Important Safety Instructions
Save These Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your dryer, follow these basic precautions: W130

• Read all instructions before using the dryer.
• Install this dryer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connection of the dryer. All connections for electrical power, earth/ground and gas supply must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline or machine oils, vegetable or cooking oils, cleaning waxes or chemicals, dry-cleaning solvents, thinner, anything containing chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite, explode or cause fabric to catch on fire by itself.
• 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.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers, should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles containing foam or latex rubber or similarly textured rubber like materials, such as shower caps, water proof textiles, rubber-backed articles, and clothes or pillows filled with foam rubber pads.
• Do not tumble fibreglass curtains and draperies unless the label says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder with a damp cloth to remove particles of fibreglass.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Children less than three years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.
• Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.
• Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes. ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer and only use the dryer drum to dry textiles that have been washed in water.
• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked cabinet).
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.
• DO NOT operate the dryer if it is smoking, grinding or has missing or broken parts or removed guards and/or panels. DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices.
• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separated from a stack unit.
• Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT bypass the door safety switch by permitting the dryer to operate with the door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when the door is opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop tumbling when the door is opened or starts tumbling without pressing the START mechanism. Remove the dryer from use and call the service person.
• ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS disconnect the electrical power to the dryer before attempting service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
• Electric Models: If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
• Gas Models: If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Observe and be aware of other labels and precautions that are located on the machine. They are intended to provide instruction for safe use of the machine. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the dryer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

Before Drying

Energy Saving Tips

• Make sure the lint filter is always clean.
• Do not overload the dryer.
• Do not over dry items.
• Remove items to be ironed while still damp.
• Large loads of similar fabrics dry the most efficiently. However, dry permanent press in smaller loads to prevent wrinkling.
• Use the correct cycle for the type of fabric being dried.
• Locate your dryer so the exhaust duct is as short and straight as possible.
• Do not open the door during the drying cycle.
• Plan to do your laundry on low humidity days; your clothes will dry faster.
• Dry multiple loads of clothes one right after another so dryer interior does not have to be reheated for each load.

Helps and Hints
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, serious injury or death, clothes which have traces of any flammable substances such as cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. must not be put into the dryer.
W131

• The directions for installation and proper exhausting are given in the Installation Instructions which are included with the dryer.
• Static electricity may cause garments of synthetic fibers (as in lingerie) to cling together, especially if they are over dried. The use of a liquid fabric softener in the rinse water of the washer, or a fabric softener sheet in the dryer, will soften clothes and reduce static electricity.
• Do not wash or dry clothes that shed lint in the same load with permanent press or knit garments.
• Remove permanent press loads immediately after dryer stops.
• Follow the care labels on FLAME RETARDANT, SCOTCH GUARD™ , etc., garments for proper washing and drying.
• If loads should be damp for ironing, use the Damp Dryness setting, in an Automatic cycle.

Sort
If you have correctly sorted the items for washing, they should be properly sorted for drying too.

1. Sort by color.
2. Separate lint shedding fabrics and lint receiving fabrics. Towels, flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs, etc., shed lint. Corduroys, knits (including socks), permanent press, and synthetics attract lint.
3. Separate no heat, low heat and high heat items.

In any kind of drying, lightweight fabrics will dry faster than heavyweight fabrics. If mixed loads are dried together (such as sheets and towels), remove the lighter weight fabrics when they are dry to prevent over drying and wrinkling. The best method is to dry clothes which require the same time, temperature or dryness level in the same load.
Load
WARNING
Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing and may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.
W527

• Do not overload your dryer. Bulk, not weight, determines the load size. If the dryer is overloaded, it could cause discoloration or permanent heat damage to the load.
• There should be space in the dryer for the clothes to tumble freely and help to reduce wrinkles.
• Large and small pieces together make up loads which will tumble well. Permanent press loads should be smaller to provide room for tumbling. Proper tumbling allows for fewer wrinkles.
• A load can be too small. Just a few small pieces will not tumble properly. They will take longer to dry and they may be wrinkled. For small loads, add a couple of large towels or non lint shedding items to aid in tumbling.
• The following illustrations show the ideal load sizes for fabrics. The average load will fill the cylinder one third to half full when wet.

