Step-by-step installation

Make sure you have a qualified technician install the dryer. Step by step installation instructions start below.

Do not remove the protective film on the door before completing the product installation. If you remove the protective film before the installation is complete, the door may get scratched or damaged during installation.
Make sure the installation location allows enough space for the dryer door to be fully open.

STEP 1 Install the exhaust system

Select a location and move the dryer to the site. For easy access, we recommend you install the dryer in the same location as your washer.
Install the exhaust system as instructed in the “Exhaust ducting guide” section.

STEP 2 Connect the gas line

Before connecting the gas line, make sure you have read the “Gas requirements” section on page 18.

Remove the protective cap from the gas pipe.
Apply an LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)-safe compound or 1.5 wraps of Teflon tape to all threaded connections.
Connect the gas supply to the dryer. An additional fitting is required to connect the 3/4” (1.9 cm) female thread end of a flexible connector to the 3/8” (1 cm) male threaded end on the dryer. Tighten up the fitting over all threads.
Turn on the gas supply, and check for any leaks using a soap solution. If a leak is found, tighten the connections and try again. DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

STEP 4 Level the dryer

To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.

Gently slide the dryer into the desired location.
Use a level (A) and check the levelness of the dryer from side to side and front to back.
If the dryer is not level, turn the leveling feet (B) left or right to adjust the height.
Once the dryer is level, make sure the dryer stands firmly on the floor.
Plug in the dryer.

STEP 5 Power on (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 6.

STEP 6 Final check

When the 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.

For gas models:

The gas is supplied properly with no leaks.

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

Before you start

Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer.

Sort and load

Put one wash load in the dryer at a time.
Do not put heavy and light 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.
Overloading reduces tumbling performance, 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.

Functional prerequisite

Lint filter

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

Turn off the dryer.
Open the door, and pull out the lint filter (A) from inside the drum.
Remove the lint that has accumulated, and then clean the lint filter.
Reinsert the lint filter, and then close the door

Operations

Control panel

Simple steps to start

Press POWER to turn on the dryer.
Turn the Cycle Selector to select a cycle.
Change the cycle settings (Temp. and Time) as necessary.
Optionally, you can activate options available by pressing the relevant button (Wrinkle Prevent).
Press START/PAUSE.

To change the cycle during operation

Press START/PAUSE to stop operation.
Select a different cycle.
Press START/PAUSE again to start the new cycle.

Maintenance

Keep the dryer clean to prevent decreased performance and to lengthen its life cycle.

WARNING

Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service Personnel - Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: Control board and inlet valve.

Cleaning

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.
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.

Drum

Remove any stains from the drum with an all-purpose cleaner.
Tumble old towels or rags to remove any remaining stains or cleaning substances. Stains may still be visible but will not affect subsequent loads.

Powder coated drum

To clean the powder coated drum, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for easily marred surfaces. Remove cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.

Dryer exterior

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
Protect the surface from sharp objects.
Do not place any 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 the 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 airflow.

Troubleshooting

Checkpoints

If the dryer operates abnormally, first check the list of problems in the table below and try the suggested actions.

The dryer does not work.

Make sure the door is latched shut.
Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
Press or tap START/PAUSE again if the door is opened during a cycle.
Clean the lint filter.

The dryer does not heat.

Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
Some cycles do not require heat. Check the selected cycle again.
For a gas dryer, make sure the gas supply is on.
Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
Turn off the Eco Dry option for the NORMAL or TIME DRY cycles. When the Eco Dry option is on, the dryer performs an air dry process at the beginning of the cycle to reduce energy consumption. The air dry process does not use heated air, so you may feel that the dryer is not being heated, but this is normal. (applicable models only)

The dryer does not dry.

Check the actions for “The dryer does not run” and “The dryer does not heat” sections.
Make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely.
Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.
Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
Dry heavy items and light items separately.
Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may require repositioning to ensure even drying.
The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels and restart the dryer.
The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
Clean the lint filter.

The dryer is noisy.

Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.
It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
Make sure the dryer is leveled as outlined in the installation instructions.
It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system

Items are unevenly dried.

Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose a higher dryness level or a cycle that involves a higher dryness level.
If one heavy item is dried with a light load, such as one towel with sheets, the heavy item might not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level.
For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light items separately.

The dryer smells.

Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the drum, and exhausts it outside.
When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the room before using the dryer.
Use a cycle featuring the Refresh function. If odors persist, wash and dry the item again.

There is lint on clothes.

Make sure to clean the lint filter before every load. For clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the filter during the cycle.
Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they must be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants).
Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
Check pockets thoroughly before drying, then dry clothes.
Remove lint inside the drum before drying.

Items are still wrinkled after WRINKLE PREVENT (WRINKLE-CARE, WRINKLE RELEASE) process.

Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
Load fewer items. Load similar-type items.
Take out the items immediately after drying is complete

Water drips from the nozzle when STEAM CARE starts.

This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.

Sprayed water is not visible during STEAM CARE.

Sprayed water is difficult to see when the door is closed.

Drying takes too long.

Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level is reached.

The drying time can change according to the type and amount of laundry. See the cycle chart for reference.

Information codes

An information code is displayed with the temperature and time LEDs. First, all eight LEDs turn on, followed by one or two LEDs blinking. Check the following tables for their meanings.
