IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
• Ensure the entire laundry center exhaust system is clean and free of lint and debris
prior to the installation of your new laundry center. The entire exhaust system
should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal
usage. Failure to comply with cleaning your exhaust system will increase the RISK
of FIRE.
• DO NOT install the laundry center with flexible plastic or flexible foil venting material.
Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint.
These conditions will obstruct laundry center airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• 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
or grate of any mesh size is allowed to cover the outdoor exhaust opening.
• Install the laundry center according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
• Laundry center installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Prevent Fire
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THE APPLIANCE.
DO NOT wash or dry items that have
been previously cleaned in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning
solvents, kerosene, waxes, or other
flammable or explosive substances. DO
NOT store these items on or near the
laundry center. These substances give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
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.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of ventilating
air. DO NOT stack or place laundry or
throw rugs against the front or back of
the laundry center.
DO NOT spray any type of aerosol into,

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Clean the lint screen before or after each
load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen
housing and exhaust duct should be
cleaned approximately every 18 months
by qualified service professional. An
excessive amount of lint build-up in these
areas could result in inefficient drying and
possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
The dryer operation of a laundry center
produces combustible lint. The dryer must
be connected to an outdoor exhaust.
Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation of
dust, dirt, and lint around the opening and
in the surrounding area.
WARNING
DO NOT continue to use the laundry center

sign of mechanical breakdown and lead
to fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for 2 weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the
washer, turn on all hot water faucets
and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen
gas is flammable; DO NOT smoke or use
an open flame during this time.

and/or damage to the laundry center
Protect Children
• Risk of suffocation and injury from
entrapment. Do not allow children to
play on or in the laundry center. Close
supervision of children is necessary
when the laundry center is used. As
children grow, teach them the proper,
safe use of all appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and
other packing materials after the
laundry center is unpacked. Children
might use them for play. Cartons
covered with rugs, bedspreads or
plastic sheets can become airtight
compartments.
• Keep laundry products out of children’s
reach. To prevent personal injury,
observe all warnings on product labels.

Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electrical shock. Check with a licensed
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
Water Supply Requirements
Grounding requirements
1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the
event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of
electrical shock by a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
2. Since your washer is equipped with
a power supply cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug, 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 or
in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 (latest edition), or in Canada, the
Canadian electrical code C22.1 part 1.
If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding
prong on the power supply cord. In
situations where a two-slot receptacle
is present, it is the owner’s responsibility
to have a licensed electrician replace it
with a properly grounded three prong
grounding type receptacle.
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be
installed within hose length of your washer’s
water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 inch
(1.9 cm) with threading for laundry hose
connection. Water pressure MUST be
between 20 and 120 psi. Pressure difference
between hot and cold cannot be more than
10 psi. Your water department can advise you
of your water pressure.
Drain System Requirements
1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals
(64.3 L) per minute.
2. A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4 in. (3.18
cm) minimum.
3. The standpipe height above the floor :
Minimum height: 24 in. (61 cm)
Maximum height: 96 in. (244 cm).

1. Power cord with
grounded prong.
CAUTION
Do not, under any
circumstances, cut,
remove, or bypass
the grounding
prong.

Exhaust System Requirements
Duct Work Requirements
Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid
or flexible metal duct and approved vent
hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that
open when the dryer is in operation. When
the dryer stops, the dampers automatically
close to prevent drafts and the entrance of
insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5
cm) clearance between the vent hood and
the ground or any other obstruction.
NOTE
Drain hose length is 59 in. (150 cm). For
installations requiring a longer drain hose,
use hose P/N 137098000, available from
an authorized parts distributor.
NOTE
For installations requiring a longer
drain hose, have a qualified technician
install a longer drain hose (according to
your model number) available from an
authorized parts distributor. For drain
systems in the floor, install a siphon break
kit available from your local hardware
store.
1. 96” (244cm) max.
2. 24” (61 cm) min.
If your present system is made up of plastic
duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a
rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also, ensure
the present duct is free of any lint prior to
installing dryer duct.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install a laundry center with
flexible plastic or metal foil venting
materials. Flexible venting materials are
known to collapse, be easily crushed and
trap lint. These conditions will obstruct
laundry center airflow and increase the
risk of fire.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can create
excessive drying times and fire hazards.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your laundry
center.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• A laundry canter must be exhausted
outdoors.
• DO NOT exhaust laundry center into
a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a
crawl space or any concealed space of
a building.
• A laundry center produces combustible
lint. If the laundry center 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.
• Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation
of lint around the outdoor exhaust
opening and in the surrounding area.

