WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious in-
jury or death to persons when using your dryer, fol-
low these basic precautions:
W130
• Read all instructions before using the dryer.
• Install this dryer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the
INSTALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connec-
tion of the dryer. All connections for electrical power, earth/
ground and gas supply must comply with local codes and
be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it
yourself.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to
water and/or weather.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline or machine
oils, vegetable or cooking oils, cleaning waxes or chemi-
cals, dry-cleaning solvents, thinner, anything containing
chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, or other
flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite, explode or cause fabric to catch on fire by
itself.
• 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.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cook-
ing oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers, should be washed in
hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being
dried in the tumble dryer.
• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles
containing foam or latex rubber or similarly textured rubber-
like materials, such as shower caps, water proof textiles,
rubber-backed articles, and clothes or pillows filled with
foam rubber pads.
• Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and draperies unless the
label says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the cyl-
inder with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiberglass.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close super-
vision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near
children. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or men-
tal capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, un-
less they have been given supervision or instruction con-
cerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by chil-
dren without supervision.
• Children less than three years should be kept away unless
continuously supervised.
• Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.
• Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.
ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the
garment manufacturer and only use the dryer drum to dry
textiles that have been washed in water.

• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on
packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings
or precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical
burns, keep them out of reach of children at all times (pref-
erably in a locked cabinet).
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
• Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.
• DO NOT operate the dryer if it is smoking, grinding or has
missing or broken parts or removed guards and/or panels.
DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devi-
ces.
• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separat-
ed from a stack unit.
• Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT
bypass the door safety switch by permitting the dryer to op-
erate with the door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when
the door is opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop
tumbling when the door is opened or starts tumbling with-
out pressing the START mechanism. Remove the dryer from
use and call the service person.
• ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in
the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying
time. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust
and dirt. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct
should be cleaned periodically by qualified service person-
nel.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt
any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-
maintenance instructions or in published user-repair in-
structions that you understand and have the skills to carry
out. ALWAYS disconnect the electrical power to the dryer
before attempting service. Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug, not the cord.
• Electric Models: If supply cord is damaged, it must be re-
placed by a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
• Gas Models: If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, re-
move the door to the drying compartment.
• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine
according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in
conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property
damage.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-
STRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant
to cover all possible conditions and situations that may
occur. Observe and be aware of other labels and pre-
cautions that are located on the machine. They are in-
tended to provide instruction for safe use of the ma-
chine. Common sense, caution and care must be exer-
cised when installing, maintaining, or operating the
dryer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the
manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not un-
derstand.

Before Drying
Energy Saving Tips
• Make sure the lint filter is always clean.
• Do not overload the dryer.
• Do not overdry items.
• Remove items to be ironed while still damp.
• Large loads of similar fabrics dry the most efficiently. How-
ever, dry permanent press in smaller loads to prevent wrin-
kling.
• Use the correct cycle for the type of fabric being dried.
• Locate your dryer so the exhaust duct is as short and
straight as possible.
• Do not open the door during the drying cycle.
• Plan to do your laundry on low humidity days; your clothes
will dry faster.
• Dry multiple loads of clothes one right after another so dry-
er interior does not have to be reheated for each load.
Helps and Hints
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, serious injury or
death, clothes which have traces of any flammable
substances such as cooking oil, machine oil, flam-
mable chemicals, thinner, etc. must not be put into
the dryer.
W131
• The directions for installation and proper exhausting are
given in the Installation Instructions which are included
with the dryer.
• Static electricity may cause garments of synthetic fibers (as
in lingerie) to cling together, especially if they are overdried.
The use of a liquid fabric softener in the rinse water of the
washer, or a fabric softener sheet in the dryer, will soften
clothes and reduce static electricity.
• Do not wash or dry clothes that shed lint in the same load
with permanent press or knit garments.
• Remove permanent press loads immediately after dryer
stops.
• Follow the care labels on FLAME RETARDANT, SCOTCH-
GUARD™, etc., garments for proper washing and drying.
• If loads should be damp for ironing, use the Damp Dryness
setting, in an Automatic cycle.
Sort
If you have correctly sorted the items for washing, they should
be properly sorted for drying too.
1. Sort by color.
2. Separate lint shedding fabrics and lint receiving fabrics.
Towels, flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs, etc., shed lint. Cor-
duroys, knits (including socks), permanent press, and syn-
thetics attract lint.
3. Separate no heat, low heat and high heat items.
In any kind of drying, lightweight fabrics will dry faster than
heavyweight fabrics. If mixed loads are dried together (such as
sheets and towels), remove the lighter weight fabrics when
they are dry to prevent overdrying and wrinkling. The best
method is to dry clothes which require the same time, temper-
ature or dryness level in the same load.
Load
WARNING
Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or
cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing
and may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.
W527
• Do not overload your dryer. Bulk, not weight, determines
the load size. If the dryer is overloaded, it could cause dis-
coloration or permanent heat damage to the load.
• There should be space in the dryer for the clothes to tum-
ble freely and help to reduce wrinkles.
• Large and small pieces together make up loads which will
tumble well. Permanent press loads should be smaller to
provide room for tumbling. Proper tumbling allows for fewer
wrinkles.
• A load can be too small. Just a few small pieces will not
tumble properly. They will take longer to dry and they may
be wrinkled. For small loads, add a couple of large towels
or non lint shedding items to aid in tumbling.
• The following illustrations show the ideal load sizes for fab-
rics. The average load will fill the cylinder one third to half
full when wet.

