SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Place the dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation.  
Do not use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce  
the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.  
Use only rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal 4-inch diameter duct inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to  
the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork may cause a fire. Punctured ductwork may cause  
a fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.  
The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 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.  
Rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. All non-  
rigid metal transition duct must be UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition duct could affect drying  
time.  
Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap  
should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use.  
Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.  
The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted  
outdoors, some fine lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the laundry area. An  
accumulation of lint in any area of the home may create a health and fire hazard.  
Do not install near another heat source such as a stove, oven or heater.  
Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,  
dust, and dirt.  
The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to  
a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.

gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.  
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or  
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or  
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.  
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
7
Read all instructions before using the appliance and save these instructions.  
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose.  
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door of the appliance.  
Do not allow children to play on, in or with the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when  
the appliance is used near children.  
Do not tamper with controls.  
In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.) do not operate this or any other appliance. Open a  
window or door to ventilate the area immediately.  
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used  
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used for  
such a period, before using the appliance turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for  
several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or  
use an open flame during this time.  
Fix the drain hose securely in place.  
Do not put oily or greasy clothing, candles or flammable materials on top of the appliance.  
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the  
fabric softener or product.  
Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.  
Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, soiled with or spotted with  
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, vegetable oil, cooking oil or other flammable or explosive substances, as  
they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.  
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.  
Do not store plastic, paper, or clothing that may burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.  
Always check the inside of the appliance for foreign objects.  
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four potentially hazardous substances, namely benzene,  
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or  
LP fuels.  
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be  
minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.  
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may  
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.  
To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without  
heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items  
are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.  
Do not let children or pets climb inside the dryer drum.  
Do not put living animals such as pets inside the product.  
Do not put any part of your body, such as your hands or feet, or metal objects under the product.  
Do not let your hand get pinched when opening or closing the dryer door.  
This appliance is intended to be used in household only.  
Do not dry unwashed items in the appliance.

Checking Airflow  
Effective dryer operation requires proper 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 0.6 inch (1.5 cm).  
The dryer should be checked while the dryer is  
running with no load.  
Checking Levelness  
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the  
dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front  
to back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet  
are in firm contact with the floor.

Check the Duct Condition  
Restricted or Blocked Airflow  
If the Flow Sense™ Display is turned on, check the  
exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair  
or replace the exhaust system as needed.  
Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or  
bends.  
NOTE  
When the dryer is first installed, this test should be  
performed to alert you to any existing problems with  
the exhaust duct in your home. However, since the  
test performed during normal operation provides  
more accurate information on the condition of the  
exhaust duct than the installation test, the number  
of bars displayed during the two tests may not be  
the same.  
Too many elbows or  
exhaust too long  
Excess or crushed  
transition duct  
Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in  
inaccurate results.  
Even if the Flow Sense display does not light up  
during the test cycle, some restrictions may still be  
present in the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting  
the Dryer section of this manual for complete  
exhaust system and venting requirements.  
Check for blockages and lint buildup.

WARNING  
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before  
operating this appliance.  
Using the Dryer  
Clean the Lint Filter  
1
If the lint filter has not already been cleaned, lift out the filter and remove the  
lint from the last load. This will help ensure the fastest and most efficient drying  
performance. Make sure to reinstall the filter, pressing down until it clicks firmly  
into place.  
Load the Dryer  
2
Load the dryer with the wet laundry from the washer. If the load is extra large,  
you may need to divide it into smaller loads for proper performance and fabric  
care.  
Turn on the Dryer  
3
Press the Encendido/Apagado (Power) button to turn on the dryer. The cycle  
LEDs will illuminate and a chime will sound.  
Select a Cycle  
4
Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction until the LED for the desired  
cycle is on. The preset temperature, dry level, and option settings for that cycle  
will be shown. Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed if  
desired. Refer to the Cycle Setting and Options page for details.  
NOTE  
Not all options or modifiers are available on all cycles. Refer to the Cycle  
Guide page for default settings and available options. A different chime will  
sound and the LED will not come on if the selection is not available.  
Begin Cycle  
5
Press the Inicio/Pausa(Start/Pause) button to begin the cycle. The cycle can  
be paused at any time either by opening the door or by pressing the Inicio/  
Pausa(Start/Pause) button. If the cycle is not restarted within 14 minutes of  
being paused, the dryer will shut off and the settings will be lost.  
End of Cycle  
6
When the cycle is finished, the chime will sound. Immediately remove your  
clothing from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If Anti Arrugas(Wrinkle Care) is  
selected, the dryer will tumble briefly every few minutes to help prevent wrinkles  
from setting in the clothes.  
32 OPERATION  
Grouping Similar Items  
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be  
dried with the same drying cycle.  
Check the Lint Filter Before  
Every Load  
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before  
starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase  
drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and  
roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Push the lint  
filter firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning  
for more information.  
Different fabrics have different care requirements,  
and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.  
Loading the Dryer  
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed  
before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a  
loose or missing lint filter will damage the dryer and  
articles in the dryer.  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric  
shock, injury to persons, and death when  
using this appliance, follow basic precautions,  
including the following:  
Check all pockets to make sure that they are  
empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and  
keys can damage both the dryer and your  
clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or  
matches could ignite, causing a fire.  
Never dry clothes that have been exposed to  
oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances.  
Washing clothes will not completely remove oil  
residues.

