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.

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.

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

Instructions and WARNINGS:

•Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the nameplate;

•Use new flexible stainless steel connectors;

•Use Teflon tape and pipe joint compound insoluble in LP gas on all pipe threads;

•Purge gas supply of air and sediment before connecting the gas supply to the dryer; in order to prevent gas valve contamination, before tightening connection between gas supply and dryer, purge remaining air until odor of gas is identified; and
