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.
- DO NOT spray any type of aerosol into, on or near laundry center at any time.
- DO NOT use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
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.
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.
- DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the 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.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the laundry center
Protect Children
- Risk of suffocation and injury from entrapment. Do not allow children to play on or in the laundry center. Close supervision of children is necessary when the laundry center is used. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
- Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the laundry center is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight compartments.
- Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
- Remove the laundry center doors to prevent accidental entrapment before the laundry center is removed from service or discarded.
- Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned laundry centers are still dangerous – even if they will sit for
“just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old laundry center, please
follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Contact your State/Provence Energy Office, Local Electric and Water Utilities
or Conservation Program Office or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more
information on recycling your old laundry center.

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.
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.
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.
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.

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
- DO NOT install flexible plastic or flexible foil venting material.
- DO NOT exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m) duct length 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.
See Clearance Requirements
NOTE
90° quick-turn elbows are required to meet minimum installation depth.
WARNING
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:
- Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the laundry center and the point the exhaust connects to the laundry center.
- Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
- Read the measurement on the manometer.
- 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.
Install male fittings in the correct direction
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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Refer to previous sections in this manual for other important exhaust venting system requirements.
- When installing a gas laundry center 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.
- 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.

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
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.
NSF Protocol P172

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.

Cycle Selection
Selecting the right cycle to save energy
This dryer has been specifically designed with options to help you save energy
and at the same time utilize the optimal drying setting for your clothing.
The energy efficiency rating is based on the Normal Cycle using the Normal
temperature setting and the normal dryness level.
Some cycles save more energy than others. Cycles that use the least amount of
heat save the most energy and display the leaf icon on the console. Use the
lowest heat setting (auto and timed dry cycles) and less dry setting (auto dry
cycles) to save on energy and prevent over drying your clothing.
Press the power button to turn on the unit.
Turn the cycle selector in either direction or repeatedly press the cycles
button (depending on your model) to scroll to the desired cycle. The indicator
light for the cycle selected will be illuminated and the estimated drying time
for Auto Dry cycles or the actual drying time for Time Dry cycles will be
displayed on the LED display screen.
Default settings and options will automatically be indicated for the cycle
selected. In most cases cycle settings and options can be changed. See Cycle
Settings, Cycle Options, and Setting Charts for more details.
To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel button before
selecting a new cycle. Turning the cycle selector ring or pressing the cycles
button WILL NOT change the cycle.
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.
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.
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 sensors may not detect
enough moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few
minutes. If this occurs, then select
the time dry cycle to dry such loads.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or
gas pressure can also affect drying time.
NOTE
Models equipped with the Predictive Dry feature use the first 90 seconds of
Auto Dry cycles to sense the load in the dryer.
During this 90 second period the LED display will show 3 circling lines. When
the sensing is complete, the LED display will show the remaining cycle time in
minutes and accurately count down to the end of the cycle.
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.
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.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
To avoid fire hazard, DO NOT use heat to dry items containing feathers or
down, foam rubber, plastics similarly textured, rubber-like materials. Use the
time dry cycle and the eco dry (no heat) setting.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Dryer
You may or may not hear the following sounds from the laundry center dryer:
A. WATER VALVE (Steam models only.) The flow of water is controlled by
electric solenoids. During operation there may be a clicking sound as the
valve opens and closes to control the water flow.
B. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum is supported by a set of suspension
rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling sound when the dryer
starts. This may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period of time,
or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended period,
creating a temporary flat spot on the edge of the roller. The noise should
dissipate as the dryer operates and the flat spots smooth out.
C. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is equipped with a high volume air handling
system. In some installations there may be some sounds associated with air
movement throughout the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and exhaust
system. This is normal and can vary with load size and type.
D. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.) The flow of gas is controlled by electric
solenoids. During operation there may be a clicking sound as the valve opens
and closes to control the gas flow.
E. GAS BURNER (Gas models only.) When the burner is operating, there may be
sounds generated as the air flow mixes with the gas flame. This noise is
normal and will only occur when the gas is ignited in the combustion tube.
Washer
You may or may not hear the following sounds from the laundry center washer:
F. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a flexible drain hose to carry water from the
washer to the stand pipe of your home. You will hear water flowing into your
stand pipe. This is a normal part of the operation of the washer.
G. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters the dispenser system, it is common
to hear a water flowing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly based on
the water pressure in your home.
H. DOOR LOCK Your washer is equipped with a door lock with an electric
solenoid. There will be a clicking sound as the washer door is locked or
unlocked.
I. DRAIN/RECIRCULATION PUMPS Your washer is equipped with multiple high
velocity system pumps. It is normal to hear humming and gurgling sounds as
water is either pumped from the washer during the drain phase or recirculated
during the prewash and wash phases. Both of these sounds are normal and
indicate that your pump is functioning correctly.
J. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to drive the drum to high spin
speeds to extract water from your load. You will hear a sound associated with
these higher spin speeds. This sound is normal and will vary slightly as the
spin speed varies with load
size and cycle selected.
