CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINkING WATER AND TOxIC ENFORCEmENT ACT  
This act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause  
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential  
exposure to such substances.  
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these 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.

or at either end. The power cord can melt,  
creating electrical shock and/or fire hazard.  
Refer to the installation instructions in this  
manual for specific electrical requirements  
for your model. Failure to follow these  
instructions can create an electrical shock  
hazard and/or a fire hazard.  
When installing or moving the dryer, be  
careful not to pinch, crush, or damage  
the power cord. This will prevent injury and  
prevent damage to the dryer from fire and  
electrical shock.  
This dryer must be plugged into a properly  
grounded outlet. Electrical shock can result if  
the dryer is not properly grounded. Have the

ImPORTANT: Follow the operating and care instructions in this  
manual and your dryer will provide many years of reliable service.  
It is important that you review this entire manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions  
concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the  
following pages.  
INSTALLATION LOCATION REQUIREmENTS  
A location that allows for proper exhaust installation.  
A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See  
Venting Requirements.  
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm)  
under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1 inch (2.5  
cm), install Extended Dryer Feet Kit. Clothes may not  
tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not  
operate correctly if dryer is not level.  
A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft.  
(61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Electrical  
Requirements.  
For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer  
at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. If using a  
pedestal, you will need 18 inches (46 cm) to the bottom  
of the dryer.  
A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200  
lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion  
appliance should also be considered.  
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45º F (7º C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the  
end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times.  
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.  
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile  
homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECk  
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation  
with the following tests and Duct Condition Testing on the following page.  
Testing Dryer Heating  
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 inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be  
checked while the dryer is running with no load.  
GASꢀMODELS  
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch  
to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat  
setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should  
ignite the main burner.  
NOTE: If all air is not purged from the gas line,  
the gas igniter may turn off before the main  
burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will  
reattempt gas ignition after approximately  
two minutes.  
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 4 leveling feet are firmly on the floor.  
ELECTRICꢀMODELS  
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch  
to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat  
setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the  
dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.  
23  
DUCT CONDITION TEST  
Your dryer features FlowSenseTM , an innovative  
sensing system that automatically detects blockages  
and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork  
clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows  
clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.  
Correct Venting  
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 does the  
installation test, the number of bars displayed during  
the two tests may not be the same.  
To activate the duct condition test :  
Restricted or Blocked Airflow  
NOTE: Dryer heating test must be performed before  
proceeding. If heating is normal, perform cooling  
properly. Then perform the duct condition test below:  
Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows  
or bends.  
Press and hold the DAMP DRY BEEP and  
TEMP. CONTROL buttons at the same time.  
While holding these buttons, press POWER  
ON/OFF.

The dryer will show lnS in the number display  
to indicate that it is in duct condition testing  
mode.  
Check for blockages and lint buildup.  
Press the START/PAUSE button.  
The dryer will run for  
approximately 2 minutes to test  
for blockages or restrictions to air  
flow in the ductwork.  
If no bars are shown in the display,  
the ductwork is free from serious  
blockages or restrictions.  
Make sure the ductwork is not crushed  
or restricted.  
If all bars are lit, the dryer ductwork  
has a serious blockage that needs to be  
removed immediately.  
IMPORTANT: Do NOT interrupt the test cycle!  
NOTE: Even if no bars are displayed during the duct  
condition test, some restrictions may still be present  
in the exhaust dust. Refer to pages 14-15 for more  
information.

BEFORE EVERY LOAD  
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels  
that include instructions for proper care.  
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before  
starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will  
increase drying times.  
Fabric Care Labels  
To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any  
lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or  
wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter  
firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning

LOADING THE DRYER  
wWARNING:  
To reduce the risk  
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons 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 your dryer and your  
clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters  
or matches could ignite, causing a fire.  
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,  
or death.  
Never dry clothes that have been exposed to  
oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances.  
Washing clothes will not completely remove  
oil residues. Failure to obey this warning can  
result in fire, explosion, or death.  
Loading Tips  
• Combine large and small items in a load.  
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not  
overload the dryer; clothes require room to  
tumble dry properly.  
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to  
prevent these items from snagging or tangling  
on other clothes.

more consistent drying times for large and heavy  
fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of  
a consistent size.  
• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of  
load you are drying.  
• Dryer controls are not set  
properly.  
• Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load.  
With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it  
may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.  
• Lint filter needs to be  
cleaned.  
• Confirm that the exhaust ductwork is properly  
configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions.  
Make sure that outside wall dampers can open  
properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.  
• Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty,  
or duct run is too long.  
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase  
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have  
it corrected by a qualified electrician.  
• House fuse is blown, circuit  
breaker has tripped, or  
power outage has occurred.  
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.  
• Dryer is overloaded.  
• Dryer is underloaded.  
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra  
items to ensure proper tumbling action.  
• Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled  
clothes. Try a shorter drying time, and remove items  
while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.  
Clothes are wrinkled • Clothes dried too long  
(overdried).  
• Remove items from the dryer immediately at the end of  
the cycle. Use the WRINKLE CARE option to continue  
tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for up to 3 hours.  
• Clothes left in dryer too long  
after cycle ends.  
To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric  
care instructions for your garment, because some  
fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics  
can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use  
a low or no heat setting and/or the RACK DRY option.
