SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

w

WARNINg

To reduce the risk of injury to persons, follow all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could result in property damage, injury to persons or death.

Exhaust/Ducting:

• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of

the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the

laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.

• Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4-inch diameter

ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork can

cause a fire. Punctured ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.

• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should

obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is

not in use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with

no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing

your new dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for use

between the dryer and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only.

The use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which

extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the

efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.

For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR STEAM FUNCTIONS

w

WARNINg


• Do not open the dryer door during steam cycles. Failure to follow these instructions can result in a burn hazard.

• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,

washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they

give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• Do not fill the steam feeder with gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum during or after the

steam cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in a burn hazard.

• Do not fill the steam feeder with hot water (over 86 ˚F/30 ˚C).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

w

WARNINg


• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the ground

prong from the power cord. To prevent injury to persons or damage to the dryer, the electrical power cord must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet.

• For personal safety, this dryer must be properly grounded.

Failure to do so can result in electric shock or injury.

• Refer to the installation instructions in this manual for specific

electrical requirements for your model. Failure to follow these instructions can create an electric shock hazard and/or a fire hazard.

• This dryer must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet.

Electric shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded.

the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

• Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power cord. Always

grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. The power cord can be damaged, resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock.

• Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have

become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either

end. The power cord can melt, creating an electric shock and/or fire hazard.

• When installing or moving the dryer, be careful not to pinch,

crush, or damage the power cord. This will prevent injury and prevent damage to the dryer from fire and electric shock.

- Make sure that the exhaust connecting to the dryer is not kinked.

- Make sure that the dryer duct is clean and free of buildup : one way to check if the exhaust is clogged, is

to start the dryer on a normal cycle, go outside where the dryer is vented and check the airflow. If there is

no airflow or if the airflow is weak, then you may have a restriction (lint buildup) that needs to be removed.

Using the dryer while the “Flow Sense” light is on may create an unsafe environment.

Installation location requirements

w

WARNINg

Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating your dryer! It is important that you review this entire manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.

• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See Venting

Requirements(P.20).

• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Electrical Requirements(P.24).

• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.

• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or

sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

NOTE

• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1 inch (2.5 cm), install the Extended

Dryer Feet Kit. Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.

• For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need

18 inches (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.

Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating your dryer! It is important that you review this entire manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.

• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See Venting

Requirements(P.20).

• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.

1"* (2.5 cm)

29"

(73.6 cm)

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or

sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

• To reduce the risk of injury to persons, adhere to all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of

long sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury or death.

• The appliances are heavy. Two or more people are required

when installing the dryer. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury or death.

To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.

NOTE

Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

1. Position the dryer in the final location. Place a level across the top of the dryer.

Level

2. Use an adjustable wrench to turn the leveling feet. Turn clockwise to raise the dryer or counterclockwise to lower it.

Raise or lower the leveling feet until dryer is level from side to side and front to back.

Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.

Leveling Feet

• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Gently push on the top corners of the dryer to make sure that the dryer does not rock from corner to corner.

If you are installing the dryer on the optional pedestal, you must use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the dryer. The dryer leveling feet should be fully retracted.

• Do not crush or collapse ductwork. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• Do not allow ductwork to rest on or contact sharp objects.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• If connecting to existing ductwork, make sure it is suitable

and clean before installing the dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• Venting must conform to local building codes. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.


• Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid or flexible metal ductwork

inside the dryer cabinet and for venting outside. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of

combustible gases, DO NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl

space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building.


• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer with

plastic or thin foil ducting.


• The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with

no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing

your new dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• Rigid or semirigid metal ducting is recommended for use

between the dryer and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only.

The use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which

extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct

tape. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• To maximize operating results, please observe the duct length

limitations noted in the chart next page. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. You should obtain

the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in

use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• The Total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 8 ft.

(2.4 m)

• In Canada, that only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any,

specifically identified for use with the appliance by the

manufacturer shall be used. In the United States, that only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the

Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A, shall be used.

Special requirements for manufactured or mobile homes

Any installation in a manufactured or mobile home must comply with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards

Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 or Standard CAN/CSA Z240 MH and local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain whether your proposed installation will comply with these standards, please contact a service and installation professional for assistance.

• A gas dryer must be permanently attached to the floor.

• The electrical connection for an electric dryer must be a 4-wire connection. More detailed information concerning the electrical connection is provided in the section Connecting Electric Dryers.

• To reduce the risk of combustion and fire, the dryer must be vented to the outside.

• DO NOT vent the dryer under a manufactured home or mobile home.

• Electric dryers may be vented to the outside using the back, left, right, or bottom panel.

• Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using the back, left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may not be vented to the outside using the right side panel because of the burner housing.

• The dryer exhaust duct must be affixed securely to the manufactured or mobile home structure, and the exhaust duct must be made of a material that will resist fire and combustion.

It is recommended that you use a rigid or flexible metal duct.