section before operating the dryer.
W520
Cycle Selection
The following cycle descriptions will help determine which cy-
cle to choose depending on the type of laundry being dried.
NOTE: Always check fabric care label for proper care
instructions.
Auto-Sensing
The Auto-Sensing drying cycle operation is determined by the
type of cycle selected as well as the moisture sensing system,
which can be set by changing the Dryness setting. Auto-Sens-
ing cycles are Energy Saver cycles that help prevent over-dry-
ing.
When a wet load is put into the dryer it takes a certain amount
of time to reach the desired dryness level. The time will vary
with load size, type of fabric, amount of moisture in the load,
air flow and the laundry room environment. The estimated
time will be shown in the digital display.
NOTE: The time shown before starting the cycle is esti-
mated by averaging the last 5 cycles run on the select-
ed cycle/dryness combination.
Use Heavy Duty for heavy items such as blankets.
Use Regular for sturdy items like play or work clothes.
Use Perm Press for permanent press items and synthetics.
Use Delicate to dry delicate items.
NOTE: This is an ENERGY STAR ® certified dryer. To
use the energy saving setting, select the Auto-Sensing
Regular cycle, set the Dryness Selection to Near Dry,
and turn on EcoDry.
NOTE: Use the Time Dry Cycle for No Heat tumble. Us-
ing Automatic cycles with No Heat will result in very
short cycle times. Automatic cycles are designed to
dry loads using heat to the dryness level selected.
Pet Plus™
The Pet Hair Remover cycle is used to remove pet hair from dry
items. It is a set 10-minute cycle and can be used as a stand-
alone refresh, or as pre-wash cycle before putting items in the
washer. Anti-Static is on by default and can be turned off.
NOTE: Clean lint filter before each use. Excessive hair
build-up may impact results. A second Pet Hair Remov-
er cycle may be necessary if there is a large amount of
hair in the lint filter.
The Pet Items cycle dries and refreshes bulky pet items. The
default cycle is a 55-minute, high-temperature heat cycle with
Anti-Static and Steam Boost on. This cycle can be fully custom-
ized to the pet item being dried. Temperature, Time, and Op-
tions can be adjusted as needed. You can save these cycles
using the Favorites option to quickly use again.
NOTE: Clean out dryer cylinder after using Pet Plus cy-
cles. Pet items may cause stains or odors on subse-
quent loads.
WARNING
This cycle is only intended for laundry items such as
clothing, bedding, and pet items. It is not intended
for pets or people.