Operating Your Dryer

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons, read the Safety Information section before operating the dryer.
W520

Cycle Selection
The following cycle descriptions will help determine which cycle to choose depending on the type of laundry being dried.
NOTE: Always check fabric care label for proper care instructions.
Auto-Sensing
The Auto-Sensing drying cycle operation is determined by the type of cycle selected as well as the moisture sensing system, which can be set by changing the Dryness setting. Auto-Sensing cycles are Energy Saver cycles that help prevent over-drying.
When a wet load is put into the dryer it takes a certain amount of time to reach the desired dryness level. The time will vary with load size, type of fabric, amount of moisture in the load, air flow and the laundry room environment. The estimated time will be shown in the digital display.
NOTE: The time shown before starting the cycle is estimated by averaging the last 5 cycles run on the selected cycle/dryness combination.
Use Heavy Duty for heavy items such as blankets.
Use Regular for sturdy items like play or work clothes.
Use Perm Press for permanent press items and synthetics.
Use Delicate to dry delicate items.
NOTE: This is an ENERGY STAR®  certified dryer. To use the energy saving setting, select the Auto-Sensing Regular cycle, set the Dryness Selection to Near Dry, and turn on EcoDry.
NOTE: Use the Time Dry Cycle for No Heat tumble. Using Automatic cycles with No Heat will result in very short cycle times. Automatic cycles are designed to dry loads using heat to the dryness level selected.
Pet Plus™
The Pet Hair Remover cycle is used to remove pet hair from dry items. It is a set 10-minute cycle and can be used as a standalone refresh, or as pre-wash cycle before putting items in the washer. Anti-Static is on by default and can be turned off.
NOTE: Clean lint filter before each use. Excessive hair build-up may impact results. A second Pet Hair Remover cycle may be necessary if there is a large amount of hair in the lint filter.
The Pet Items cycle dries and refreshes bulky pet items. The default cycle is a 55-minute, high-temperature heat cycle with Anti-Static and Steam Boost on. This cycle can be fully customized to the pet item being dried. Temperature, Time, and Options can be adjusted as needed. You can save these cycles using the Favorited option to quickly use again.
NOTE: Clean out dryer cylinder after using Pet Plus cycles. Pet items may cause stains or odors on subsequent loads.
WARNING
This cycle is only intended for laundry items such as clothing, bedding, and pet items. It is not intended for pets or people.
W1073

Manual
There are two manual cycles: Time Dry and Quick Dry. These cycles will run for the set number of minutes shown on the digital display. The cycle time can be increased or decreased using the up and down arrow keypads. Select the temperature based on the fabric care label. The time and temperature selection may be adjusted manually at any time before or during the cycle. The time may need to be adjusted up if the items are still damp or down if the items are over dry.
Steam
The Steam Sanitize cycle sanitizes your laundry by killing 99.9% of common household bacteria. It is a 75-minute cycle that applies high-temperature heat to sanitize the load, as well as steam to help keep your laundry soft and wrinkle free. It is recommended for medium size loads and is not recommended for all fabric types. Be sure to follow fabric care labels.
To use Steam Sanitize, press the Steam Sanitize keypad and allow the cycle to complete uninterrupted. Time can be extended higher than 75 minutes by using the up and down arrow keypads.
NOTE: The Sanitize setting uses high heat. Check the fabric label for proper care instructions. The Steam Refresh cycle releases wrinkles and refreshes your items. It is recommended for 1-4 items. There are two preset cycles. The default cycle applies a medium-temperature heat for 30 minutes to the load. The alternate cycle applies a high temperature heat for 20 minutes.
To use Steam Refresh, press the Steam Refresh keypad and the default cycle for 30 minutes at medium heat will be initiated. To initiate the 20-minute, high- heat cycle, toggle the Temp selection to High. Select the 30-minute medium heat or 20-minute high heat temperature based on fabric type.
Bacteria tested by an independent lab were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Individual results may vary.
IMPORTANT: Do not use dryer sheets when using steam cycles.
IMPORTANT: Do not run steam with no load to help prevent water from staining the cylinder.
NOTE: Do not overload machine for steam cycles.
Overloading during a steam cycle may cause the load to have wet spots at the end of the cycle.
NOTE: Using steam on overly damp items may result in load not completely drying.

Selections
The following selections can be used to modify the currently chosen cycle. The default selections will be lit after choosing a cycle.
Temp
Press the Temp keypad to change the cycle’s temperature on Manual Cycles, Pet Items, and Steam Refresh. Choose from No Heat, Low, Medium, or High depending on fabric type.
NOTE: The No Heat cycle will take longer to dry items.
Dryness
Press the Dryness keypad to change the dryness level in an Auto-Sensing cycle. Choose from Damp, Less Dry, Near Dry or Dry.
Use Damp to leave load slightly damp for easier ironing.
Use Less Dry for lightweight items such as sheets and shirts.
Use Near Dry for normal loads.
Use Dry for heavy items such as blue jeans and blankets.
Over-drying can cause wrinkling, shrinking, excessive lint conditions, and will use more energy than necessary. To increase energy savings and to make sure loads are dried without over drying, set your Auto-Sensing loads on Near Dry or Less Dry. If items are damp or over-dry at the end of a cycle, increase or decrease the Dryness setting the next time these loads are dried. Remember the settings that work best to get ideal drying results. To finish drying damp items, use Quick Dry and adjust the time as needed.

