IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Definitions
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used
to alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. Obey all safety messages that
follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or
death.
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 fire. To reduce the risk of fire
due to contaminated loads, the final part
of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping
a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat is
dissipated.
DO NOT dry articles containing rubber,
plastic or similar materials such as bras,
galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby
pants, plastic bags and pillows that may
melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when
heated, can under certain circumstances
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
DO NOT operate the dryer if the lint
screen is blocked, damaged or missing.
Fire hazard, overheating and damage to
fabrics can occur.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
DO NOT use fabric softeners or products
to eliminate static unless recommended by
the manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
Before you throw away your old
washer or dryer:
• Remove doors
• Remove the electric power cord
• Secure all hoses and drain pipes to
prevent water from leaking out and
creating a slip hazard.
Prevent injury
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability
during operation, the dryer must be installed
and electrically grounded by a qualified
service person in accordance with local
codes. Installation instructions are included
in this manual for reference. Refer to the
installation sections for detailed grounding
procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new
location, have it checked and reinstalled by
a qualified service professional.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to
the dryer, the electrical power cord of a
gas dryer must be plugged into a properly
grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet.
The third grounding prong must never be
removed. Never ground the dryer to a gas
pipe. DO NOT use an extension cord or an
adaptor plug.
• ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the
electrical supply before attempting any
service or cleaning. Failure to do so can
result in electrical shock or injury.
DO NOT use any type of spray cleanser
when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous
fumes or electrical shock could occur.
• To prevent injury, DO NOT reach into the
dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until the
dryer has stopped completely before
reaching into the drum.
Prevent injury and damage to the
dryer
• All repairs and servicing must be performed
by an authorized service provider unless
specifically recommended in this Use &
Care Manual. Use only authorized factory
parts.
DO NOT tamper with controls.
DO NOT sit on, step on or stand on the
dryer. DO NOT rest heavy loads on top. The
dryer is not meant to support weight.
DO NOT install or store the dryer where
it will be exposed to water and/or to the

foil venting material.
DO NOT exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m) duct length
if installing semi-rigid venting.
DO NOT use screws, rivets or other
fasteners that extend into the duct to
assemble the exhaust system.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Never exceed more than 4-90˚ elbows in the
exhaust duct system. Exceeding the length
of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed
in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH” charts can
cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust
system. Plugging the system could create a
fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT allow combustible materials
(for example: clothing, draperies/
curtains, paper) to come in contact with
exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT
be exhausted into a chimney, a wall,
a ceiling, or any concealed space of
a building which can accumulate lint,
resulting in a fire hazard.
DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the
vent system, or use any screws, rivets
or other fasteners that extend into the
duct to assemble the exhaust system. No
screen, grate, or guard
of any mesh
size is allowed
to cover the
exhaust
opening. Lint
can become
caught in the screen, grate,
guard, or on the screws or
rivets, clogging the duct work and
creating a fire hazard as well as
increasing drying times. Use an
approved vent hood to terminate the
duct outdoors, and seal all joints with
metal foil tape. All male duct pipe fittings
MUST be installed downstream with the
flow of air.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• A clothes dryer must be exhausted
outdoors.
DO NOT
exhaust dryer into a chimney,
a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space
or any concealed space of a building.
• A clothes dryer produces combustible
lint. If the dryer is not exhausted
outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled
into the laundry area.
An accumulation
of lint in any area of the home can
create a health and fire hazard.
• The dryer must be connected to an
exhaust outdoors.
• Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation
of lint around the outdoor exhaust
opening and in the surrounding area.
14
PREINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
In installations where the exhaust system is
not described in the charts, the following
method must be used to determine if the
exhaust system is acceptable:
Correct Incorrect
Install male fittings in correct direction:
1. Connect an inclined or digital
manometer between the dryer and the
point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to
air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the
manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUST
NOT be higher than 1.0 inch of water
column. If the system back pressure is
less than 1.0 inch of water column, the
system is acceptable. If the manometer
reading is higher than 1.0 inch of water
column, the system is too restrictive
and the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust
system is acceptable, certain extenuating
circumstances could affect the performance
of the dryer:
• Only the rigid metal duct work should be
used.
• Venting vertically through a roof may
expose the exhaust system to down drafts
causing an increase in vent restriction.
Manufactured or mobile
home installation
1. Installation MUST conform to current
Manufactured Home Construction &
Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-
80 (formerly the Federal Standard for
Mobile Home Construction and Safety
for Mobile Homes, Title 24, HUD Part
280) or Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside
(outdoors, not beneath the mobile
home) using metal ducting that will not
support combustion. Metal ducting
must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter
with no obstructions. Rigid metal duct
is preferred.
3. If dryer is exhausted through the floor
and area beneath the mobile home
is enclosed, the exhaust system MUST
terminate outside the enclosure with
the termination securely fastened to a
non-combustible portion of the mobile
home structure.
4. Refer to previous sections in this
manual for other important exhaust
venting system requirements.
5. When installing a gas dryer into a
mobile home, a provision must be
made for outside make up air. This
provision is to be not less than twice
the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
6. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer
or (2) dryer mounted on pedestal to
the floor with approved Mobile Home
Installation Kit - P/N 137067200.
NOTE
Use of 90° quick-
turn elbow required
to meet minimum
installation depth.
• Running the exhaust system through an
uninsulated area may cause condensation
and faster accumulation of lint.
• Compression or crimping of the exhaust
system will cause an increase in vent
restriction.
• The exhaust system should be inspected
and cleaned a minimum of every 18
months with normal usage. The more the
dryer is used, the more often you should
check the exhaust system and vent hood
for proper operation and that it is free of
obstructions.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install the dryer where gasoline
or other flammables are kept or stored.
If the dryer is installed in a garage, it
must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm)
above the floor. Failure to do so can result
in death, explosion, fire or burns.

