WARNING

FIRE HAZARD
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this laundry center, comply with the warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these Important Safety Information and warnings could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

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.

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 if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
· Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, or other flammable or explosive substances. Do not store these items on or near the washer. These substances give off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.
· DO NOT put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the washer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials.
· DO NOT add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

The following are specific requirements for proper and safe operation of your laundry center.
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.
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.

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.

WARNING

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.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.

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.

16 PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Max. Number of 90° turns

The laundry center must be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Prior to installing 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.

MAXIMUM LENGTH of 4″ (102 mm) Rigid Metal Duct
VENT HOOD TYPE (Preferred)

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.

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.

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.

See Clearance Requirements

17 PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

NOTE
90° quick-turn elbows are required to meet minimum installation depth.
WARNING

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.

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.
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.

· 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 3280 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.

Install male fittings in the correct direction

4. Refer to previous sections in this manual for other important exhaust venting system requirements.

5. When installing a gas laundry center

18 PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

into a mobile home, a provision must be made for outside make up air. This provision is to be not less than twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
6. Installer MUST anchor this gas laundry center or to the floor with approved Mobile Home Installation Kit – P/N 137067200.
Clearance Requirements
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 flammables are kept or stored.
· On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm). To minimize vibration or movement, reinforcement of the floor may be necessary.
· Do not install laundry center on pedestal.

5. Inlet air ventilation to the recess or closet can be satisfied by adding 120 square inches of opening, equally divided at the top and bottom of the door and located 3 inches from the bottom and top of the door.
or, adding 120 square inches of ventilation openings to the top, sides or rear wall of the closet wall, if the wall is adjacent to an open room, hallway, or exterior.
or, a louvered door with equivalent air openings equaling 120 sq. inches of ventilation for the full length of the door is acceptable.
It is NOT approved to derive the 120 sq. inches of ventilation from the space between the door edges and the casing or the floor. ** The presence of forced heating and air-conditioning vent openings in the closet does NOT satisfy the 120 square inch ventilation requirement to the closet.
NOTE
To achieve an installation with 0″ (0 cm) clearance for the back of the dryer (for other than straight back venting), a quickturn 90° dryer vent elbow must be installed as described previously in this manual.

27 INSTALLATION

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
· This appliance MUST be properly grounded. Electrical shock can result if the laundry center is not properly grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for proper grounding.
· DO NOT use an extension cord with this laundry center. Some extension cords are not designed to withstand the amounts of electrical current this laundry center utilizes and can melt, creating electrical shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the laundry center within reach of the receptacle for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing some slack in the cord. Refer to the Pre- Installation Requirements section of this manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.

For a Grounded, Cord-connected Laundry Center:
1. The laundry center MUST be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2. After you purchase and install a 3-wire or 4-wire power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug that matches your wiring system, 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. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
3. DO NOT modify the plug you’ve installed on this appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
· A U.L.-approved strain relief must be installed onto power cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
· DO NOT use an aluminum wired receptacle with a copper wired power cord and plug (or vice versa). A chemical reaction occurs between copper and aluminum and can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle is a copper wired power cord with a copper wired receptacle.
NOTE

For a Permanently Connected Laundry Center:
The laundry center MUST be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

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.
NOTE

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.
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
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.
allergen (on select models)
Removes dust mites and dander from household objects. The temperature does increase on this setting.
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.

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.

Soil level

NOTE
If changes to the settings or options are attempted after the cycle starts, you will hear several beeps when the buttons are pressed. To change settings or options, press start/pause, make the new selections and press start/pause again.

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.
Spin speed
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.

All settings or options selected for the cycle, except sanitize (on select models), perfect steamTM (on select models), allergen (on select models) and stain treatment options, will be remembered and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future. To return to factory settings, press and hold soil and spin buttons at the same time and hold for 3 seconds until the confirmation signal sounds. To prevent unintentional and accidental exposure of delicate material to excess heat or unexpected steam, the sanitize, perfect steamTM, allergen, and all stain treatment options will need to be reselected each time.

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.

45 WASHER CONTROLS AND SETTINGS

Stain Treatment Options (on select models)
Your washer is equipped with powerful stain treatment tools. Depending on your model, use one of the options below to deal with tough stains on your garments. See step 5 in the Operating the Washer section in this manual for details on adding stain additives to the dispenser.
StainTreat (7300 series)

During the wash cycle, stain treatment and detergent circulate during the agitating load for approximately 20 minutes. SmartBoost pump technology mixes the stain treatment and detergent before the washer advances to the main wash cycle.
· Any Stain Recirculating wash solution will be heated by boost heater.
· Blood Recirculating wash solution will NOT be heated by boost heater to prevent setting blood stains.
· Chocolate Stain wash time is extended with additional heating by boost heater.
perfect steamTM (on select models)
Select this option to add approximately 20 minutes of tumbling in steam.
NOTE
· Steam may not necessarily be visible inside drum during a steam wash cycle.
· Steam may not be present during entire steam wash cycle.

IMPORTANT
· If steam is selected, rinse temperatures will be elevated.
· If the wash cycle is paused or canceled during a steam cycle, the door will remain locked until it cools. You may manually perform a rinse & spin cycle to cool the internal temperature sooner.
· During a steam cycle, steam exiting from the rear vent of the washer is normal and not cause for alarm.
Wash Cycle Options
extra rinse (on select models) Use this option when additional rinsing is desired to remove excess dirt and detergent. It is recommended for heavily soiled loads or if household members have sensitive skin.
pure rinse (on select models) Use this option to reduce detergent residues and fragrances that can irritate skin which rinses cleaner than the extra rinse cycle.
extended refresh (on select models) Select extended refresh if you will be unable to remove the load right after the cycle is complete. The washer recognizes the load has sat too long and will do a rinse and spin to keep the load fresh for up to 12 hours. When you are ready to remove the load during the extended refresh segment, you must press power to end the cycle and open the door.
PODS® (on select models) Select this option when using a detergent pack in a model equipped with a PODS® button (on select dispenser only). This option will divert the flow of water to the detergent pack compartment optimizing the detergent pack performance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NOTE
Initial cycle times for auto dry cycles are only estimates, the actual drying time may differ slightly from the time displayed.
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
