WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

n Read all instructions before using the dryer. n Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch re. .

n Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned

in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

n Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.

n Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the doors to the drying compartment.

n Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. n Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed

to the weather.

n Do not tamper with controls.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

n Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt

any servicing unless specically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

n Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

n Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like materials.

n Clean lint screen before or after each load. n Keep the grille on the rear of the dryer free from the

accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

Stack Kit

If space is at a premium, the stack kit allows the dryer to be installed on top of the washer.

12" Pedestal

Color-matched pedestals raise the washer and dryer to a more comfortable working height.

Heat Pump Technology

A typical dryer uses large amounts of energy; this dryer consumes a fraction of the energy by recycling and reclaiming heat. This dryer is a ventless heat pump dryer that uses a refrigeration system to dry and recycle the same air. The laundry is dried with low temperatures; therefore it may feel cooler than expected during and after the drying process.

The heat pump dryer’s heating phase is longer than in traditional dryers. If possible, do not open the dryer door during the process as heat can escape from the drum and can make longer drying times.

Heat Pump Unit

Benets of a Heat Pump

• ENERGY: Regenerates energy to reduce overall energy consumption.

• PERFORMANCE: Allows ﬂexibility to manage drying performance and energy savings.

• FABRIC CARE: Capability to use less heat than vented dryer.

• VENTLESS DESIGN: Allows installation in more locations throughout the home.

New Sounds from a Heat Pump

• Dryer runs on a compressor like your refrigerator and you may notice a hum from the compressor.

• The water from wet clothes is pumped out to your drain or water tank. You may notice a gurgling sound occasionally.

Condenser is heating up the air

Air blower

Evaporator is drying air and discharging condensation water

Use Automatic Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Automatic Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Cycles, heat pump unit temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and can result in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time.

As-needed cleaning

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry.

Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.

To wash lint screen:

1. Roll lint off the screen with

your ﬁngers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen

with hot water.

3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water

and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.

4. Rinse screen with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with

a clean towel. Reinstall screen in dryer.

CLEANING THE BOTTOM FILTER

Clean bottom ﬁlter after every 5 loads.

The ﬁlter is located in bottom corner of dryer.

1. Open the ﬁlter door on the bottom of the dryer and grab

the handle to pull out the ﬁlter. Remove the foam from the bottom ﬁlter. Clean the ﬁlter foam and the ﬁlter by hand or rinse with water – do not wash the ﬁlter foam in a washer. Wring out the ﬁlter foam – do not insert it in the bottom ﬁlter dripping wet.

2. Replace the ﬁlter foam on the bottom ﬁlter. Replace the

bottom ﬁlter in the ﬁlter chamber. Fold the ﬁlter handle down and close the bottom door.

IMPORTANT:

120-/240-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only electrical supply (or 3- or 4-wire, 120/208-volt electrical supply, if speciﬁed on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.

n Do not use an extension cord. n If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualiﬁed electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

n This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire

electrical supply connection. A neutral ground conductor (white wire) is provided between the power supply neutral connection (center terminal) and the dryer external grounding point (green screw). If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, one end of the neutral ground conductor must be removed from the external ground connector (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center screw) of the terminal block. When both ends of the neutral ground conductor are secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor. The green ground wire of the 4-wire power cord must be secured to the dryer cabinet with the green ground screw.

n If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral

ground wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional External Ground 3-wire connection”.

n A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the

appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations after 1996, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors.

If your outlet looks like this:

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL-listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA-Type 14-30R. The ground wire

n Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper

cable (with ground wire), covered with ﬂexible metallic conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.

n 10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum) at least

5 ft. (1.52 m) long.

If using a power supply cord:

Use a UL-listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

n A UL-listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240-volt

minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

■

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This dryer is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dryer: if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
