	• 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	<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>Safety
	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.	<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>information
	• 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

1.Remove the external ground connector’s screw and connect the ground wire (green or unwrapped) of the power cable to the screw.

CAUTION

-To connect the ground wire to the neutral position without through contact A (cabinet ground), contact a technician. This is not user serviceable.

-Ring-type terminals are recommended. If using strap terminals, make sure they are tightened.

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.

•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 filling 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.

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.

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 final checklist in Step 7 below.

STEP  7  Final check

When installation is complete, confirm 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 flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct.

•The dryer is level and is sitting firmly on the floor.

•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 confirm 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.)	<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>Installation
will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.)
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
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.

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 first time.

•If the test result displays “CLg or Cg” (the duct system is blocked), refer to the “Ducting requirements” section on page 14 and the “Exhaust ducting guide” section below, and then take proper measures to correct any problems. If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results. Follow the proper procedures when testing the dryer.

•Even if the test result is normal (“End or 0”), the duct system could be blocked slightly. Properly install all duct work according to the installation instructions in this manual.

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 lint-trapping screws.

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 flap opens and closes freely. We recommend that you to clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.

WARNING

•To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible 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.
