WARNING - Risk of Fire

•Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

•Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.

•Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

•To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:

•Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers

•Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubberlike materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

WARNING What to do if you smell gas:

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not turn on the appliance.

•Do not touch any electrical switch.

•Do not use any phone in your building.

•Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

•Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.

Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.

WARNING

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.

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 . 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 over all threaded connections.

The pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas.

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.

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” (1cm) deep well socket.

9. Connect the Water Inlet Hose. For instructions, go to Connecting the
Inlet Hose on page	Level

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

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

b. If the dryer is not level, adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of the dryer until the washer 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

Retract fully

Then loosen

Adjust 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.

11.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.

12.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 grounded properly.

The exhaust ductwork is hooked up and the joints are taped.

You have used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct.

The dryer is level 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.

CLEAN THE LINT FILTER

• After each load.

• To shorten drying time.

• To operate more energy efficiently.

Do not operate your dryer without the lint filter in place.

Frame Front

Filter

Door

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 effi ciency.

•Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some fabrics.

GETTING STARTED

1.Load your dryer loosely – DO NOT overload.

2.Close the door.

3.Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see pages 24, 25, 26).

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.

• When the cycle is complete, “End” will appear in the display.

•Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your dryer.

•The Drying, Cooling, and Wrinkle Prevent indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the cycle.

Do not place anything on top of your dryer while it is running.