Connecting the electrical
system
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe electrical installation of
your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions
can create electrical shock and/or a fire
hazard.
Grounding requirements - electric
dryer (USA)
For a grounded, cord-connected
dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of
electrical shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electrical current.
2. After you purchase and install a 3-wire
or 4-wire power supply cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug that matches
your wiring system, the plug MUST be
plugged into an appropriate, copper
wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. If
in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
3. DO NOT modify the plug you’ve
installed on this appliance. If it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected
dryer:
The dryer MUST be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring system;
or an equipment grounding conductor
must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding
terminal or lead on the appliance.
The dryer, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes and the National Electrical code
ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.
INSTALLATION
NOTE
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply
will have longer drying times than dryers
operating on 240 volt power supply.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• A U.L.-approved strain relief must be
installed onto power cord. If the strain
relief is not attached, the cord can
be pulled out of the dryer and can
be cut by any movement of the cord,
resulting in electrical shock.
DO NOT use an aluminum wired
receptacle with a copper wired
power cord and plug (or vice versa).
A chemical reaction occurs between
copper and aluminum and can cause
electrical shorts. The proper wiring and
receptacle is a copper wired power
cord with a copper wired
receptacle.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• This appliance MUST be properly
grounded. Electrical shock can result
if the dryer is not properly grounded.
Follow the instructions in this manual for
proper grounding.
DO NOT use an extension cord with this
dryer. Some extension cords are not
designed to withstand the amounts of
electrical current this dryer utilizes and
can melt, creating electrical shock and/
or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within
reach of the receptacle for the length
power cord to be purchased, allowing
some slack in the cord. Refer to the
Pre-Installation Requirements
section of
this manual for the proper power cord
to be purchased.
WARNING
Improper grounding of the dryer may
cause serious injury or death. Check with
a licensed electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.

Press the power button to turn on the unit.
Turn the cycle selector in either direction
or repeatedly press the cycles button
(depending on your model) to scroll to the
desired cycle. The indicator light for the cycle
selected will be illuminated and the estimated
drying time for Auto Dry cycles or the actual
drying time for Time Dry cycles will be
displayed on the LED display screen.
Default settings and options will automatically
be indicated for the cycle selected. In most
cases cycle settings and options can be
changed. See
Cycle Settings, Cycle Options,
and
Setting Charts
for more details.
To change the cycle once it has begun,
press the cancel button before selecting a
new cycle. Turning the cycle selector ring
or pressing the cycles button WILL NOT
change the cycle.
Auto dry cycles
Auto dry cycles take the guesswork out of
selecting the correct drying time for each
load. Moisture sensors sense the moisture
level of the load as it tumbles through the
heated air. With auto dry cycles, the load
will automatically be dried at the selected
temperature to the desired dryness level.
Auto dry cycles save time and energy and
protect fabrics. When the load has reached
the selected dryness level, it will continue to
tumble, unheated, during a cool down period.
This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items
easier to handle during unloading.
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Selecting the right cycle to save energy
This dryer has been specifically designed with options to help you save energy and at the
same time utilize the optimal drying setting for your clothing.
The normal cycle was used to rate the dryer for energy efficiency. The normal cycle resets
to normal temperature setting, normal dryness level.
Some cycles save more energy than others. Cycles that use the least amount of heat save
the most energy and display the leaf icon
on the console. Use the lowest heat setting
(auto and timed dry cycles) and less dry setting (auto dry cycles) to save on energy and
prevent over drying your clothing.
Cycle selection
Drying times vary depending on size and
dampness of the load and fabric type. If the
load is too small or almost dry, the moisture
sensors may not detect enough moisture to
continue the cycle and the cycle may end
after a few minutes. If this occurs, then select
the time dry cycle to dry such loads.
Room temperature and humidity, type of
installation and electrical voltage or gas
pressure can also affect drying time.
Timed dry cycles
The timed drying cycles allow the selection
of exact drying times. The time dry cycle
allows the option to select drying time
settings ranging from 30 to 75 minutes
(depending on the model). Various drying
times and temperature settings can be
selected when using this cycle.
The fast dry cycles (on select models)
have preset times of 15, 18 or 20 minutes
(dependent on model) with a preset
temperature of high only.
Dryness levels will not be an available option
when using either of the timed drying cycles.
NOTE
Initial cycle times for auto dry cycles are
only estimates, the actual drying time may
differ slightly from the time displayed.
NOTE
Models equipped with the Predictive Dry
feature use the first 90 seconds of Auto Dry
cycles to sense the load in the dryer. During
this 90 second period the LED display will
show 2 circling lines. When the sensing
is complete, the LED display will show
the remaining cycle time in minutes and
accurately count down to the end of the
cycle.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
To avoid fire hazard, DO NOT use heat
to dry items containing feathers or down,
foam rubber, plastics similarly textured,
rubber-like materials. Use the time dry
cycle and the eco dry (no heat) setting.

