4_ Safety instructions
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They
emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a
cleaning solvent or flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all
traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured
alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentine, waxes, and wax removers
• Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-
like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can,
under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.
Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying
compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.
Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the user-repair instructions and you understand and have the skills to
carry those out.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended for dryer
use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and
dirt.

BED70W-02486B_EN.indd 4 2008-01-09 ¿ÀÈÄ 6:53:07

Safety instructions _5
Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.
Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.
Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or
cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these
oils.
The residual oil can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous combustion
increases when the items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat
sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the
oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot
enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from
escaping and can create a fire hazard.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be
dangerous. Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their
temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle until
the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they
are hot.

DUCTING REQUIREMENTS
• Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.
• Do not use a smaller duct.
• Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased lint accumulation.
Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.
• If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct
with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.
• Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.
• Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.
• Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.
• DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE, OR CONCEALED SPACE OF
A BUILDING, GAS VENT, OR ANY OTHER COMMON DUCT OR CHIMNEY.
THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.
• Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect dryer
operation.
• Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and
may collect lint.
• The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and
entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.
• The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and
the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.
• Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.
• To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house
or porch.
• If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly
down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.
• Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before
cleaning.
• Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
• Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then
check ducting for obstructions.

If the new Dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make
sure:
• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.
• That a flexible plastic duct is not used.
• To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.
• The duct is not kinked or crushed.
• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be
less than 0.
This can be measured while the Dryer is running with a manometer at the point where the
exhaust duct connects to the Dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The Dryer tumbler should
be empty and the lint filter clean.
IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept

Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.
1. Let your Dryer exhaust the air easily.
2. Use a 4” diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including
at the dryer.
Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. Keep ducts as straight as possible.
4. Clean all old ducts before installing your new Dryer.
Be sure that the vent flap opens and closes freely.
Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.
Don’t let a poor exhaust system slow drying by:
1. Restricting your Dryer with a poor exhaust system.
2. Using a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.
3. Using unnecessarily long duct runs with many
elbows.
4. Allowing crushed or clogged ducts and vent.

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTROL PANEL
Digital Graphic
Display
The display window shows the estimated time remaining in the cycle after the
Start/Pause button is pressed. The estimated time remaining may fluctuate as
the cycle progresses.
The Drying light will illuminate and remain lit until the cycle is complete.
When your Dryer is in the cool-down phase, the Cooling light will illuminate.
When your Dryer is in the wrinkle prevent phase, the Wrinkle Prevent light will
illuminate.
When the cycle is complete, “END” will appear in the display panel until the
Dryer door is opened or Power key is pushed.
If your Dryer is paused during a cycle, the indicator lights will blink until the
Start/Pause button is pressed.
Dry Level
Selection Button
To select the dry level in the Normal, Heavy Duty, or other Sensor Dry cycles,
press the Dry Level button. An indicator light will illuminate next to the desired
dryness level.
Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the settings. Larger or bulkier
loads may require the More Dry setting for complete dryness.
The Less Dry setting is best suited for lightweight fabrics or for leaving some
moisture in the clothing at the end of the cycle.
Use for items that lay flat or hang to dry.
Temp Selection
Button
To select the correct temperature for the load, press the Temp button.
An indicator light will illuminate next to the desired temperature. Press the
button repeatedly to scroll through the settings.
High – For sturdy cottons or those labeled Tumble Dry.
Medium – For permanent press, synthetics, lightweight cottons, or items
labeled Tumble Dry Medium.
Low – For heat sensitive items labeled Tumble Dry Low or Tumble Dry Warm.
Extra Low – Provides the lowest heated dry temperature possible.
Time Selection
Button
When using Manual Dry cycles, time can be adjusted by pressing the time
selection button.
During the Sensory Dry cycle, the time light indicator is off because exact
drying times are determined by fluctuating humidity levels.

Operating Instructions, Tips _19
Signal Selection
Button
When the cycle is complete, a chime will sound.
When the Wrinkle Prevent option is selected, the chime will sound
intermittently.
Adjust the volume of the chime or turn it off by pressing the Signal button.
Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the choices.
Wrinkle Prevent
Selection Button
Wrinkle Prevent provides approximately 90 minutes of intermittent tumbling
in unheated air at the end of the cycle to reduce wrinkling. Press the Wrinkle
Prevent button to activate this feature.
The indicator light above the pad will illuminate when Wrinkle Prevent is
selected.
The load is dry, and can be removed at any time during the Wrinkle Prevent
cycle.
Adjust Time
Time can be added or subtracted from the automatically set times in the
Manual Dry cycles (Time Dry, Delicates, Wrinkle Release, or Air Fluff cycles).
To add or subtract time from the cycle, press the Adjust Time arrow pad up
or down until the desired time is displayed.
Cycle Selector
To select a cycle, rotate the Cycle Selector dial to the desired cycle.
The indicator light by the cycle name will illuminate. The Normal, Heavy Duty,
Towels, Perm Press and Delicates cycles are Sensor Dry cycles.
Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer
off when the selected dryness level (very dry to damp dry) is reached.
Normal – Use this cycle to dry loads such as cotton, underwear, and linen.
Heavy Duty – Use this cycle to get high heat for heavy fabrics such as jeans,
corduroys, or work clothes.
Perm Press – Dry wrinkle-free cottons, synthetic fabrics, knits, and
permanent press fabrics automatically. The cycle minimizes wrinkling by
providing a longer unheated cool-down period at the end of the cycle.
Delicates – The Delicates cycle is designed to dry heat-sensitive items at a
low drying temperature.
Time Dry – Time Dry allows you to select the desired cycle time in minutes.
Turn the Cycle Selector dial to Time Dry, then press the Adjust Time up arrow
to set the drying time.
Press the arrow repeatedly to scroll through the time settings.
Wrinkle Release – The Wrinkle Release cycle will release wrinkles from items
that are clean, dry, and only slightly wrinkled, such as clothes from a crowded
closet, suitcase or items that have been in the dryer too long after the cycle
has ended. Wrinkle Release can be used with any temperature selection.
Air Fluff – The Air Fluff cycle tumbles the load in room temperature air.
Start/Pause
selection button Press to pause and restart programs.
Power button
Press once to turn your Dryer on, press again to turn it off. If your dryer is left
