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.

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.
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.

WARNING
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.

• 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:

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.

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

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.
4. Refer to previous sections in this manual for other important exhaust venting system requirements.
5. 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.
6. Installer MUST anchor this gas laundry center or to the floor with approved Mobile Home Installation Kit – P/N 137067200.

Clearance Requirements
IMPORTANT

• 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.

Installation In a Recess or Closet

1. A laundry center installed in a recess or closet MUST be exhausted outdoors.
2. No other fuel burning appliance shall be installed in the same recess or closet as a gas laundry center.
3. Your laundry center needs space around it for proper ventilation. See the “Clearance Requirements” chart.
4. A minimum of 120 square inches of inlet ventilation opening to the recess or closet is required for proper air flow to the laundry center.
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.

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.
