What are Sensor Dry and Time Dry?
Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.
Sensor Dry
The dryer senses the dampness of the laundry and automatically determines the heat level and operation time. You might
see a sudden increase or decrease in operation time if the sensor determines more or less drying is required. This is not a
malfunction.
Time Dry
Use TIME DRY to select heat level and drying time manually. This can be used if clothes are not as dry as you like them
at the end of the cycle. Use TIME DRY for heavy and bulky items and thick work.

Part 3 INITIAL STEPS FOR INSTALLING YOUR DRYER
Prior to the first use of this appliance, use all-
purpose cleaning products or a solution of detergent
and water, with damp cloth to remove from the
inside of the dryer drum/drying compartment any
dust or dirt that may have accumulated inside the
dryer. Plug-in your dryer after reviewing the
following parts on your dryer’s Electrical
Requirements.
Effective dryer operation requires appropriate dryer
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 5/8 inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be
checked while the dryer is running with no load.
Confirming Heat Source in Gas Dryers
Close the door to the dryer drum/drying
compartment and, after completing all steps in this
manual for proper installation of this dryer, start the
dryer on a heat setting. After the dryer starts, the
igniter will glow red and the main burner will
ignite.
Warning: If all air is not purged from the gas line,
the gas igniter may go off before the gas and the
main burner have ignited. If this happens, the
igniter will re-attempt gas ignition after
approximately two minutes.
Confirming Heat Source in Electric Dryers
Close the door to the dryer drum/drying
compartment and, after completing all steps in this
manual for proper installation of this dryer, start the
dryer on a heat setting. The exhaust air or the
exhaust pipe should be warm after the dryer has

Part 5 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRIC DRYERS
The following are additional instructions regarding electrical connections and requirements for electric dryers.
Important Warning: To help prevent fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, the wiring and grounding
must conform to the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and all applicable local
regulations. Please contact a qualified electrician to check your home’s wiring and fuses to ensure that your home
has adequate electrical power to operate the dryer.
120V/ 240V, 60 Hertz, 3-Wire Installation
!
Instructions for Grounding of your Electric
Dryer:
a) This dryer must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
dryer.
b) The dryer has its own terminal block that must
be connected to a separate 60 Hertz single
phase AC circuit, fused at 30 Amperes (the
circuit must be fused on both sides of the line).
ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE DRYER
SHOULD BE OF MAXIMUM RATE
VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE.
DO NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110, 115,
OR 120 VOLT CIRCUIT. Heating elements are
available for field installation in dryers which
are to be connected to electrical service of
different voltage than that listed on nameplate.
c) If branch circuit to dryer is fifteen feet (4.50 m)
or less in length, use U.L. (Underwriters
Laboratories) listed No. 10 A.W.G. wire (copper
wire only), or as required by local codes. If over
fifteen feet (4.50 m), use U.L. (Underwriters
Laboratories) listed No. 8 A.W.G. wire (copper
wire only), or as required by local codes. Allow
sufficient slack in wiring so dryer can be moved
from its normal location when necessary.
d) The power cord (pigtail) connection between
wall receptacle and dryer terminal block IS NOT
supplied with dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of
wire must conform to local codes and with
instructions mentioned on the following pages.
e) The method of wiring the dryer is optional and
subject to local code requirements. Refer to
examples on next page.
f) You must select the method by which to wire
your dryer according to local code and ordinance
requirements. Sample methods are included in

Part 5 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRIC DRYERS
Use the instructions in this section if your home has
a 3-wire receptacle (NEMA type 10-30R) and you
will be using a UL listed, 120/240 volt minimum,
30 amp, dryer power supply cord.
Review the following options to determine the appropriate electrical connection
for your home:
If this type is available at your home. you will be
connecting to a fused disconnect or circuit breaker
box.
Important : Grounding through the neutral conductor
is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations,
(2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4)
areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the
neutral conductor.
Prepare minimum 5 ft (1.52 m) of length in order for
dryer to be replaced.
First, peel 5 inches (12.7 cm) of covering material from
end. Strip 5 inches of ground wire insulation. After
cutting 11/2inch (3.8 cm) from 3 other wires peel
insulation back 1 inch (2.5 cm). Make ends of 3 wires a
hook shape.
Then, put the hooked shape end of the wire under the
screw of the terminal block (hooked end facing to the
right) and pinch the hook together and screw tightly.
Use the instructions in this section if your home has
a 4-wire receptacle (NEMA type 14-30R) and you
will be using a UL listed, 120/240 volt minimum,
30 amp, dryer power supply cord.
If this type is available at your home. you will be
connecting to a fused disconnect or circuit breaker
box.
1. Connect neutral wire (white) of power cord to center
terminal block screw.
2. Connect red and black wires to the left and right
terminal block screws.
3. Connect ground wire (green) of power cord to external
ground screw and move neutral ground wire of
appliance and connect it to center screw.
4. Make sure that the strain relief screw is tightened.
Be sure that all terminal block nuts are on tight and
power cord is in right position.
