Special provisions for mobile home installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent path
• Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors.
• Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and
turns.
• When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as
possible.
• Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
• Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance
• Use the following Vent system chart to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in
the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specified will:
• Shorten the life of the dryer.
• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will
help to achieve the best drying performance.

Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything
flammable on it (even after washing).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
Follow these basic steps to start your dryer. Please refer to
specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
1. Clean lint screen before each load. See "Cleaning the Lint
Screen."
2. Place laundry into dryer and shut door.
3. Press POWER.
4. Point the dial to an Auto or Manual Cycle. The preset settings
for Auto or Manual Cycles will illuminate. The estimated (auto
cycle) or actual (manual) cycle time (in minutes) will show in
the display.
NOTE: A preset time is displayed when an automatic cycle is
selected. During the first few minutes of the drying process,
the cycle time may automatically vary from the preset time
based on the size and fabric type of the load. Toward the end
of the drying process, the estimated time display will adjust
again, showing the final drying time.
To use an Auto Cycle
• Select an Auto Cycle. Auto cycles will default to the last
dryness setting used for that cycle.
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried
on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
• Select DRYNESS to adjust how dry you want the load.
The time displayed is an estimated length of the cycle
based on the Dryness selected. As the cycle runs, the
control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the
time automatically for the selected dryness level.
NOTE: Time is not adjustable for Automatic Cycles. Pressing
the Timing Up or Down buttons will cause a triple beep,
indicating that the time cannot be changed.
To make changes to the Dryness and/or Options during
an Auto Cycle:
• Press PAUSE/CANCEL once.

Drying tips
• Follow care label directions when they are available.
• If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
• Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits and synthetic fabrics.
• Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This
could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased
shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
• Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
• Refer to the Auto or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart (in
the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads.
Drying temperature and Dryness are preset when you
choose an Auto Cycle. You can choose a different
dryness level, depending on your load by pressing the
DRYNESS button to select MORE DRY or LESS DRY.
• If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,
you must press TIMING Up or Down. Adjust the
temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing TEMP
ADJUST until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual
Cycles.
You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status
indicator lights.

Sensing
When a cycle is first turned on, the SENSING light illuminates
until a wet item is detected.
• In an Auto Cycle, if a wet item has not been detected within
5 minutes, the Sensing light will turn off.
• In a Manual Cycle, if a wet item is not detected within
5 minutes, the Sensing light will turn off and the Damp light
will turn on.
Wet
The WET light will turn on when a wet item has been detected in
the dryer. The Wet light will remain on until:
• The damp dry point is reached in an Auto or Manual Cycle.
Damp
The DAMP light indicates that the load has reached the damp dry
level.
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your
load. If an Auto Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated
cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness
level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is running, the display shows
the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to
handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down
depends on the load size and dryness level.