STEPS
TIPS IMPORTANT
1. Prepare load
for drying.
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and
construction in the same load.
• Separate dark items from light-colored items.
Separate items that shed lint from those that
attract lint.
• Check for stains which may not have been
removed in washing. Repeat stain removal
process and wash again before drying. Dryer
heat may permanently set some stains.
• Place delicate, rubber coated, or small items
in a mesh bag (not included).
• Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are
heatproof and won’t damage the drum
finish. Close zippers; fasten hooks and loop
fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent
snagging and tangling.
DO NOT machine
wash items containing
fiberglass. Small
particles of fiberglass
left in drum may
transfer to fabrics in
other loads and cause
skin irritation and/or
damage to fabrics.
DO NOT wash water
resistant and water
repellent type clothing
or other materials.
2. Check that
the lint filter
is clean and
in place.
DO NOT operate
dryer without lint filter
in place.
3. Load the
dryer and
close the
door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will
fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to
tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.
• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on
top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• When drying large items, dry only two or
three items at a time. Fill out the load with
smaller items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two
or three similar items to improve tumbling action.
DO NOT overload
the dryer. To save
energy, time and
avoid uneven drying
and wrinkling avoid
overloading the dryer.
DO NOT over-dry.
Over-drying can cause
wrinkles, shrinkage, lint,
and a build up of static
electricity.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Normal operating sounds
B
C
D
E
A
You may or may not hear the following
sounds from your new dryer:
1. WATER VALVE (Steam models only.)
The flow of water is controlled by
electric solenoids. During operation
there may be a clicking sound as the
valve opens and closes to control the
water flow.
2. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer
drum is supported by a set of
suspension rollers. At times there may
be a thumping or rolling sound when
the dryer starts. This may happen if
the dryer has not been in use for a
period of time, or after a heavy load
has remained in the dryer drum for an
extended period, creating a temporary
flat spot on the edge of the roller. The
noise should dissipate as the dryer
operates and the flat spots smooth out.
3. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is
equipped with a high volume air
handling system. In some installations
there may be some sounds associated
with air movement throughout the
dryer, including the air duct, blower,
and exhaust system. This is normal and
can vary with load size and type.
4. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.) The
flow of gas is controlled by electric
solenoids. During operation there may
be a clicking sound as the valve opens
and closes to control the gas flow.
5. GAS BURNER (Gas models only.)
When the burner is operating, there
may be sounds generated as the
air flow mixes with the gas flame.
This noise is normal and will only
occur when the gas is ignited in the
combustion tube.
Before operating your dryer
Read the important instructions in this
section of the Use & Care Manual before
operating your dryer.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or
injury to persons, read the Important Safety
Information in this Use & Care Manual
before operating your dryer.

CARE AND CLEANING
Inside
• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form
on the lint filter and/or moisture sensing
bars from using dryer-added fabric
softener sheets. To remove this build-up,
wash them with warm, soapy water. Dry
the filter thoroughly and replace. DO NOT
operate the dryer without the lint filter in
place.
• If the dryer drum becomes stained from
non colorfast fabrics, clean the drum with
a damp cloth and a mild liquid household
cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before
drying the next load.
• Before cleaning the dryer drum interior,
unplug the electrical power cord to avoid
electrical shock hazards.
DO NOT use any type spray cleanser when
cleaning the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes
or electrical shock could occur.
• Every 18 months a qualified service
professional should clean the dryer
cabinet interior, lint screen housing and
exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint
and dust over time. An excessive amount
of lint build-up could result in inefficient
drying and possible fire hazard.
Outside
• Clean the dryer cabinet with mild soap
and water. Never use harsh, gritty or
abrasive cleansers.
• If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with
diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8
parts water). Rinse several times with clear
water.
• Remove glue residue from tape or labels
with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky
side of the tape or label.
Cleaning the filter
Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint
build-up on the filter restricts air flow, which
causes longer drying times. The filter is
located at the bottom of the door opening.
2. Press down the button on the top of
the filter to open the clamshell.
3. Gently clean the lint from the filter.
1. Remove the filter by pulling it straight
