WARNING

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

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 fi ne 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 fi re hazard.
  • Use only rigid metal or fl exible metal 4-in. diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork can cause a fi re. Punctured ductwork can cause a fi re 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 in. (10 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 fl exible 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 fi re or death.
  • DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the effi ciency 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 fi re or death.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

⚠ WARNING For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

CONNECTING GAS DRYERS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this

appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Gas supply requirements:
As shipped from the factory, this dryer is confi gured for use with natural gas. It can be converted for use with LP (Liquefi ed Propane) gas. Gas pressure must not exceed 13 in. water column.
- A qualifi ed service or gas company technician must connect the dryer to the gas service. Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.
- Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Supply line requirements: Your laundry room must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer. In the United States, an individual manual shutoff valve MUST be installed within at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian gas installation code CSA B149.1. A 1/8-in. NPT pipe plug must be installed. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
- If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2-in. IPS. If acceptable under local codes and ordinances and when acceptable to your gas supplier, 3/8-in. approved tubing may be used where lengths are less than 20 ft. (6.1 m). Larger tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20 ft. (6.1 m). Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

  • Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the nameplate. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
  • To prevent contamination of the gas valve, purge the gas supply of air and sediment before connecting the gas supply to the dryer.

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 Duct Condition Testing on the following page.

Testing Dryer Heating

GAS MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch 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 in. (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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FLOW CHECK (DUCT CONDITION TEST)

Your dryer features FlowSense ^™ , 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: 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.

To activate the flow check (Duct condition test):

NOTE: Dryer heating test must be performed before proceeding. Then perform the duct condition test below:

1 Press and hold the DAMP DRY BEEP and TEMP. CONTROL buttons at the same time. While holding these buttons, press POWER ON/OFF.

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 Possible Causes Solutions
Dryer will not turn onPower cord is not properly plugged in.House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.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.
Dryer does not heatHouse fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.Gas supply or service turned off (gas models only).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.
Greasy or dirty spots on clothesFabric softener used incorrectly.Clean and dirty clothes being dried together.Clean and dirty clothes being dried together.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 weren't removed during the washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned according to the instructions for your washer and detergent.
Display shows error code tE1 or tE2Thermistor is malfunctioning.Turn off the dryer and call for service.
Lint on clothesLint filter not cleaned properly.Laundry not sorted properly.Excess static in clothes.Dryer is overloaded.Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.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.
Excess static in clothes after dryingFabric softener not used or used incorrectly.Clothes dried too long (overdried).Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.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.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE (cont.)

Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Drying time is not consistentHeat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural, 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 fi liter.
Clothes take too long to dryLoad is not properly sorted.Large load of heavy fabrics.Dryer controls are not set properly.Lint fi liter needs to be cleaned.Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.Dryer is overloaded.Dryer is underloaded.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 fi liter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the fi liter during the cycle.Confi rm that the exhaust ductwork is properly confi gured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualifi ed electrician.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.
Clothes are wrinkledClothes dried too long (overdried).Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.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.
Clothes are shrinkingGarment care instructions are not being followed.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 and/or the RACK DRY option.
The display shows b1 9.MORE TIME button pressed.Pressing the MORE TIME button several times will set the cycle for a large load such as a comforter.
FLOW SENSE indicator light is on during the drying cycleDuctwork is too long or has too many turns/restrictions.Signifi cant blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup or debris.Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation Instructions.Ductwork should be checked/cleaned soon. Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying times may be longer.
