A 4-wire system connection is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral. If you use the 4-wire system, you cannot ground the dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.

• Remove the terminal block cover plate. Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal block.

• A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight. Use a3 /8 ” (1 cm) deep well socket.

• Since january 1, 1996, the national electric code requires that new wiring (not existing) utilize a 4-wire connection to this dryer.

STEP 4 Connect the water hose (applicable models only)

The dryer must be connected to a cold water tap using the provided water hoses.

1. Close the cold water tap. If you have a washer’s cold water hose attached to the cold water tap, unscrew and remove the hose. Then, connect the female end of the Y-connector to the cold water tap.

2. Connect the straight end of the water hose to the Y-connector. Tighten the hose coupling by hand.

3. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an additional twothirds turn. Do not overtighten. You can damage the coupling.

4. Connect the angled end of the water hose to the filling valve at the bottom rear of the dryer. Turn the coupling by hand until it is tight.

5. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an additional twothirds turn. Do not overtighten. You can damage the coupling.

6. If you detached the cold water hose from your washer, attach the hose to the open end of the Y-connector, tighten the coupling by hand until it is tight, and then, using a pliers, tighten an additional two-thirds turn.

7. Open the cold water tap, and then check for any leaks.

If the Y-connector cannot be directly connected to the cold water tap, use the short hose. See the “Using the short hose as an extension” section on page 28.

Using the short hose as an extension

1. Close the cold water tap. If you have a washer’s cold water hose attached to the cold water tap, unscrew and remove the hose. Then, connect the short hose (B) to the cold water tap. Turn the coupling by hand until it is tight.

2. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an additional twothirds turn. Do not overtighten. You can damage the coupling.

3. Connect the Y-connector (A) to the brass male end of the short hose. Turn the coupling by hand until it is tight.

4. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an additional twothirds turn. Do not overtighten. You can damage the coupling.

5. Connect the angled end of the water hoses (C) to the filling valve at the bottom rear of the dryer. Turn the coupling by hand until it is tight.

6. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an additional twothirds turn. Do not overtighten. You can damage the coupling.

7. If you detached the cold water hose from your washer, attach the hose to the free end of the Y-connector, tighten the coupling by hand until it is tight, and then, using a pliers, tighten an additional two-thirds turn.

8. Open the cold water tap, and then check for any leaks.

STEP 5 Level the dryer

To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.

Using a level (A), check if the dryer is level side to side and then front to back. If the dryer is not level, turn the leveling legs (B) clockwise to lower the dryer or counterclockwise to raise the dryer.

NOTE

• To set the dryer to the same height as your washer, fully retract (A) the leveling legs by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen (B) the feet by turning them clockwise. Once the dryer is the same height as the washer, follow the directions above to level the dryer.

• Adjust the leveling legs only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

STEP 6 Power on (for gas models)

Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then, plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer’s installation and operation using the final checklist in Step 7.

STEP 7 Final Check

When installation is complete, confirm that:

• The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.

• The exhaust ductwork is connected, and the joints are taped.

• You have used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct.

• The dryer is level and is sitting firmly on the floor.

• The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.

• The gas is supplied properly with no leaks (For gas models only).

CAUTION

The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

Vent blockage test

After the dryer is installed, run the Vent Blockage Test function to check if the duct system is properly installed. Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts and reports any blockage or problems. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save energy.

NOTE The Vent Blockage Test function must run when the dryer is cool. If the dryer warms up after the installation check, run the Air Fluff cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature.

Running the vent blockage test

1. Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door. (If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, the test will not give accurate results.)

2. Tap to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously tap and hold Options for 3 seconds.

3. Turn the Navigation dial to select Vent Blockage Test, and then tap OK. Vent Blockage Test starts immediately.

- The test takes about 2 minutes and "Testing..." is displayed during the test.

CAUTION Do not open the door during the test.

NOTE If you have started other procedures before running Vent Blockage Test, the dryer will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.

4. After 2 minutes, when the test is complete, the results are displayed and the dryer sounds a tone. If status of the duct system is normal, an alarm triggers with the "No problems detected" message. If the duct system cannot exhaust properly, the check code appears, and the dryer sounds an alarm tone. For description about the code, see the “Installation check codes” section on page 32.