Fabric Care Labels  
Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label.  
Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option  
selections to care for your clothing according to the  
manufacturer’s recommendations.  
Combine large and small items in the same load.  
Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not  
overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble  
and dry properly.  
Tumble dry  
Use mesh laundry bags to separate clothes with  
zippers, hooks, straps, and drawstrings to prevent  
them from catching on or tangling with other clothes  
or damaging the lint filter.

Maintaining Ductwork  
MAINTENANCE  
Regular Cleaning  
Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup  
once per month and cleaned at least once per  
year. If any noticeable reduction in airflow or drying  
performance occurs, immediately check ductwork  
for obstructions and blockages. Contact a qualified  
technician or service provider.  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,  
injury to persons, or death when using this  
appliance, follow basic precautions, including  
the following:  
Cleaning the Lint Filter  
Always clean the lint from the filter after every cycle.  
Unplug the dryer before cleaning.  
Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners,  
or solvents to clean the washer. They will  
damage the finish.  
Cleaning the Exterior  
Lint Filter  
Proper care of your dryer can extend its life. The  
outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm  
water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent.  
Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp  
cloth.  
To clean the lint filter, open the dryer door and pull  
the lint filter straight up. Then:  
For everyday cleaning, roll any lint off the filter  
1
with your fingers, or  
NOTE  
Do not use methylated spirits, solvents, or similar  
products.  
Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they  
can damage the surface.  
Cleaning the Interior  
Wipe around the door opening and seal with a soft,  
damp cloth to prevent lint and dust buildup that could  
damage the door seal.  
Vacuum the lint filter.  
2
Clean the window with a soft cloth dampened with  
warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household  
detergent, then wipe dry.  
The stainless steel drum can be cleaned with a  
conventional stainless steel cleaner, used according  
to the manufacturer’s specifications. Never use steel  
wool or abrasive cleansers; they may scratch or  
damage the surface.  
If the lint filter has become very dirty or clogged  
with fabric softener, wash the lint filter in warm,  
soapy water and allow it to dry thoroughly before  
reinstalling.  
3
Cleaning Around and Under the  
Dryer  
Vacuum lint and dust from around the dryer and  
underneath it regularly. Vent ductwork should be  
checked for lint buildup and cleaned at least once per  
year. If any noticeable reduction in airflow or drying  
performance occurs, immediately check ductwork for  
obstructions and blockages.  
NOTE  
NEVER operate the dryer without the lint filter in  
place.  
TROUBLESHOOTING 47  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions  
Q:  
When I press a button, why does my dryer beep and then nothing happens?  
A:  
The Bloqueo de Panel(Control Lock) feature is turned on. To turn off  
Bloqueo de Panel(Control Lock), turn the dryer on, then press and hold the button that has  
*Bloqueo de Panel(Control Lock) on or under it for 3 seconds.  
Q:  
Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?  
A:  
Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers. A lint filter which is full of lint or  
clogged with fabric softener sheet residue can reduce the airflow to the point that the time required  
to dry clothing will be greatly increased. Another factor affecting dry time is your home exhaust  
system. An exhaust system which is dirty and clogged with lint, or is excessively long, needs to be  
professionally cleaned or repaired.  
Q:  
Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes?  
A:  
This is how the Anti Arrugas(Wrinkle Care) feature works. The dryer runs briefly every few minutes  
for up to 3 hours after the cycle finishes. This feature is designed to help prevent wrinkles from  
setting in when the dryer is not unloaded immediately after the cycle is finished.  
Q:  
Why does my dryer show 3 minutes when I select the Steam Fresh™ cycle?  
A:  
When the Steam Fresh™ cycle is selected, the dryer displays the recommended number of garments  
for the cycle, not the estimated cycle time, until the cycle is started. Use the Más Tiempo(More  
Time) or Menos Tiempo(Less Time) buttons to adjust the load size setting for the number of  
garments you desire. For a large load or single bulky item use the  
(big) setting.
