It is your responsibility
• To contact a qualified electrical installer.
•

To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in
conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSl/NFPA
70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire supply
connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved
in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt,
60 Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt
electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a
separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect
to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit.

•

Do not use an extension cord.

•

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.

Electrical

Connection

To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
•

If your outlet looks like this:

If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral
ground wire to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire
connection" in the "Electrical Connection" section.
This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire
electrical supply connection. The neutral ground wire is
permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire)
within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical
supply connection, the neutral ground wire must be removed
from the external ground conductor screw (green screw), and
secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of
the terminal block. When the neutral ground wire is secured
under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the
terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral
conductor.
A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the
appliance is installed in a location where grounding through
the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the
neutral 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
conductors.

If using a power

supply cord:

Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
•

A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated
120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD or
SRDT and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that
connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade
terminals with upturned ends.

•

A UL listed strain relief.

4-wire receptacle (!4-30R)
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade
terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply
cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge copper
wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The
ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or bare. The
neutral conductor must be identified by a white cover.
If your outlet looks like this:

3-wire

receptacle

(10-30R)

Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade
terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 3-wire power supply
cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have three 10-gauge copper
wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.
If connecting

by direct wire:

Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire)
and be:
•

Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable
(with ground wire), protected with flexible metallic conduit. All
current-carrying wires must be insulated.

•

10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum).

•

At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.

GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

• For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This dryer uses 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.
• For a permanently connected dryer:
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.

WARNING:

improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power
supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

Now Auto Dry works
SmartHeat TM improves drying performance with Auto Moisture
Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is extracted
from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature sensor) and
moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help measure the
amount of moisture in the clothes as they tumble. An electronic
control determines the load type to help save time, avoid
overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the end dryness level.
After the first 5 minutes of an automatic cycle, the estimated time
display will adjust based on the approximate load size, cycle,
dryness level selected and amount of moisture left in the clothes.
When the clothes have reached approximately 80% of the
dryness level selected, the estimated time display will adjust
again, showing the final drying time. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus
takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care.

Drying tips
•
Follow care label directions when they are available.

•

If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.

•

To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon
as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits and synthetic fabrics.

Timed Cycle
The Timed Cycle light glows green during a Timed Cycle.

Auto Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are
drying. See the following Auto Dry Preset Cycle Settings chart.
Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended
temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and
automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.
Normal

Wet
The Wet light glows green at the beginning of Auto Dry if a wet
item is detected or in a timed cycle after 5 minutes.
•

In an Auto Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after 5 minutes,
the dryer will run for a preset minimum run time (based on the
selected cycle and dryness level setting) and then go into
Cool Down. The Cool Down and WRINKLE GUARD _
indicators will glow green, if selected.

•

In a Timed Cycle, the Wet light will glow green after 5 minutes
and remain on until the dryer enters Cool Down.

•

In a Steam Cycle, the Wet status light will glow green when
the water is being dispensed on the load.

Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such
as work clothes and sheets.
Bulky/Bedding
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying large items that
require long drying times, such as jackets, comforters and
pillows. Rearrange the load when the Damp Dry Signal sounds.
This will aid in the drying process. The Damp Dry Signal is preset
to ON. See "Options."
Jeans
Use this cycle to get medium high heat for drying denims.

Damp
The Damp light glows green in an Auto Cycle when the laundry is
approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove
lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove
partially dry items that may need ironing. To be alerted when the
load is about 80% dry, you may use the damp dry signal option.
See Damp Dry Signal in "Options." The Damp light glows green
in a Steam Cycle after water is dispensed on the load.

Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get high heat for heavyweight
cotton towels or bedspreads.

Cool Down

Ultra

The Cool Down light glows green during the cool down part of
the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling.

Use this cycle to get extra-low heat to gently dry items such as
lingerie, blouses or washable knit fabrics.

Use SteamCare Cycles to help smooth out wrinkles from dry
items, such as clothes that have been worn or clothes that have
been left in the dryer too long. When the SteamCare Cycle is
selected, the estimated time remaining display shows the actual
time remaining in the cycle.
NOTE: Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton
garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than
those without.
Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with
steam cycles as it may cause temporary staining on the
clothes.

NOTE: The Touch Up cycle has a minimum dry time of
15 minutes and a maximum dry time of 40 minutes. Only the
Medium, Medium High, and High temperature settings can
be used for the Touch Up cycle.

cycle by pressing More Time or Less Time. See "Changing
Cycles, Options and Modifiers."
Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an
Auto Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight and
bulky items, such as bedspreads and work clothes. Lightweight
garments, such as exercise wear, can be dried using Timed Dry
on a low temperature setting.
Use Timed Dry/Air Dry cycles for items that require drying without
heat such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This table
shows examples of items that can be dried using Timed Dry/Air
Dry cycles.

Refresh with SteamCam
This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors
from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free
cotton, cotton-polyester
blend, common knits and synthetic
garments. In this cycle a small amount of water is sprayed into
the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The
dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool
down. The heat level and cycle time are not adjustable.
Touch Up with SteamCare
This cycle is best for touching up clothes that have been left in
the dryer too long. In this cycle, a small amount of water is
sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling
with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by
a brief cool down. The dry time and temperature can be adjusted
for this cycle.
NOTE: Overloading the dryer may not yield the same results.

The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the first cycle.
Is water connected to the dryer?
Check that water inlet hose is connected to both the faucet
and dryer's water inlet valve. Check that the water supply is
turned on.
To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select Steam
Refresh for small loads of 1-4 garments. This cycle is best for
reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinklefree cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits and
synthetics.
