ordinances.

The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire power supply connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home

installations. A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection

Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. lo supply the required _ or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical

supply (ore or4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate)

on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit

breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in ;'

the neutral or grounding circuit.

Do not use an extension cord. 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

[b properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will

be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

• [his 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. [f 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 icenter

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.

Mobile home installations require:

• Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for purchase from your dealer.

• Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer

exhaust opening.

If using a power supply cord:

Use a UI. listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should

contain: [] A UI 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:

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UI. listed strain

relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 fl (1.22 m) long, must have four I 0-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:

FireHazard

Useaheavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent. Do not use a metal foil vent. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

WARNING: lb reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling or a concealed space of a building.

Rigid metal vent

• For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are recommended.

• Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking. Flexible metal vent

• Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for cleaning.

• Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final

location.

• Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in

reduced airflow and poor performance.

• Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.

Elbows

45 ° elbows provide better airflow than 90 ° elbows.

If using an existing vent system

• Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged

with lint.

• Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid or flexible heavy metal vent.

• Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if necessary to achieve the best drying performance.

If this is a new vent system

Vent material

• Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

• 4" (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be used.

Special provisions for mobile home installations The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion of the mobile home

structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent path

• Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.

• Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

• When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.

• Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

• Use the fewest 90 ° turns possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance

• Use the following Vent system chart to determine type of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent system chart. Exhaust

systems longer than those specified will:

• Shorten the life of the dryer.

• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.

The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying

performance.

How Automatic Cycles Work This 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 tumble. An electronic control determines the load type to help save time, avoid 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

• Stop at any time by pressing the Extra Care feature or opening the dryer door.

• For the Casual Cycle, the Extra Care feature is preset to "On." The other Automatic Cycles

will retain the Extra Care feature setting. (For example, if you select the Extra Care feature in the Normal cycle, the Extra Care feature will be on the next time you select the Normal cycle.)

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can

increase drying time.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place. IMPORTANT:

• Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so

can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

• if lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and

remove the lint. See "Venting Requirements."

As needed cleaning

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup

can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.

Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.

To wash

1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
