DUCTING REQUIREMENTS

•Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.

•Do not use a smaller duct.

•Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased lint accumulation. Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.

•If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.

•Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.

•Keep exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.

•Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

•DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE, OR CONCEALED SPACE OF A BUILDING, GAS VENT, OR ANY OTHER COMMON DUCT OR CHIMNEY.

THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.

•Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect dryer operation.

•Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and may collect lint.

•The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.

•The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.

•Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.

•To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house or porch.

•If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

•Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before cleaning.

•Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

2.Connect ground wire (green or unwrapped) of power cord to external ground conductor screw.

3.Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) of power cord and appliance ground wire (green with yellow stripes) under central screw of the terminal block.

4.Connect the other wires to outer terminal block screws. Tighten screws.

5.Tighten strain relief screws.

6.Insert tab of terminal block cover into your dryer’s rear panel slot.

Secure cover with hold-down screw.

• External ground connector

• Green or bare copper wire of power cord

• 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) UL-listed strain relief

• Center silver-colored terminal block screw

•Grounding wire (green/yellow)

•Neutral wire (white or center wire)

6.With a level, check your dryer and make necessary adjustments to the leveling legs.

7.At this time, make sure all gas connections (on gas models), exhaust and electrical connections are complete. Plug in your dryer, and check operation by using the checklist below.

8.(GAS MODELS ONLY)

The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait

5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. In order to confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

□Dryer is plugged into electrical outlet and properly grounded.

□Exhaust ductwork is hooked up and joints taped.

□Plastic flexible duct is NOT used.

□Use rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal vent material.

□Dryer is level with all legs firmly on the floor.

□Gas models – gas is turned on with no gas leaks.

□Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.

Dryer Exhaust Tips

WARNING: Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.

1.Let your dryer exhaust the air easily.

2.Use 4” diameter rigid metal duct.Tape all joints, including at the dryer. Never use lint-trapping screws.

3.Keep ducts as straight as possible.

4.Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer. Be sure vent flap opens and closes freely.

Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.

Don’t let a poor exhaust system slow drying by:

1.Restricting your dryer with a poor exhaust system.

2.Using a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.

3.Using unnecessarily long duct runs with many elbows.

4.Allowing crushed or clogged ducts and vent.

1. Digital Graphic Display

The display window shows the estimated time remaining in the cycle after the Cycle Selector dial is pressed. The estimated time remaining may fluctuate as the cycle progresses.

The Drying light will illuminate and remain lit until the cycle is complete. When your dryer is in the cool-down phase, the Cooling light will illuminate.

When your dryer is in the wrinkle prevent phase, the Wrinkle Prevent light will illuminate.

When the cycle is complete, “END” will appear in the display panel until the dryer door is opened or Power key is pushed.

If your dryer is paused during a cycle, the indicator lights will blink until the Cycle Selector dial is pressed.

2. Dry Level Selection Button

To select the dry level in the Normal, Heavy Duty, or other Sensor Dry cycles, press the Dry Level button. An indicator light will illuminate next to the desired dryness level.

Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the settings. Larger or bulkier loads may require the Very Dry (select models) or More Dry setting for complete dryness.

The Less Dry setting is best suited for lightweight fabrics or for leaving some moisture in the clothing at the end of the cycle. Damp Dry (select models) is designed to partially dry items.

Use for items that lay flat or hang to dry.

3. Temp Selection Button

To select the correct temperature for the load, press the Temp button. An indicator light will illuminate next to the desired temperature. Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the settings.

Kljk – For sturdy cottons or those labeled Tumble Dry.

Phglxp – For permanent press, synthetics, lightweight cottons, or items labeled Tumble Dry Medium. Phglxp#Orz – For lower heat than Medium to dry synthetic or washable knit fabrics.

Orz#– For heat sensitive items labeled Tumble Dry Low or Tumble Dry Warm. H{wud#Orz – Provides the lowest heated dry temperature possible.

4. Time Selection Button

When using Manual Dry cycles, time can be adjusted by pressing time selection button. During the Sensory Dry cycle, the time light indicator is off because exact drying times are determined by fluctuating humidity levels.
