What are Sensor Dry and Time Dry?
Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.
Sensor Dry : Dryer senses electronically laundry humidity and it automatically determines operation time
based on the dryness of the load and the selected program. At times, you can see sudden increase or
decrease on operation time. It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity with a certain period.
Sudden change on operation time is not a malfunction.
Time Dry : Time Dry is that you can set operation time manually to complete drying. Or use Time Dry to have
drying performance if clothes are still damp after sensor dry cycle is finished. Time Dry is more effective for
heavyweight and bulky items such as king-size bed sheets and thick work clothes.

because wiring errors can cause serious injury to
you and your dryer.
b) Use separately fused circuits for washers and
dryers, and DO NOT operate a washer and a
dryer on the same circuit.
NONE GROUND TYPE
If the AC current outlet has a ground terminal, then
sep arate grounding is not required. Note that AC
power out let configurations may differ from country
to country.
WARNING!
Do not overload the circuit by operating
other appliances on the same circuit when
this appliance is operating, by using an
extension cord to connect the dryer to the
power source, or by using any adapter to
allow additional cords to connect to the
same outlet.
WARNING!
DO NOT modify the plug provided with
the dryer. If it does not fit the outlet in your
laundry room, a proper outlet will need to be
installed in your laundry room by a qualified
service person or company.

a) The dryer has a three-prong plug to help guard
against shock. The plug should be plugged
directed into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle that is rated 120 Volts AC (alternating
current) 15 Amps. This plug, in order to be
properly and fully effective, must be plugged into
a properly installed outlet that is grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
b) The dryer must be grounded in order to reduce
the risk of electric shock, including a
malfunction or breakdown.
c) If your laundry room does not meet the
specifications required by this manual, or if you
are uncertain whether or not your laundry room
meets these specifications, please have a
qualified service person or company, for example
a qualified electrician or your local electric
company, review your laundry room’s electrical
supply for any problems.

If the AC current outlet has a ground terminal, then separate grounding
is not required. Note that AC power outlet configurations may differ
from country to country.
Caution
CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has
no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the spercification page of this owner's manual to be certain. Do not overload wall outlets.
Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of theseconditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance
indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by
an authorized servicer. Protect the power cord form physical or machanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, colsed in a door,
or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs. wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
Other Grounding Method
Burying Copper Plate
Connect the Ground Wire to a Ground Copper Plate and bury it more
than 75cm in the ground.
Using Ground Wire
Connect the Ground Wire to a the socket provided
exclusively for grounding
Using a Short Circuit Breaker
If grounding methods described above are not possible, a separate circuit breaker should be employed and installed by a qualified electrician
Caution
• To prevent a possible explosion, do not connect ground to a gas pipe.
• Do not connect ground to telephone wires or lightning rods. This may be dangerous during electrical storms.
• Connecting ground to plastic has no effect.
• Ground wires should be connected when an extension cord is used.

Part 6
Following are important instructions and information concerning the requirements for the gas supply and service for
gas dryers.
Important Warning: The gas supply and service for a gas dryer must comply with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of any local codes or ordinances in your area, the gas supply and service for your gas
dryer must comply with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
1. Gas supply requirements: Liquefied Petroleum
(L.P.) Gas (2,500 Btu/ft3 (93.1 MJ/m3)) service
must be provided at 10 + 1.5 in. water column
pressure.
2. Do not attempt to connect Dryer to Liquified
Petroleum (LP Gas) Gas service without a
qualified professional.
3. Isolate the dryer from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve, during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at test pressure equal to or less
than 2/1 psi (3.45 kPa).
4. 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 feet
(1.8m) of the dryer, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. A 1/8 in.
N.P.T. pipe plug must be installed as shown.
GAS REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS
5. If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2
inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and
ordinances and when acceptable to your gas
supplier, 3/8 inch approved tubing may be used
where lengths are less than 20 feet (6.1m).
Larger tubing should be used for lengths in
excess of 20 feet (6.1m). It is also important that
you use pipe joint compound that is insoluble in
LP gas.
6. To reduce the danger of gas leaks, explosion, and
fire, please follow and observe the following
