the start of its first cycle.
If you receive an L2 code, there may be a problem with your
home power supply keeping the dryer's heater from turning
on. See "Troubleshooting."
If you receive an AF code, your dryer vent may be crushed or
blocked. See "Troubleshooting."
NOTE: You may notice a burning odor when the dryer is first
heated. This odor is common when the heating element is first
used. The odor will go away.
Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first side to
side, then front to back.
If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block.
Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for
levelness.

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.
This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the cycles and features described.
The following is a guide to starting your dryer. Please refer to

3. Press the POWER button then rotate the dial to select either
an Automatic or Manual Cycle. The preset settings and drying
time for the cycle chosen will be displayed.
NOTE: A default 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 default 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 Automatic Cycle
NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow green when the
feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is
selectable. The light will not glow when the selection is
unavailable with the cycle or option combinations selected.
• Press the POWER button.
• Rotate the dial to select an Automatic Cycle.
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
• Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the
load to be. As the cycle runs, the control senses the
dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for
the selected Dryness Level.
NOTE: Most loads may be dried using Normal, which is
shown in boldface type on your control panel. Normal is the
energy preferred dryness level and will use the least energy.

How Automatic Cycles Work
The AccelerCare TM function improves drying performance
with Auto Moisture Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle
as moisture is extracted from clothing. A thermistor
(electronic temperature sensor) and moisture sensing strips in
the dryer drum help measure the amount of moisture in the
clothes as they tumble. An electronic control determines the
load type to help save time, avoid overdrying, and increase
the accuracy of the end dryness level. After the first 5 minutes
of an automatic cycle, the estimated time display will adjust
based on the approximate load size, cycle, dryness level
selected and amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the
clothes have reached approximately 80% of the dryness level
selected, the estimated time display will adjust again,
showing the final drying time. The AccelerCare TM feature
takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric
care.
To use a Manual Cycle
NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow green when the
feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is
selectable. The light will not glow when the selection is
unavailable with the cycle or option combinations selected.

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.
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
shrinking or wrinkling.
• If you dry sheets in a mixed load or large items in the Bulky
Items cycle, rearrange the load when the signal sounds. This
will aid in the drying process.
You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status
indicator lights.
