Untitled-12 82019-12-12 12:21:50
SAVE THESE 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 signicant 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 re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and can create a re 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.

WARNING
• 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” (1 cm) deep well socket.
STEP 4 Connect the water hose
The dryer must be connected to a cold water tap using the provided water hoses.
1. Close the cold water tap. If you have a
washer’s cold water hose attached to
the cold water tap, unscrew and remove
the hose. Then, connect the female end
of the Y-connector to the cold water
tap.
2. Connect the straight end of the water
hose to the Y-connector.
3. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an
additional two-thirds turn. Do not
overtighten because the coupling may
be damaged.

STEP 5 Level the dryer
To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.
Installation
Using a level (A), check if the dryer is
level side to side and then front to back.
If the dryer is not level, turn the leveling feet (B) clockwise to lower the dryer or
counterclockwise to raise the dryer.
NOTE
• To set the dryer to the same height
as your washer, fully retract (A)
the leveling feet by turning them
counterclockwise, then loosen (B) the
feet by turning them clockwise. Once
the dryer is the same height as the
washer, follow the directions above to
level the dryer.
• 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.

STEP 6 Power on (for gas models)
Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then,
plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer’s installation and operation
using the nal checklist in Step 7 below.
STEP 7 Final check
When installation is complete, conrm that:
• The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
• The exhaust ductwork is connected, and the joints are taped.
• You have used rigid or stiff-walled exible metal duct material, not plastic exible duct.
• The dryer is level and is sitting rmly on the oor.
• The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.
For gas models:
• The gas is supplied properly with no leaks (For gas models only).
CAUTION
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 conrm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

Vent blockage test
After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is
properly installed. The Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts
and reports any blockage or problems. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save
energy.
The Vent Blockage Test must run when the dryer is cool. If the dryer warms up after
the installation check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal
temperature.
Running the vent blockage test
1. Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door. (If there are any clothes or