• DO NOT connect the dryer exhaust duct to any other duct, vent, chimney, or other exhaust duct.

• Make sure the dryer has adequate access to outside fresh air to ensure proper operation. The opening for outside fresh air must be at least 25 in

2

(163 cm

2

).

• It is important that the clearance of the duct from any combustible construction be at least 2 inches (5 cm), and when venting the dryer to the outdoors, the dryer can be installed with a clearance of 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and back of the dryer.

• Please be aware that venting materials are not supplied with the dryer. You should obtain the venting materials necessary for proper installation.

Final installation check

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation with the following tests and Installation Test (Exhaust check) on the following page.

testing dryer heating

GAS MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.

NOTE

If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after approximately two minutes.

Electric models

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.

checking airflow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.

The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer.

Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inches

(1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.

checking levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back and side to side, and that all 4 leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

30


Installation test (Exhaust check)

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of the dryer. This test should be performed to alert you to any serious problems in the exhaust system of your home.

• Your dryer features FLOW SENSE

TM

, an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.

NOTE

The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If the dryer was warmed up during installation, run the AIR DRY cycle for a few minutes to reduce the interior temperature.

To activate the Installation test:

1. Remove the drying rack and literature, and then close the

door.

Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as it may affectthe accuracy of the results.

4. Check the display for results.

During the two minutes test cycle, monitor the FLOW SENSE TM display on the control panel. If no bars are displayed, when the cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust system is severely restricted, the display will show four bars.

Other problems may also be shown with error codes. Refer to the next page for error code details and solutions.

NO BARS:

OK

FOUR BARS:

RESTRICTED

5. END of Cycle.

At the end of the test cycle, will display. The test cycle will end and the dryer will shut off automatically after a short delay.

2. Press and hold the SIGNAL and TEMP. CONTROL buttons

and then press the POWER button.

This button sequence activates the installation test. The code

will display if the activation is successful.

3. Press START/PAUSE button.

The dryer will start the test, which will last about two minutes.

The heater will be turned on and the temperatures in the drum will be measured.

If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

• Check the duct condition

If the test displays four bars, check the exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.

Restricted or Blocked Airflow

Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or bends.

NOTE

When the dryer is first installed, this test should be performed to alert you to any existing problems with the exhaust duct in your home. However, since the test performed during normal operation provides more accurate information on the condition of the exhaust duct than does the installation test, the number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same.

Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in the wrong results.

Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust system. Refer to the

Venting the Dryer section of this manual for complete exhaust system and venting requirements.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before calling for service

Your dryer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If your dryer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service.

Problem

Dryer will not turn on

Dryer does not heat

Greasy or dirty spots on clothes

• Thermistor is malfunctioning.

Solutions

• Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a grounded outlet matching the dryer’s rating plate.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.


• Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open.

• Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.

• Make sure to use your dryer to dry only clean items, because dirty items can soil clean clothes placed in the same or subsequent loads.

• Stains on dried clothes are actually stains that were not removed during the washing process.

Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned according to the instructions for your washer and detergent.

• Turn off the dryer and call for service.

Display shows error code tE1 or tE2

Lint on clothes

Possible Causes

• Power cord is not properly plugged in.

• House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.


• Gas supply or service turned off

(gas models only).

• Fabric softener used incorrectly.

• Clean and dirty clothes being dried together.

Excess static in clothes after drying

Display shows error code PS

• Lint filter not cleaned properly.

• Laundry not sorted properly.

• Excess static in clothes.

• Dryer is overloaded.

• Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.

• Fabric softener not used or used incorrectly.

• Clothes dried too long (overdried).

• Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.

• Power cord connection is incorrect.

• Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.

• Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).

• See the Excess static in clothes after drying section below.

• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.

• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.

• Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity correctly. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY cycles.

• These materials can cause static buildup. Try using a fabric softener.

• Check the connection of power cord to the terminal block. Refer to 23-27 pages on this manual.

• Dryer controls are not set properly.

• Lint filter needs to be cleaned.

• Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.

• Dryer is underloaded.

• Clothes dried too long (overdried).

• Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.

• Garment care instructions are not being followed.

• Water supply error.

• This is normal.

POWER button was activated

Solutions

• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filter.

• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry.

• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture.

To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.

• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.

• Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.

• Confirm that the exhaust ductwork is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.


• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.

• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action.

• Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.

• Remove items from the dryer immediately at the end of the cycle. Use the

WRINKLE CARE option to continue tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for up to 3 hours.

• To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care instructions for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting.

• Check steam feeder drawer:

(1) Make sure steam feeder is filled with water to MAX line.

(2) Make sure steam feeder is seated properly and drawer is fully closed.

(3) Turn the dryer off then restart the Steam cycle.

• Do not use distilled water; the water level sensor in steam generator will not work.

• Pump not working. Unplug dryer and call for service.

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

• Press start to begin a dry cycle and the display will disappear.
