• Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has

not tripped.

• Dryer door is closed.

This dryer automatically runs an installation diagnostic routine at 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 specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.

1. Clean lint screen before each load. See "Cleaning the Lint Screen."

2. Place laundry in dryer and shut door.

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. 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 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.

Level

The default dryness setting is Normal when an Auto Dry Cycle is selected. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing DRYNESS LEVEL and choosing More, Normal or Less. Selecting More, Normal or Less automatically adjusts the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.

The Dryness Level can be changed only with Automatic Cycles.

NOTE: The More/Less Dry settings are not available on the Sanitize cycle.

• Press the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature button if this option is desired.

• Press the CYCLE SIGNAL button to set end of cycle signal volume to desired level.

• Press the DAMP DRY CYCLE SIGNAL button to set damp dry signal volume to desired level.

• Press and hold START button until dryer starts (about

1 second).

Once an Automatic cycle has started, the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature and cycle signals can be adjusted. Press the PAUSE/CANCEL key twice to clear the settings, allowing you to select another cycle and Dryness Level.

NOTE: Time and Temperature are not adjustable for Automatic Cycles. Pressing the DRY TIME or TEMPERATURE buttons will cause a triple beep, indicating that the time cannot be changed.

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.

• Press POWER. Rotate the dial to select a Manual Cycle.

Press the DRY TIME up or down buttons until the desired drying time is displayed. Press DRY TIME, and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold DRY TIME, and the time will change by 5-minute intervals. The initial time displayed is the actual drying time.

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Automatic 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.

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.
