,, Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. Ifflexible 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.
/_To
WARNING
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, wpees, and wpe removers.
Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-
like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can,
under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

WARNING
coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.
Gas leaks may occur inyour 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.

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.
,, Ifa 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 the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.
,, Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.
,, 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
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.
,, Ifexhaust 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 once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then
check ducting for obstructions.
,, 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.

b. 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.
if you have a dryer and washer
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
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.
10. Make sure all gas connections (on gas models) and exhaust, and electrical connections are complete.
Plug in your dryer, and then check its operation by using the checklist on the next page.
11. 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.

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 the 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. 1
2. Using a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.
3. Using unnecessarily long ducts that have many
elbows.
4. Using crushed or clogged venting or ducts.

To select a cycle, rotate the Cycle Selector dial to the desired cycle.
The indicator light by the cycle name will illuminate. The NORMAL, HEAVY
DUTY, BEDDING, SANITIZE, PERM PRESS, WOOL, DELICATES, ACTIVE
WEAR, ECO NORMAL, and TOWELS cycles are Sensor Dry cycles.
Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer
off when the load reaches the dryness level you have selected with the Dry
Level Selection Button (see below).
ECO NORMAL - This cycle reduces energy usage by up to 20% compared to
the Normal Dry cycle. It adjusts the cycle time and temperature for increased
efficiency.
NORMAL - The normal cycle is for most fabrics including cotton, linens, and
normally soiled garments.
(If this cycle is selected, the Eco Dry function is enabled by default. For more
information, please refer to the descriptions about the "Eco Dry" option.)
HEAVY DUTY- Use this cycle to get high heat for heavy fabrics such as
jeans, corduroys, or work clothes.
BEDDING - For bulky items such as blankets, sheets and comforters.
SANITIZE - Sanitizes garments by infusing high temperature heat deep into
the fabric during the drying cycle. Use this cycle to keep your bedding and
curtains clean through sanitization.
PERM PRESS - Dry wrinkle-free cottons, synthetic fabrics, knits, and
permanent press fabrics automatically.
EngBh- 21
WOOL - For machine washable and tumble dryable wool only.
DEMCATES - The DELICATES cycle is designed to dry heat-sensitive items at
a low drying temperature.
ACTIVE WEAR - The ACTIVE WEAR cycle is for exercise wear and outdoor
wear such as sports jerseys, training pants, water-repellent jackets and other
performance clothing. Thick fabrics like a zipper or velcro closure of a jacket,
or training socks may not be completely dried.
TOWELS - To dry bath towels and similar items.
QUICK DRY - Provides a 30 minute drying cycle.
TIME DRY - The TIME DRY cycle allows you to select a cycle time in minutes.
(If this cycle is selected, the Eco Dry function is enabled by default. For more
information, please refer to the descriptions about the "Eco Dry" option.)
AIR FLUFF - The AIR FLUFF cycle tumbles the load in room temperature air.
REFRESH - This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors
from loads consisting of one to four dry items. In this cycle a small amount
of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with
heat.
WRINKLE AWAY - The WRINKLE AWAY cycle removes wrinkles from clothes
stored in closets, etc. It provides wrinkle release via optimized steam care. You
can change the drying time. (Minimum time : 20 minutes)
* For best results, load no more than 3 items.
The display window shows the estimated time remaining in the cycle after
you have pressed the Start/Pause button. The estimated time remaining may
fluctuates 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.

labeled Tumble Dry Medium.
Med Low - For heat lower than Medium. Use to dry synthetic or washable knit
fabrics.
Low - For heat sensitive items labeled Tumble Dry Low or Tumble Dry Warm.
Extra Low - Provides the lowest heated drying temperature possible.
When using Manual Dry cycles, you can adjust the drying time by pressing the
time selection button.
During the Sensory Dry cycle, the time light indicator is off because exact
drying times are determined by fluctuating humidity levels.
Therefore, the actual drying time may differ from the displayed time.