Manual
There are two manual cycles: Time Dry and Quick Dry. These
cycles will run for the set number of minutes shown on the dig-
ital display. The cycle time can be increased or decreased us-
ing the up and down arrow keypads. Select the temperature
based on the fabric care label. The time and temperature se-
lection may be adjusted manually at any time before or during
the cycle. The time may need to be adjusted up if the items
are still damp or down if the items are overdry.
Steam
The Steam Sanitize cycle sanitizes your laundry by killing
99.9% of common household bacteria*. It is a 75-minute cycle
that applies high-temperature heat to sanitize the load, as well
as steam to help keep your laundry soft and wrinkle free. It is
recommended for medium size loads and is not recommend-
ed for all fabric types. Be sure to follow fabric care labels.
To use Steam Sanitize, press the Steam Sanitize keypad and
allow the cycle to complete uninterrupted. Time can be extend-
ed higher than 75 minutes by using the up and down arrow
keypads.
NOTE: The Sanitize setting uses high heat. Check the
fabric label for proper care instructions.
The Steam Refresh cycle releases wrinkles and refreshes your
items. It is recommended for 1-4 items. There are two preset
cycles. The default cycle applies a medium-temperature heat
for 30 minutes to the load. The alternate cycle applies a high-
temperature heat for 20 minutes.
To use Steam Refresh, press the Steam Refresh keypad and
the default cycle for 30 minutes at medium heat will be initiat-
ed. To initiate the 20-minute, high-heat cycle, toggle the Temp
selection to High. Select the 30-minute medium heat or 20-mi-
nute high heat temperature based on fabric type.
*Bacteria tested by an independent lab were Staphylococcus
aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae. In-
dividual results may vary.
IMPORTANT: Do not use dryer sheets when using
steam cycles.
IMPORTANT: Do not run steam with no load to help
prevent water from staining the cylinder.
NOTE: Do not overload machine for steam cycles.
Overloading during a steam cycle may cause the load
to have wet spots at the end of the cycle.
NOTE: Using steam on overly damp items may result in
load not completely drying.
Selections
The following selections can be used to modify the currently
chosen cycle. The default selections will be lit after choosing a
cycle.
Temp
Press the Temp keypad to change the cycle's temperature on
Manual Cycles, Pet Items, and Steam Refresh. Choose from
No Heat, Low, Medium, or High depending on fabric type.
NOTE: The No Heat cycle will take longer to dry items.
Dryness
Press the Dryness keypad to change the dryness level in an
Auto-Sensing cycle. Choose from Damp, Less Dry, Near Dry or
Dry.
Use Damp to leave load slightly damp for easier ironing.
Use Less Dry for lightweight items such as sheets and shirts.
Use Near Dry for normal loads.
Use Dry for heavy items such as blue jeans and blankets.
Over-drying can cause wrinkling, shrinking, excessive lint con-
ditions, and will use more energy than necessary. To increase
energy savings and to make sure loads are dried without over-
drying, set your Auto-Sensing loads on Near Dry or Less Dry. If
items are damp or over-dry at the end of a cycle, increase or
decrease the Dryness setting the next time these loads are
dried. Remember the settings that work best to get ideal dry-
ing results. To finish drying damp items, use Quick Dry and ad-
just the time as needed.
Options
The following options can be used to modify the currently
chosen cycle, adjust the signal volume, and save favorite cy-
cles.
Extended Tumble
The Extended Tumble option prevents wrinkling by tumbling
the clothes load after the end of the cycle every two minutes
for up to 60 minutes. The display will show the time remaining.
The Extended Tumble LED light will be lit during the Extended
Tumble portion of a cycle. The option will end if the door is
opened.
Extended Tumble can be used along with the Steam Boost and
Anti-Static options. Steam Boost runs first, followed by Anti-
Static and then Extended Tumble.
NOTE: The Steam Boost option is not available with the
ENERGY STAR ® setting.
Steam Boost
Use to release wrinkles and soften fabrics. Available with Auto-
Sensing Heavy Duty, Regular, and Perm Press cycles as well as
Pet Items (Medium or High heat only). Dryness/Auto-Dryness
must be set to Near Dry or Dry. Cannot be used with EcoDry.

To Dry Clothes
This appliance shall not be used to dry off solvents or dry
cleaning fluids. Fabric softeners, or similar products, should
be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS before using dryer.
IMPORTANT: Before using dryer for the first time, use
an all-purpose cleaner or a detergent and water solu-
tion and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from in-
side of dryer drum.
NOTE: This appliance is designed for repeated normal
operation according to operating instructions.
1. Sort items into separate loads.
NOTE: Remove all objects from pockets such as
lighters and matches.
IMPORTANT: Oil affected items can ignite spontane-
ously, especially when exposed to heat sources
such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stack-
ing or storing oil affected items can prevent heat
from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

Care of Your Dryer
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an electric shock, serious injury
or death, disconnect the electrical service to the dry-
er before cleaning the interior.
W132
Dryer Interior
Wipe the surfaces using a soft cloth and household cleaner or
a non-abrasive paste of powdered laundry detergent and hot
water, followed by a short heat cycle with a load of rags.
To remove crayon or ball point ink off the dryer drum, put the
heat on high and use old rags in the dryer to absorb the crayon
or ink. If unsuccessful, contact the appliance dealer. DO NOT
use any chemicals in the dryer.
IMPORTANT: The use of chlorine bleach for removing
any discolorations should be avoided because bleach
could damage the finish.
Cabinet
Wipe the dryer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or oth-
er washing products have been spilled on the dryer, wipe im-
mediately. Some products will cause permanent damage if
spilled on the cabinet.
Control Panel
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel.
Some spray pretreat products may harm the finish on the con-
trol panel. DO NOT use products that contain alcohol on the
control panel.
Exhaust System
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the
electrical service to the dryer before cleaning.
W043
WARNING
Any disassembly requiring the use of tools must be
performed by a suitably qualified service person.
W299
The exhaust duct should be inspected after one year of use
and cleaned if necessary by a qualified service person to re-
move any lint build-up. Inspect and clean exhaust duct every
one to two years as required thereafter.
Every two years a qualified service person should remove all
front panels and vacuum the inside of the dryer
NOTE: This recommended maintenance is not covered
under the terms of the warranty.
The weather hood should be checked frequently to make sure
the dampers move freely, dampers are not pushed in and that
nothing has been set against them.
Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
NOTE: Verify proper operation after servicing.
Motor Overload Protector
The dryer’s motor overload protector stops the motor automati-
cally in the event of an overload. The control’s digital display
will show “Er”, “ro” alternately. After cooling, the overload pro-
tector will reset itself.
The control can be cleared by pressing START and the dryer
can be restarted by pressing START again. If overload protector
cycles again, remove the dryer from use and call the service
person to correct the problem.
Lint Filter
The lint filter is located at the front of the dryer in the lower
part of the door opening.
CLEAN THE LINT FILTER BEFORE DRYING EACH LOAD. (If using
optional lint filter guard, remove first).
Annually remove lint filter and screw to vacuum the duct under
it.

