This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle that is

not grounded adequately or not in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.

Do not sit on top of the dryer. Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.

Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking

oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these oils. Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. The potential for spontaneous combustion

increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat sources

such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur,

Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch

fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can

create a fire hazard.

All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous. Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run through the

Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they are hot.

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 cause 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. Only a rigid or flexible metal duct should be used for exhausting. Keep the 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.

A 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 that has a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and the 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. Check the duct once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting

dry, then check ducting for obstructions.

Installation - General procedure

For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualified installer. Read these instructions completely before you begin the installation.

To install the dryer, follow these steps:

1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer side- by-side so you have easy access to both appliances.

To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it

lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its final location. Set your dryer upright. Leave enough room around the dryer so you can attach the duct work, power cord, etc.

2. If you need to change the direction of the door, go to Door Reversal on page 19. When done, return to Step 3 below.

3. Review the Exhausting section before installing the exhaust system. Install the duct work from your dryer to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must point away from your dryer. DO

NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling ducting. These joints should be taped. Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.

A tip for tight installations: Attach a section of the exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in

place. Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover the ventilation slots at the back of the dryer cabinet.

4. If you have an electric model, skip to Step 6. If you have a gas model, go to the next step.

5. Review the Gas Requirements section, then follow the lettered steps below.

a. Remove the pipe thread protective cap. b. Apply pipe joint compound or about 1 1/2 wraps of Teflon tape to all threaded connections.

U.S. MODELS:

IMPORTANT - All U.S. models are designed for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION. The dryer frame is

grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for

new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral. If you use the 4-wire system, you cannot ground the dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal

block. Refer to the following instructions for 3- and 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS:

Remove the terminal block cover plate. Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal block.

A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight. Use a 3/8" (1 cm) deep well socket.

9. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must be level. To level the dryer, follow the lettered steps below: Level

ao Using a level, check if the dryer is level side to side and then front

to back.

bo If the dryer is not level, adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of

the dryer until the dryer is level side to side and back to front. Turning the feet clockwise retracts the feet. Turning the feet

clockwise loosens and extends them.

[_ To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully

retract the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen the feet by turning them clockwise. Once the dryer is the same height as the washer, follow the

directions above to level the dryer.

Leveling feet

[_ djust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling

feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

10. Make sure all gas connections (on gas models), exhaust, and electrical connections are complete. Plug in your dryer, and then check its operation by using the checklist below.

1t. For 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. To confirm gas ignition, check the

exhaust for heat.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

[] The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and is properly grounded. [] The exhaust ductwork is hooked up and joints are taped. [] You have used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct. [] The dryer is leveled and is sitting firmly on the floor. [] For gas models: The gas is turned on and there are no gas leaks. [] Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.

LOAD THE DRYER PROPERLY

Place only one washload in your dryer at a time. In mixed loads, heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry differently. This may result in lightweight fabrics being dry while heavy fabrics remain damp at the end of a drying cycle.

Add one or more additional similar items to your dryer when you are drying only one or two items. This improves the tumbling action and drying efficiency. Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some

fabrics.

GETTING STARTED

t. Load your dryer loosely - DO NOT overload.

2. Close the door.

3. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (Refer to the "Cycle Chart" section on page 33).

4. Press the Start/Pause button.

5. The dryer indicator light will illuminate.

6. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display. The time may fluctuate as humidity levels fluctuate in the dryer,

* hen the cycle is complete, "End" will appear in the display.

Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your dryer.

CONTROL PANEL

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.

Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel. The control panel finish may be damaged by some laundry pre-treatment and stain remover products. Apply such products away from your dryer and wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.

TUMBLER

Remove any stains such as crayon, ink, or fabric dye (from new items such as towels or jeans) with an all-

purpose cleaner. Tumble old towels or rags to remove any excess stain or cleaning substance.

Once these steps are followed, stains may still be visible, but should not transfer to subsequent loads.

POWDER COATED TUMBLER

To clean the powder coated tumbler, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for

powder coated surfaces.

Remove the cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.

DRYER EXTERIOR

The entire dryer has a high-gloss finish. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.

Protect the surface from sharp objects as they may scratch or damage the finish. Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the dryer. Keep them in a separate storage cabinet or storage box.

DRYER EXHAUST SYSTEM

Inspect and clean the dryer exhaust system yearly to maintain optimum performance. The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.

SPECIAL LAUNDRY TIPS Please follow the care label or manufacturer's instructions for drying special

items, if care label instructions are not available, use the following information as a guide.

Bedspreads & Comforters

Blankets

Curtains & Draperies

Cloth Diapers

Down-filled Items [jackets,

sleeping bags, comforters, etc.)

Foam Rubber (rug backs, stuffed

toys, shoulder pads, etc.)

Pillows

Plastics (shower curtains, Use the Air Fluff cycle or the Time Dry cycle and the Low or Extra

outdoor furniture covers, etc.) Low temperature settings depending on the care label instructions.

THINGS TO AVOID PUTTING IN THE DRYER:

* Fiberglass items (curtains, draperies, etc.).

Woolens, unless recommended on the label. Vegetable or cooking oil-soaked items or gasoline-soaked items.

Follow the care label instructions or dry on the Normal cycle. Make sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing.

May require repositioning in the dryer to ensure even drying. Use Normal cycle and dry only one blanket at a time for best

tumbling action. Make sure blankets are thoroughly dry before using or storing.

Use the Perm Press cycle and Medium temperature to help minimize wrinkling.

Dry curtains and draperies in small loads for best results and remove as soon as possible.

Use the Normal cycle and the High temperature settings for soft, fluffy diapers.

Use the Normal cycle and the Medium temperature setting. Adding a couple of dry towels shortens drying time and absorbs

moisture. DO NOT dry on a heat setting. Use the Air Fluff cycle (no heat).

WARNING - Drying a rubber item with heat may damage it or cause a fire.

Use the Normal cycle. Add a couple of dry towels and a pair of clean sneakers to help the

tumbling action and to fluff the pillows. DO NOT dry kapok or foam pillows in the dryer. Use the Air Fluff

cycle.

Be sure the door is latched shut. Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.

Check your home's circuit breakers or fuses. Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the cycle,

Check your home's circuit breakers or fuses. On a gas dryer, see ifthe gas supply is on. Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.

See if the dryer has moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle. Check all of the above, plus...

Be sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely. Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected

and cleaned annually. Use 4" rigid metal exhaust duct. Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load. Sort heavy items from lightweight items. Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require

repositioning to ensure even drying. Check that the washer is draining properly to extract adequate water

from the load. The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels. Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc.

Remove promptly. It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on

and off during the drying cycle. Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation

instruction. It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high volume of air moving

through the dryer drum and exhaust system. Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be

completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the More Dry setting if desired.

If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.

Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler, and

exhausts it outside.

When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.

The dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart the cycle.

The dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the dryer.

Garments still wrinkled after

Wrinkle Release.

Odors remain in clothing

after Air Fluff.

Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.

* Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton

towel) and they should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants).

Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.

Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best. Load fewer garments. Load similar-type garments.

Fabrics having strong odors should be washed in a normal cycle before you dry them.
