What are Sensor Dry and Time Dry?
Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.
Sensor Dry : Dryer senses electronically laundry humidity and it automatically determines operation time
based on the dryness of the load and the selected program. At times, you can see sudden increase or
decrease on operation time. It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity with a certain period.
Sudden change on operation time is not a malfunction.
Time Dry : Time Dry is that you can set operation time manually to complete drying. Or use Time Dry to have
drying performance if clothes are still damp after sensor dry cycle is finished. Time Dry is more effective for
heavyweight and bulky items such as king-size bed sheets and thick work clothes.

current) circuit protected by a 15 Ampere fuse,
equivalent fusetron or circuit breaker.
c) Use separately fused circuits for washers and
dryers, and DO NOT operate a washer and a
dryer on the same circuit.
a) The dryer has a three-prong plug to help guard
against shock. The plug should be plugged
directed into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle that is rated 120 Volts AC (alternating
current) 15 Amps. This plug, in order to be
properly and fully effective, must be plugged into
a properly installed outlet that is grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
b) The dryer must be grounded in order to reduce
the risk of electric shock, including a
malfunction or breakdown.
c) If your laundry room does not meet the
specifications required by this manual, or if you
are uncertain whether or not your laundry room
meets these specifications, please have a
qualified service person or company, for example
a qualified electrician or your local electric
company, review your laundry room’s electrical
supply for any problems.
WARNING!
Do not overload the circuit by operating
other appliances on the same circuit when
this appliance is operating, by using an
extension cord to connect the dryer to the
power source, or by using any adapter to
allow additional cords to connect to the
same outlet.

Part 7 GAS REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS
Following are important instructions and information concerning the requirements for the gas supply and service for
gas dryers. Important Warning: The gas supply and service for a gas dryer must comply with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of any local codes or ordinances in your area, the gas supply and service for your gas
dryer must comply with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
1. Gas supply requirements: Liquefied Petroleum
(L.P.) Gas (2,500 Btu/ft3 (93.1 MJ/m3)) service
must be provided at 10 + 1.5 in. water column
pressure.
2. Do not attempt to connect Dryer to Liquified
Petroleum (LP Gas) Gas service without a
qualified professional.
3. Isolate the dryer from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve, during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at test pressure equal to or less
than 2/1 psi (3.45 kPa).
4. 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 feet
(1.8m) of the dryer, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. A 1/8 in.
N.P.T. pipe plug must be installed as shown.
5. If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2
inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and
ordinances and when acceptable to your gas
supplier, 3/8 inch approved tubing may be used
where lengths are less than 20 feet (6.1m).
Larger tubing should be used for lengths in
excess of 20 feet (6.1m). It is also important that
you use pipe joint compound that is insoluble in
LP gas.
6. To reduce the danger of gas leaks, explosion, and
fire, please follow and observe the following
instructions and WARNINGS:
• Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the
nameplate;
• Use new flexible stainless steel connectors;
• Use Teflon tape and pipe joint compound
insoluble in LP gas on all pipe threads;
• Purge gas supply of air and sediment before
connecting the gas supply to the dryer; in order to
prevent gas valve contamination, before tightening
connection between gas supply and dryer, purge
remaining air until odor of gas is identified; and
• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas
leaks; instead, use a non-corrosive leak detection
fluid.
WARNING!
• Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas
supply line.
• Install a shut-off valve.
• Securely tighten all gas connections.
• If connected to LP, have a qualified person
make sure gas pressure does not exceed
13 in. water column.
• Examples of a qualified person include
licensed heating personnel, authorized gas
company personnel, and authorized service
personnel.
• Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the
dryer, any disassembly requires the

Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer.
Warning: DO NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling,
crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the
dryer with plastic or thin foil Ducting. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryer and
you should obtain the necessary venting materials
locally. For example, the outer end of exhaust pipe
must have a weather hood with hinged dampers to
prevent back-draft when the dryer is not in use.
2. Use only 4-in. (10 cm) rigid or fl exible metal
ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and for venting
outside. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fi re or death.
3. 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 fi re or death.
4. Rigid or semirigid 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.
5. 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. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fi re or death.
6. To maximize operating results, please observe the
duct length limitations noted in the chart above.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fi re
or death.
