle.

Select the STATIC SHIELD option, if desired. The default number of garments is 3. Press the MORE

TIME or LESS TIME button to select the number of garments in the load. Select to refresh bulky items such as comforters.

Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.

NOTE: The STEAM REFRESH cycle automatically

selects the WRINKLE GUARD feature to prevent wrinkles from being set in the clothes if you don’t unload it immediately after the cycle finishes.

Using the STATIC SHIELD Option

This option injects steam late in the drying cycle to reduce the static electricity caused by dry fabrics rubbing together.

Change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing the MORE TIME and LESS TIME buttons until the display shows the number of articles in the load.

The STATIC SHIELD option can be used with the STEAM REFRESH, HEAVY DUTY, BULKY/BEDDING, NORMAL, WORKOUT WEAR, CASUAL, DELICATES, EXPRESS DRY, TOUCH UP and TIMED DRY cycles.

NOTES:

• When STATIC SHIELD is added to sensor dry cycles,

the LESS and DAMP dry level cannot be selected.

• STATIC SHIELD can be used with TIMED DRY cycles.

• After the STATIC SHIELD option is selected in TIMED

DRY, the MORE TIME and LESS TIME buttons will change the steam time ONLY.

• After the cycle has started, the MORE TIME and LESS

TIME buttons are disabled.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

REGULAR CLEANING

ENGLISH

Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR 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 grounded outlet matching dryer’s rating plate.

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.

ENGLISH

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 27. 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 condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filter. Even an unbalanced load in the washer can cause poor spinning resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.

Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).

Clothes are shrinking

Check if...

Then...

Garment care instructions are not being followed. To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care

instructions for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting and/or the RACK DRY if available.

Clothes are wrinkled

Check if...

Then...

Clothes dried too long (overdried).

Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.

Use the WRINKLE GUARD option. This feature will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes for up to 150minutes to help prevent wrinkling.

Display shows error code tE1 or tE2

Check if...

Then...

Temperature sensing failure. Turn off the dryer and call for service.

Lint on clothes

Check if...

Then...

Lint filter not cleaned properly.

Laundry not sorted properly.

Excess static in clothes.

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 27. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.

• Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Over-drying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY cycles.

Dryer is overloaded.

Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.

Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.

Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.

Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or LESS DRY setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.