your new laundry center, inspect the
outdoor exhaust opening and remove any
accumulation of lint around the outdoor
exhaust opening and in the surrounding
area.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• DO NOT allow combustible materials
(for example: clothing, draperies/
curtains, paper) to come in contact
with exhaust system. The laundry
center 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
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 install flexible plastic or flexible
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.
Exhaust Direction
Directional exhausting can be accomplished
by installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow
directly to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent
elbows are available through your local parts
distributor or hardware store.
See Clearance Requirements
17
PREINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install the laundry center where
gasoline or other flammables are kept or
stored. Installation must be a minimum of
18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor if the
laundry center is in a garage. Failure to
do so can result in death, explosion, fire
or burns.
NOTE
90° quick-turn elbows
are required to meet
minimum installation
depth.
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:
1. Connect an inclined or digital
manometer between the laundry center
and the point the exhaust connects to
the laundry center.
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.
Install male fittings in the correct direction
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust
system is acceptable, certain extenuating
circumstances could affect the performance
of the laundry center:
• Only 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.
• 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.
Manufactured or Mobile Home
Installation
1. Installation MUST conform to current
Manufactured Home Construction &
Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-
80 or the Standard For Mobile Homes,
CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
2. The laundry center 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 the laundry center 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.

as a gas laundry center.
3. Your laundry center needs space
around it for proper ventilation. See
the“Clearance Requirements” chart.
4. A minimum of 120 square inches of inlet
ventilation opening to the recess or
closet is required for proper air flow to
the laundry center.
F
or other than straight back venting, a quick-
turn 90° dryer vent elbow must be installed to
achieve 0” (0 cm) installation.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR LAUNDRY
CENTER:
• In an area exposed to dripping water
or outside weather conditions. The
ambient temperature should never
be below 60° F (15.6° C) to maximize
detergent effectiveness.
• In an area where it will come in contact
with curtains, drapes, or anything that
will obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
• In an area where gasoline or other

WASHER CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Cycle Settings
Washing Temperature
The appropriate washing temperature
will automatically be indicated for the
cycle selected. To change the preset
temperature, press the temp button to scroll
to the desired setting. Select a wash water
temperature according to fiber content,
colorfastness and soil level.
To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures
are available with every cycle. If a
temperature is not available for the cycle,
it cannot be selected by pressing the temp
button.
The temperature selected for the cycle will
be remembered and recalled each time that
cycle is selected in the future.
All wash water temperatures are automatically
regulated to maximize detergent effectiveness
and improve washing performance. The
water heater setting and its distance from
the washer, water usage in other parts of
the home, and seasonally low ground water
temperature in some geographic areas can
affect water temperature.
sanitize (on select models)
Use the sanitize setting to clean and sanitize
heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics including towels,
bedding, cloth diapers, and children’s clothing.
It is recommended that you set your water
heater to 120°F (49°C) or higher to ensure
proper performance during this cycle. If the
setting is lower or the load is extra large, the
cycle time may be extended.
When used with the heavy duty, towels,
and optic whites cycles, the sanitize setting
will kill 99.9% of bacteria with no carryover
of bacteria between loads. No bleach or
harsh chemicals are needed, but higher
temperatures are required. Please check
fabric care labels to prevent damage.
allergen (on select models)
Removes dust mites and dander from
household objects. The temperature does
increase on this setting.
NSF Protocol P351