Options
The following options can be used to modify the currently chosen cycle, adjust the signal volume, and save favorite cycles.
Extended Tumble
The Extended Tumble option prevents wrinkling by tumbling the clothes load after the end of the cycle every two minutes for up to 60 minutes. The display will show the time remaining. The Extended Tumble LED light will be lit during the Extended Tumble portion of a cycle. The option will end if the door is opened.
Extended Tumble can be used along with the Steam Boost and Anti-Static options. Steam Boost runs first, followed by Anti Static and then Extended Tumble.
NOTE: The Steam Boost option is not available with the ENERGY STAR ® setting.
Steam Boost
Use to release wrinkles and soften fabrics. Available with Auto Sensing Heavy Duty, Regular, and Perm Press cycles as well as Pet Items (Medium or High heat only). Dryness/Auto-Dryness must be set to Near Dry or Dry. Cannot be used with Eco Dry.
Steam Boost can be used along with the Anti-Static option. Steam Boost runs before Anti-Static.

electrical outlet.
• Make sure loading door is closed.
• Press Start/Pause button to start dryer.
• Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn’t blown or loose, or circuit breakers aren’t open.
• The dryer itself does not have an electrical fuse. An electric dryer has an electrical circuit with two fuses.
• Check if motor overload protector has cycled. Wait 10 minutes and try again.
Dryer won’t heat| • Electric dryers only – Some homes may have two fuses or circuit breakers for an electric dryer; both fuses or circuit breakers should be checked. Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn’t blown or loose, or that the circuit breakers aren’t open.
• Make sure control is not in Cooling part of cycle, Extended LED is lit, or that the Temp selection is not set to No Heat.
• Gas dryer only – Make sure equipment and main gas line valve is turned on.
• Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or needs cleaning.
• Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not been pushed in or has not been blocked.
Dryer doesn’t dry clothes satisfactorily| • Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or needs cleaning.
• Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not been pushed in or has not been blocked.
• Auto-Sensing cycle – Adjust Dryness selection.
• Manual cycles – Allow more or less time.
• Clean the lint filter.
• Make sure the load isn’t too small. Small loads may not tumble properly or dry evenly.
• The Auto-Sensing cycles are not suggested to be used for small loads such as two small towels. For those loads, use the Manual cycles.
• Check load being dried. Heavy items dried with lightweight items will not dry as quickly as the rest of the load.
• Refer to Sort section for proper sorting information.
Dryer is noisy| • Check dryer for foreign objects (nails, coins, bobby pins, metal, plastic toys, etc.). Remove items from dryer.
• Make sure dryer is level. Uneven leveling can cause vibration.
• Normal operating sounds include the heat source going on and off and the humming of air moving through the dryer and exhaust system.
Clothes are too wrinkled| • Check heat setting. Over drying can cause wrinkling.
• Check load size. Large loads may not tumble properly and may cause wrinkling.
• On Auto-Sensing cycles, try using Steam Boost to release wrinkles.
Clothes have odor| • Check room for odors before drying clothes. Any odor (fried foods, paint, varnish, cleaners, burning wood, etc.) will transfer to clothing as the dryer draws air from the room.
• Ventilate room before drying clothes.
Cycle advances too slowly| • When in an Auto-Sensing cycle, the time it takes depends on the type and size of the load being dried. When clothing has more moisture, the cycle takes longer than when the clothes are more dry.
Er, ro on digital display| • The dryer’s motor overload protector has cycled.
• The control can be cleared by pressing the Start/Pause button and the dryer can be restarted by pressing the Start/Pause button again.
• If this code is displayed again, remove the dryer from use and call a service person.
Items still wrinkled after the steam cycle.| • Do not overload the machine. Overloading the machine can cause wrinkles to not be completely removed.
Items are damp or wet after steam cycle.| • Do not overload the machine. Overloading during the steam cycle can cause the load to have wet spots at the end of the cycle.
• Do not use overly damp items. This may result in the load not drying completely.
Small amount of water on door or in the drum.| • When using the steam options, it is normal for condensation to occur.
Small amount of water on the floor in front of the dryer.| • Condensation may occur and drip from door when opened.
• Too small of a load may result in additional condensation on door. Try adding more items to the load.
Small amount of water on the floor behind the dryer.| • Check the hose connections and tighten them if needed.
• Check that the rubber washer is intact. If not, install the rubber washer.
