Installation Location Requirements

Warning

Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating the dryer! It is important that you review this entire manual before installing and using the dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.

The installation requires:

• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See Venting the Dryer.
• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Connecting Electric Dryers .
• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lb (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.
• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.

Do not operate the dryer at temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

NOTE

• The floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under the entire dryer. Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.
• For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. The standard pedestal is 15 inches (38.1 cm). You will need 18 inches (46 cm) from the garage floor to the bottom of the dryer.

Clearances

Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for clearances of inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:

• Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.
• Additional clearances should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer. For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Closet Ventilation Requirements

Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet.

One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm2 must be installed no lower than 6 feet above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm2 must be installed no more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grills in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable.

Final Installation Check

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation with the following tests and the Installation Test (Duct Check) on the following page.

Testing Dryer Heating

GAS MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.

When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.

ELECTRIC MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.

The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.

Checking Airflow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6-inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.

Checking Levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

Checking Venting

Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable reduction in drying performance occurs, check duct for obstructions and blockages.

Installation Test (Duct Check)

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of the dryer. This test should be performed to alert you to any serious problems in the exhaust system of your home.

• This dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.

NOTE

The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If the dryer was warmed up during installation, run the AIR DRY cycle for a few minutes to reduce the interior temperature.

To activate the installation test:

1 Remove the drying rack and literature, and then close the door.

Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as in may affect the accuracy of the results.

2 Press and hold the POWER, Temp., and Signal buttons until and a usage count alternate in the display. (The usage count indicates the number of cycles run with no load during the last cycles.)

3 Press the START/PAUSE button.

The dryer will start the test, which will last about minutes. The heat will be turned on and the temperatures in the drum will be measured and displayed. A chime sounds when the test portion of the cycle is complete.

4 Check the display for results.

During the test cycle, monitor the Flow Sense™ display on the control panel. If no bars are displayed, when the cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust system is severely restricted, the display will show four bars. Other problems may also be shown with error codes. See the chart below for error code details and solutions.

Four bars indicates that the exhaust system is severely restricted. Have the system checked immediately, as performance will be poor.

5 End of cycle.

At the end of the test cycle, will display. The test cycle will end and the dryer will shut off automatically after a short delay.

• Check the error code before you call for service

• Check the duct condition

If the Flow SenseTM LED is turned on, check the exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.

NOTE

When the dryer is first installed, this test should be performed to alert you to any existing problems with the exhaust duct in your home.

However, since the test performed during normal operation provides more accurate information on the condition of the exhaust duct than does the installation test, the number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same.

Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in inaccurate results.

Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of this manual for complete exhaust system and venting requirements.

Restricted or Blocked Airflow

Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or bends.

Check for blockages and lint buildup.

Make sure the ductwork is not crushed or restricted.

OPERATION

Using the Dryer

1 Clean the Lint Filter

If the lint filter has not already been cleaned, lift out the filter and remove the lint from the last load. This will help ensure the fastest and most efficient drying performance. Make sure to reinstall the filter, pressing down until it clicks firmly into place.The dryer will not operate without the lint filter in place.

2 Load the Dryer

Load the dryer with the wet laundry from the washer. If the load is extra large, you may need to divide it into smaller loads for proper performance and fabric care.

3 Turn on The Dryer

Press the POWER button to turn ON the dryer. The cycle LEDs will illuminate and a chime will sound.

4 Select a Cycle

Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction until the LED for the desired cycle is on. The preset temperature, dry level, and option settings for that cycle will be shown. Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed if desired. Refer to the Cycle Setting and Options page for details.

NOTE: Not all options or modifiers are available on all cycles. A different chime will sound and the LED will not come on if the selection is not allowed.

5 Begin the Cycle

Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. The cycle can be paused at any time either by opening the door or by pressing the START/PAUSE button.

If the cycle is not restarted within 60 minutes of being paused, the dryer will shut off and the settings will be lost.

6 End of Cycle

When the cycle is finished, the chime will sound. Immediately remove your clothing from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If Wrinkle Care is selected, the dryer will tumble briefly every few minutes to help prevent wrinkles from setting in the clothes.

Check the Lint Filter Before Every Load

Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning for more information.

Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or missing lint filter will damage the dryer and articles in the dryer.

Sorting Loads

Fabric Care Labels

Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that include instructions for proper care.

Group Similar Items

For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle.

Different fabrics have different care requirements, and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others. For best fabric care results, always dry fabrics with similar care requirements together.

Loading the Dryer

Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your dryer and your clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fire. Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances. Washing clothes will not completely remove oil residues. Failure to obey this warning may result in fire, explosion, or death.

Loading Tips

• Combine large and small items in the same load.
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble and dry properly.

NOTE

• Do not use methylated spirits, solvents, or similar products.
• Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can damage the surface.

Cleaning the Interior

Wipe around the door opening and seal with a soft, damp cloth to prevent lint and dust buildup that could damage the door seal.

Clean the window with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent, then wipe dry.

The stainless steel drum can be cleaned with a conventional stainless steel cleaner, used according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they may scratch or damage the surface.

Cleaning Around and Under the Dryer

Vacuum lint and dust from around the dryer and underneath it regularly. Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable reduction in airflow or drying performance occurs, immediately check ductwork for obstructions and blockages.

Maintaining Ductwork

Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup once per month and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable reduction in airflow or drying performance occurs, immediately check ductwork for obstructions and blockages. Contact a qualified technician or service provider.

Cleaning the Lint Filter

Always clean the lint from the filter after every cycle.

To clean, open the dryer door and pull the lint filter straight up. Then:

1 For everyday cleaning, roll any lint off the filter with your fingers, or

2 Vacuum the lint filter.

3 If the lint filter has become very dirty or clogged with fabric softener, wash the lint filter in warm, soapy water and allow it to dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

NOTE

NEVER operate the dryer without the lint filter in place. NEVER operate the dryer with a wet lint filter.

Troubleshooting

FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When I press a button, why does my dryer beep and then nothing happens?

A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn off Control Lock, turn the dryer on, then press and hold the button that has *Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds.

Q: Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?

A: Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers. A lint filter which is full of lint or clogged with fabric softener sheet residue can reduce the airflow to the point that the time required to dry clothing will be greatly increased. Another factor affecting dry time is your home exhaust system. An exhaust system which is dirty and clogged with lint, or is excessively long, needs to be professionally cleaned or repaired.

Q: Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes?

A: This is how the Wrinkle Care feature works. The dryer runs briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours after the cycle finishes. This feature is designed to help prevent wrinkles from setting in when the dryer is not unloaded immediately after the cycle is finished.
