WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion

• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
• There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.
• Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

CAUTION

• Do not sit on top of the dryer.
• Because of continuing product improvements, the manufacturer reserves the right of change specifications without notice. For complete details, see the Installation Instructions packed with your product before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning installation.
• Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.
  Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these oils.
• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat source such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur.
• Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire hazard.
  Take care that children's fingers are not caught in door when closing it. This may result in injury.
  Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.
  Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
  Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL approved gas detector.

Connect the hose's 90^ coupling to the brass water inlet on the back of the dryer and snug it by hand. Tighten each connection of the dryer inlet hose another 23 turn with pliers. Turn on the water and check for leaks at all connections.

Level the Dryer

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

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

Power On

Make sure all gas connections (Gas Models only), exhaust and electrical connections are complete. Plug in your dryer.

Final Check

• Make sure the dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and is properly grounded.
  The exhaust ductwork is hooked up and the joints are taped.
  A plastic flexible duct in NOT used.
• Use rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal vent material.
  The dryer is leveled and is sitting firmly on the floor.
  Gas models - the gas is turned on with no gas leakage.
• Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.

CAUTION

The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. In order to confirm the gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

Cleaning and Maintenance

CONTROL PANEL

• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.
• The control panel finish may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover products. Apply such products away from your dryer and wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.

STAINLESS STEEL OR ANODIZED DRUM

• To clean the stainless steel or anodized drum, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel and anodized surfaces.
• Remove the cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.

DRYER EXTERIOR

• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Protect the surface from sharp objects.
• Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the dryer. Keep them on the purchased pedestal or in a separate storage box. This may scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.
• Since the entire dryer has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.
• Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the dryer.

DRYER EXHAUST SYSTEM

• Should be inspected and cleaned yearly to maintain optimum performance.
• Disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer and from the exhaust hood (at the exhaust outlet) outside of the building.
• Check the interior of the duct and remove any lint accumulation.
• Be sure that lint is removed from the exhaust hood. Lint may collect in the exhaust hood and cause the flappers or louvers to stick open or closed.

After cleaning the exhaust hood, check that the flapper or louvers move freely.
- Reassemble the exhaust duct and hood, checking that the joints are secure and sealed.
- Operate the dryer and verify that the exhaust air is not obstructed in the vent and that there are no leaks in the system.
- The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Check These Solutions if Your Dryer

If your dryer has any of the following problems, you can check as the solutions listed below before making a service call. This will help you save time and money.

Problem	Solution
The unit doesn’t start.	Make sure the door is latched shut. Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet. Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses. Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the cycle.
The unit doesn’t heat.	Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses. Select a heat setting other than Air Dry and the Temp selection is not on “No Heat” On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on. Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct. Dryer may have moved into the cool-down process of the cycle.
Doesn’t dry.	Check all of the above, plus... Be sure the exhaust hood outside the home can open and close freely. Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually. Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct. Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dry load. Sort heavy items from lightweight items. Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even drying. Load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
The unit is noisy.	Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, broken zips, etc. Remove promptly. It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle. Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instruction. It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and exhaust system.
Clothes are unevenly dried.	Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected Dry Level. This is normal. Select the Extra Dry setting if desired. If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected Dry Level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
Shuts off before load is dry.	Dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart the cycle. Dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
The unit has a special odor.	Household odors from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from surrounding air space of the dryer locations. When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.
Odors remain in clothing after refresh	Fabrics containing strong odors should be washed utilizing desired wash cycle.
Garments still wrinkled after Wrinkle-prevent	Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best. Load fewer garments. Load similar-type garments.
Lint on clothes	Clean lint filter before every cycle. Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants). Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.

Error Codes

Error Code	Possible Cause	Solutions
C9	The PCB failed.	Call the service center for help. Do not use the dryer.
E4	The moisture sensor failed.	The unit will complete the current operating cycle but garments could be over dried. The unit can still operate under the Timed Cycles. Call the service center for help.
E5	The temperature sensor failed.	Call the service center for help. Do not use the dryer.