Troubleshooting
Try these troubleshooting tips before making a service call.
They may save you time and money.
Dryer Symptom Possible Cause/Solution
Dryer won’t start • Make sure the power cord is plugged all the way into the electrical
outlet.
• Make sure loading door is closed.
• Press Start/Pause button to start dryer.
• Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn’t blown or loose, or circuit
breakers aren’t open.
• The dryer itself does not have an electrical fuse. An electric dryer
has an electrical circuit with two fuses.
• Check if motor overload protector has cycled. Wait 10 minutes and
try again.
Dryer won’t heat • Electric dryers only – Some homes may have two fuses or circuit
breakers for an electric dryer; both fuses or circuit breakers should
be checked. Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn’t blown or
loose, or that the circuit breakers aren’t open.
• Make sure control is not in Cooling part of cycle, Extended LED is
lit, or that the Temp selection is not set to No Heat.
• Gas dryer only – Make sure equipment and main gas line valve is
turned on.
• Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or
needs cleaning.
• Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not
been pushed in or has not been blocked.
Dryer doesn’t dry clothes satisfactorily • Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or
needs cleaning.
• Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not
been pushed in or has not been blocked.
• Auto-Sensing cycle – Adjust Dryness selection.
• Manual cycles - Allow more or less time.
• Clean the lint filter.
• Make sure the load isn’t too small. Small loads may not tumble
properly or dry evenly.
• The Auto-Sensing cycles are not suggested to be used for small
loads such as two small towels. For those loads, use the Man-
ual cycles.
• Check load being dried. Heavy items dried with lightweight items
will not dry as quickly as the rest of the load.
• Refer to Sort section for proper sorting information.

Dryer Symptom Possible Cause/Solution
Dryer is noisy • Check dryer for foreign objects (nails, coins, bobby pins, metal,
plastic toys, etc.). Remove items from dryer.
• Make sure dryer is level. Uneven leveling can cause vibration.
• Normal operating sounds include the heat source going on and off
and the humming of air moving through the dryer and exhaust sys-
tem.
Clothes are too wrinkled • Check heat setting. Overdrying can cause wrinkling.
• Check load size. Large loads may not tumble properly and may
cause wrinkling.
• On Auto-Sensing cycles, try using Steam Boost to release wrinkles.
Clothes have odor • Check room for odors before drying clothes. Any odor (fried foods,
paint, varnish, cleaners, burning wood, etc.) will transfer to clothing
as the dryer draws air from the room.
• Ventilate room before drying clothes.
Cycle advances too slowly • When in an Auto-Sensing cycle, the time it takes depends on the
type and size of the load being dried. When clothing has more
moisture, the cycle takes longer than when the clothes are more
dry.
Er, ro on digital display • The dryer’s motor overload protector has cycled.
• The control can be cleared by pressing the Start/Pause button and
the dryer can be restarted by pressing the Start/Pause button
again.
• If this code is displayed again, remove the dryer from use and call
a service person.
Items still wrinkled after the steam cycle. • Do not overload the machine. Overloading the machine can cause
wrinkles to not be completely removed.
Items are damp or wet after steam cycle. • Do not overload the machine. Overloading during the steam cycle
can cause the load to have wet spots at the end of the cycle.
• Do not use overly damp items. This may result in the load not dry-
ing completely.
Small amount of water on door or in the drum. • When using the steam options, it is normal for condensation to oc-
cur.
Small amount of water on the floor in front of the dry-
er.
• Condensation may occur and drip from door when opened.
• Too small of a load may result in additional condensation on door.
Try adding more items to the load.
Small amount of water on the floor behind the dryer. • Check the hose connections and tighten them if needed.
• Check that the rubber washer is intact. If not, install the rubber
washer.