Washers
The wash water is heated by an internal boost
heater to a maximum of 152°F (67°C) as the
load tumbles. Cold water is added to cool
down the load prior to drain and spin.
As a precaution, the washer door remains
locked when the water temperature reaches
130°F (55°C)
NOTE
The heavy duty, towels, and optic whites
with sanitize setting cycles have been
designed to meet the requirements of NSF
P172 protocol for sanitization efficacy.
NOTE
If the wash cycle is paused or canceled
while the internal drum temperature is
above 130°F (55°C), the door will remain
locked until it cools. You may manually
perform a rinse & spin cycle to cool the
internal temperature sooner.
NOTE
If the voltage at your outlet is under 110v,
the internal heater may not adequately
heat the wash water. If the cycle is
interrupted while the water is heating, the
final temperature of the wash water may
be lower and sanitation may be reduced.
NOTE
The heavy duty, optic whites and
towels cycles with the allergen option
selected have been designed to meet the
requirements of the NSF P351 protocol
for allergen reduction efficacy. These
cycles and settings will kill dust mites
and eliminate at least 95% of pet dander.
Since higher temperatures are required,
please check fabric care labels to prevent
damage.

WASHER CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
hot
Use this setting for heavily soiled white or
colorfast cottons and blends.
warm
Use this setting for normally soiled white or
colorfast cottons or blends.
cool (on select models)
Some warm water will automatically blend
with cold tap supply to achieve a precise
cold. Use this setting for lightly soiled non-
colorfast items, knits, delicates, and hand
washables.
eco cold
Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent
to temperature of cold tap supply. Use this
selection for fabrics and colors that are
prone to dye transfer. For use with cold
water detergents.
Max (on select models), high, medium and
low (on some models) spin speeds are
available for each cycle. The spin speed
and/or duration of final spin vary from model
to model and cycle to cycle.
Increasing the spin speed will extract more
water, decrease drying time and conserve
energy. Decreasing the spin speed will
reduce wrinkling.
Select low spin speed (on some models) to
gently spin items that should be line dried.
Use no spin to omit the final spin at the
end of the cycle. The load will be very wet.
Remove items from the wash drum to drip
dry or select a spin only cycle to remove
excess water at a more convenient time. See
Cycle Selection for Spin Only option.
Spin speed
Adjust the wash time based on the soil level
of each load. Solid soil (on select models),
heavy, normal, light and extra light (on
some models) soil levels are available.
Soil level
NOTE
The washer will ALWAYS use a small
amount of HOT water to dissolve the pack
when the PODS

option has been selected.
Cycle Options
The default options for each cycle will
automatically be chosen when a cycle is
selected. To protect fabrics, not all options
are available for all cycles. If an option is
not available for a cycle, the indicator will
not light.

DRYER CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
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.
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 energy efficiency rating is based on the Normal Cycle using the Normal temperature
setting and the 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 have preset times of 15
minutes with a preset temperature of high.
Dryness levels will not be an available option
when using either of the timed drying cycles.
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.
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 3 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.

that can
be washed
together.
• Sort by recommended cycle and water
temperature.
• Separate white, light, and colorfast items from
dark and non-colorfast items.
• Separate items that shed lint from items
that attract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and
corduroy items will pick up lint from towels,
rugs, and bedspreads.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly
soiled items.
• Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate
items from durable items.
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.

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.

A. 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.
B. 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.
C. 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.
D. 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.
E. 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.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
F. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a flexible drain hose
to carry water from the washer to the stand pipe
of your home. You will hear water flowing into your
stand pipe. This is a normal part of the operation of
the washer.
G. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters the
dispenser system, it is common to hear a water
flowing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly
based on the water pressure in your home.
H. DOOR LOCK Your washer is equipped with a
door lock with an electric solenoid. There will be
a clicking sound as the washer door is locked or
unlocked.
I. DRAIN/RECIRCULATION PUMPS Your washer is
equipped with multiple high velocity system pumps.
It is normal to hear humming and gurgling sounds
as water is either pumped from the washer during
the drain phase or recirculated during the prewash
and wash phases. Both of these sounds are normal and indicate that your pump is
functioning correctly.
J. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to drive the drum to high spin speeds
to extract water from your load. You will hear a sound associated with these higher spin
speeds. This sound is normal and will vary slightly as the spin speed varies with load
size and cycle selected.
