Untitled-3 8 2019-06-26  5:43:42
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 signicant 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.

2. Loosen or remove the screws from the center terminal block.
3. Connect the neutral wire (white or center wire) and ground wire (white) to the center screw of the terminal block. Tighten the screw.
4. Connect the other wires to the outer terminal block screws. Tighten the screws.
5. Tighten the strain relief screws.
6. Insert the tab of the terminal block
cover into the rear slot of the dryer. Secure the cover with a hold-down screw.
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.
4. Connect the angled end of the water hose to the lling valve at the bottom of the rear frame. Turn the coupling manually until it is tight.
5. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an additional two-thirds turn. Do not overtighten because the coupling may be damaged.
6. If you detached the cold water hose from your washer, attach the hose to the open end of the Y-connector, tighten the coupling by hand until it is tight, and then, using a pliers, tighten an additional two-thirds turn.
7. Open the cold water tap, and then check for any leaks.
Installation
If the Y-connector cannot be directly connected to the cold water tap, use the short hose. See the “Using the short hose as an extension” section on page 26.

B
A B
To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.
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, conrm 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.
Installation
For gas models:
• The gas is supplied properly with no leaks (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 conrm 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.
NOTE
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
other items in the drum, the test will not give accurate results.)
2. Press the Power button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the Adjust Time and Dryness buttons for 3 seconds. “InS or In” appears in the dryer’s
display. (If you have started other procedures before the Vent Blockage Test, the dryer will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.)
3. Press the Start/Pause (Hold to Start) button. The Vent Blockage Test starts immediately. During the test, the number indicator makes a circle in 6 clockwise steps. The test takes about 2 minutes. Do not open the door during the test.
4. After 2 minutes, when the test is complete, the results are displayed and the dryer sounds a tone. If status of the duct system is normal, “End or 0” appears and the dryer sounds a completion tone. If the duct system can not exhaust properly, “CLg or Cg” appears and the dryer sounds an alarm tone. If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display. For information about the code, see the “Information codes” section on page 53.
- To stop or cancel the Vent Blockage Test, press the Power button to turn off your
dryer.
- During the test, if “dc” appears in the display, make sure the door is closed. If “C1” is
displayed, see if there is laundry inside drum. If there is, stop the test and remove it. Then, start the test again.
- The results remain on the display for about 5 minutes and then automatically turn
off. You can turn the results off immediately by pressing the Power button.
Installation
NOTE
• During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns. The Vent Blockage Test is used to check for problems in the current duct system when the dryer is installed for the rst time.

• Even if the test result is normal (“End or 0”), the duct system could be blocked slightly.

Exhaust ducting guide

Ducting
1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection. Never use
Installation
3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.
Cleaning
Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent ap opens and closes freely. We recommend that you to clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.
• To prevent re, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal exible ducts of any kind.
• Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer’s performance.
• Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
• Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.
