This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle

that is not grounded adequately or not in accordance with local and national codes. See

installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.

Do not sit on top of the dryer.

Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.

Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.

Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a Ubapproved 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.

Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. The potential for spontaneous combustion

increases when 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..

Installation

Z_ WARNING

For U.S. models: Risk o1:electrical shock

•All U.S.models are designed for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION. The dryer frame is

grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION

is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not

permit grounding through neutral. If you use the 4-wire system, you cannot ground the

dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.

•Remove the terminal block cover plate. Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief

through the hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal block.

•A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal

block. Be sure they are tight. Use a 3/8" (lcm) deep well socket.

9_ To ensure that the dryer provides

optimal dr?ing performance, it must

be level. To level the dryer, follow the

lettered steps below:

A. Using a leveller (A), check if the

dryer is level side to side and then

front to back.

13. If the dryer is not level, adjust the

leveling feet (B) on the bottom of the

dryer until the dryer is level side to

side and back to front.

Turning the feet clockwise retracts

the feet. Turning the feet clockwise

loosens and extends them.

24 English

NOTE

If you have a dryer and dryer:

• To set the dryer to the same height as

the washer, fully retract (A) the leveling

feet by turning them counterclockwise,

then loosen (B) the feet by turning

them clockwise. Once the dryer is the

same height as the washer, follow the

directions above to level the dryer.

• Adjust the leveling feet only as much as

necessary to level the dryer. Extending

the leveling feet more than necessary

can cause the dryer to vibrate.

10. Make sure all gas connections (on gas models) and exhaust, and electrical connections are

complete.

Plug in your dryer, and then check its operation by using the checklist on page 28.

11. For GAS MODELS ONLY: The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line.

Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not

ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to

your dryer has been turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

• Avoid mixing heavy and lightweight items together.

• To increase drying efficiency when drying one or two items, add a dry towel to the load.

• For best results, untangle items before inserting into the dryer.

• Overloading restricts tumbling action and results in uneven drying and wrinkling.

• Unless recommended on the care label, avoid drying woolens or fiberglass items.

• Avoid drying unwashed items.

• Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol, gasoline, etc.

Cleaning the lint filter

Clean the lint filter after or before every

load. This is to prevent a fire hazard.

1. Pull out the lint filter (A).

2. Remove the lint.

Troubleshooting

Checkpoints

If you encounter a problem with the dryer, first check the table below and try the

suggestions.

I •

Does not run.

Does not heat.

I •

Does not dry.

Make sure the door is latched shut.

Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical

outlet.

Check the home's circuit breaker and fuses.

Press or tap Start/Pause again if the door is opened during a

cycle.

Clean the lint filter.

Check the home's circuit breaker and fuses.

Some cycles do not require heating. Check the selected cycle

again.

For a gas dryer, make sure the gas supply is on.

Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.

Check the lint filter and clean them if necessary.

The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the

cycle.

Check all of the above, plus...

Make sure the exhaust hood outside the home can open and

close freely.

Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be

inspected and cleaned annually.

Use a 4" rigid metal exhaust duct.

Do not overload. 1_wash load = 1_dryer load.

Sort heavy items from lightweight items.

Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may

require repositioning to ensure even drying.

Make sure that the dryer is draining properly to extract

adequate water from the load.

The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few

towels and restart the dryer.

The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some

items and restart the dryer.

Clean the lint filter.

Dries unevenly.

Lint on clothes.

• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails,

etc. Remove promptly.

• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element

cycle on and off during the drying cycle.

• Make sure the dryer is levelled properly as outlined in the

installation instructions.

• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of

air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system.

• Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not

be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached

the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose

a higher dryness level or a cycle that involves such a high

dryness level.

• If one heavy item is dried with a light weighing load, such as

one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will

not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached

the selected dryness level.

• For best drying results, sort heavy items from lightweight

items.

• Household odours from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc.

may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is

normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it,

pulls it through the tumbler, and exhausts it outside.

• When these odours linger in the air, completely ventilate the

room before using the dryer.

• Use a cycle featuring the Refresh function. If odours persist,

wash and dry the item again.

• Make sure the case filter is cleaned before every load. For

clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the filter case during

the cycle.