If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display. For description about the code, see the “Information codes” section on page 64.

- To stop or cancel Vent Blockage Test, tap to turn off your dryer.

- The results remain on the display for about 5 minutes and then automatically turn off. You can turn the results off immediately by tapping .

NOTE

• During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns. The Vent Blockage Test function is used to check for problems in the current duct system when the dryer is installed for the first time.

• If the test result displays check code (the duct system is blocked ), refer to the “Ducting requirements” section on page 16 and the “Exhaust ducting guide” section below, and then take proper measures to correct any problems. If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results. Follow the proper procedures when testing the dryer.

• Even if the test result is normal (“No problems detected”), the duct system could be blocked slightly. Properly install all duct work according to the installation instructions in this manual.

Installation check codes

NOTE

For other information codes, see the “Troubleshooting” section on page 64.

Exhaust ducting guide

Ducting

1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.

2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection. Never use lint-trapping screws.

3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.

Cleaning

Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. We recommend that you clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.

WARNING

• To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible ducts of any kind.

• Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer’s performance.

• Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.

• Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.

Door reversal

Type 1

1. Put a soft rug on the floor to rest the door on after you have removed it. This will prevent the door from being scratched.

2. Unplug the power cord.

3. Remove two door hinge screws.

4. Lift the door and remove it.

NOTE There is a screw on the back side of the hinge that will support the door as you unscrew the hinge screws.

5. Remove the two screws that are above and below the cut-out in the frame front.

6. Remove the two screws above and below the lever holder on the opposite side of the door opening.

7. Remove the two screws that hold the lever holder in place, and then remove the lever holder.

8. Re-insert the two screws that held the lever holder into the same screw holes, and then tighten.

01 Language selection

02 Welcome screen

03 Tutorial

Sort and load

• Put one wash load in the dryer at a time.

• Do not mix heavy and lightweight items together.

• To improve drying efficiency for one or two items, add a dry towel to the load.

• For best results, untangle items before inserting them into the dryer. Tangled items may degrade the drying efficiency or cause the door to open.

• Overloading reduces the tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying and wrinkling.

• Unless recommended on the care label, do not dry woolens or fiberglass items.

• Avoid drying unwashed items.

• Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol, gasoline, etc.

Lint filter

To prevent a risk of fire, make sure to clean the lint filter before or after every load.

1. Turn off the dryer.

2. Open the door and pull out the lint filter (A) from inside the drum.

3. Open the lint filter by separating it at the top. Remove the lint, and then clean the lint filter.

4. Close the lint filter, reinsert the lint filter into the dryer, and then close the dryer door.

CAUTION

• Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

• Do not use a damaged or broken lint filter. This may reduce performance and/or cause fire.

General cleaning and maintenance instructions

Control panel

• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.

• Do not spray liquid cleaning agents directly on the display of the dryer.

• Some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain removers may damage the control panel.

• When using liquid cleaning agents, apply them to the cleaning cloth. Do not apply them directly to the dryer. Wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.

Exterior

• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.

• Protect the surface from sharp objects.

• Do not place heavy or sharp objects or a detergent container on the dryer. They can scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.

• The dryer has a high-gloss finish on its entire surface. Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface.

Exhaust system

• Check and clean the exhaust system on a yearly or regular basis to maintain optimum performance.

• The external exhaust hood must be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper air flow.

Vent sensor

The dryer features a vent sensor that detects and notifies you when it is time to clean the ductwork. Check the following if you get the “Check the lint filter or vent condition” message when you turn on the dryer.

NOTE

• For duct installation, see Exhaust ducting guide on page 33 and Ducting requirements on page 16.

• The dryer may keep running even if the duct is clogged, but the drying time will be extended.

• When you get the message check the lint filter and the ducts, and clean them if necessary.

• If the message keep appears, it is because the duct is installed or connected with some restrictions (it’s too long or has too many bends). This is not a system failure. However, drying time may be extended or the drying performance may be degraded.
