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

heavy
and
bulky
items and thick work.

must be
equipped
with a
cord
having
an
equipment-grounding
conductor and a
grounding plug.
The
plug
must be
plugged
into an
appropriate
outlet that is
properly
installed and
grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING
-
Improper
connection of the
equipment-
grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock.
Check
with a
qualified
electrician or service
person
if
you
are in doubt as to whether the
appliance
is
properly

Following
are several
warnings
and instructions
concerning making
the electrical connection for electric
dryers.
More detailed information
concerning
the
electrical connection is
provided
in the manual section
entitled Electrical
Requirements
for Electric
Dryer.
It is
important
that
you thoroughly
review that section
and the remainder of this
manual,
before
taking any
steps
to install or use this
dryer.
1. Use
only
a new
UL
listed
No. 10
(copper
wire
only)
three conductor
power supply
cord kit rated
240
Volts
(minimum)
30
Amperes
and labeled as suitable
for use in a clothes
dryer.
2.
A four-wire cord is
required
for manufactured

WARNING!
?
Use a new UL listed 30
amp power supply
cord.
?
Use a UL
approved
strain relief.
?
Disconnect
power
before
making
electrical
connections.
?
Connect neutral wire
(white
or center
wire)
to
center terminal.
?
Ground wire
(green
or bare
wire)
must be
connected to
green ground
connector.
?
Securely tighten
all electrical connections
?
See installation instructions for
complete
instructions.

Failure to do so can result
in
fire or electrical
shock.

STEP 4
Connection of Gas
Supply
Make sure the burner orifice is
proper
for the
type
of
gas you
have.
For
instance, using
LPG
with
LNG orifice
will
result
in
death,
fire or
explosion.
Or
using
LNG
with
LPG
nozzle
will
not allow the burner to
ignite.
If
needed,
orifice conversion should be done
by
a
qualified
service technician and mark or
put
the
label of the current
type
of orifice on the
dryer.
If
changing
the
orifice,
also
adjust
the
gas
valve.
Note
Burner
input requirements
If
your
house is located at the elevations
up
to
10,000
feet.
Adjusting
burner
input setting
is not needed at this
elevation because AGA certifies this
dryer
will
not have
any problem
with
the BTU
rating
at this altitude.
If
your
house is above
10,000 feet,
you
are
required
to
adjust
a four
percent (4%)
reduction of the burner BTU
rating
indicated on the model/serial
rating plate.

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
been
operating
for three
minutes.

Part 3 INITIAL STEPS FOR INSTALLING YOUR
DRYER
The
following
instructions are
applicable
to
installations of the
dryer
in a manufactured or
mobile
home.
Any
installation in a manufactured or
mobile home must
comply
with the Manufactured
Home
Construction
and
Safety
Standards
Title 24
CFR,
Part
32-80
or
Standard
CAN/CSA0Z240
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.
The
following
instructions
apply
to
any
installation
of the
dryer
in a manufactured or mobile
home:
1)
The electrical connection for an electric
dryer
must be a 4-wire
connection.
More detailed
information
concerning
the electrical connection
is
provided
at the manual section entitled
Electrical
Requirements
for Electric
Dryer
2)
To reduce the risk of combustion and
fire,
the
dryer
must be vented to the
outside.
3)
Electric
dryers may
be vented to the outside
using
the
back, left,
right,
or bottom
panel.
4)
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.
5)
The
dryer
exhaust duct must be affixed
securely
to the manufactured or mobile home
structure,
the exhaust duct must be made of a material that
will resist fire and
combustion,
and it is
recommended that
you
use a
rigid
or flexible
metal
pipe.
6)
DO NOT
connect the exhaust duct with
any
other
duct, vent,
chimney,
or other exhaust
duct.
7)
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
).
8)
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 at the sides and back of the
dryer.
9)
Please be aware that
venting
materials are not
supplied
with the
dryer.
You should obtain the
venting
materials
necessary
for
proper
installation.
WARNING!
DO NOT connect exhaust ducts
with
metal screws or fasteners that extend
into the duct.
!
WARNING!
DO NOT vent the exhaust duct under the
manufactured or mobile home.
