SECTION A - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSDryer Section

Before Operating Your Dryer

Read your Owner's Guide. It has important safety and warranty information. It also has many suggestions for best drying results.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS in your owner's guide before operat-ing this appliance.

Operating Steps

Read Drying Procedures in your Owner's Guide. Itexplains these operating steps in detail.

1. Prepare items for drying.

2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place.

3. Load the dryer. If desired, add a dryer fabricsoftener sheet.

4. Close the dryer door.

5. Set Temperature controls.

6. Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired setting.

7. Start dryer. Turn Start control clockwise to ON.Hold for 1-2 seconds and release.

8. A signal will sound when the cycle ends.

9. Remove items immediately and hang or fold.

10.Clean lint screen after every load.

Temperature Selection

Always follow directions on fabric care labels.

To avoid fire hazard, do not use heat todry items containing feathers or down, foam rubber,

plastics, or similarly textured, rubber-like materials.Use Air Fluff-No Heat setting only.

The REGULAR-HIGH HEAT, PERM PRESS-MEDIUMHEAT , and KNITS/DELICATES-LOW HEAT temp-erature settings may be used with any cycle setting. TheAIR FLUFF-NO HEAT setting can be used only in theTimed Dry cycle.

AIR FLUFF-NO HEAT setting tumbles the load withoutheat. Use Air Fluff to freshen clothing, pillows or blankets, or to dust draperies.

Cycle Selection

Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired cycle andsetting.

Each cycle ends with a cool down period. The heatautomatically turns off and the load continues to tumblefor 5-10 minutes. This reduces wrinkling and makes

items easier to handle during unloading.

Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of load, weight and fabric type. Room temperature andhumidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time.

Automatic Perm Press/Delicates Cycle

This cycle is best for permanent press, knit and delicateitems. Drying time is determined automatically at thetemperature selection of your choice.

Medium heat is suggested for permanent press items.

Low heat is suggested for knit and delicate items.

If the dried load cannot be removed promptly, the cycleselector will advance to the Press Saver/Fabric Sentrysetting. Unheated tumbling continues during PressSaver/Fabric Sentry for approximately 30 minutes tohelp reduce wrinkling.


17/124

17

The cycle signal will sound briefly every 5 minutes as areminder to remove the load.

Automatic Regular Cycle

This cycle is best for cotton items that can be tumbledried.

Drying time is determined automatically at thetemperature selection of your choice. This cycle is bestfor items of similar fabric, weight and construction.

For items requiring more drying time, set cycle selector on MORE DRY .

For items requiring less drying time, set cycle selector on LESS DRY .

Timed Dry Cycle

This cycle provides up to 70 minutes of drying time atthe temperature selection of your choice.


18/124


19/124

Prewash - When soaking is not necessary, thePrewash setting can be used alone to help removeprotein-based stains such as milk, grass and bloodand to help loosen soils before washing. DuringPrewash, the washer will agitate the load for 2minutes, then drain, spin and shut off. Use theamount of detergent and other laundry productsrecommended for a normal wash cycle.

Note:

The Soak water temperature is the same as therinse water temperature selected; the Prewash

water temperature is the same as the wash water temperature selected. To avoid setting proteinstains, select cold water.

These cycle settings should always be followed bya complete wash cycle using the recommendedamount of detergent.

Controls

Select the desired control settings according to loadsize, fabric type and degree of soiling. See ControlSettings Chart below for detailed information onchoosing control settings.

WASH/RINSE TEMPERATURE determines water temperatures for washing and rinsing.

LOAD SIZE/WATER LEVEL determines the amountof wash and rinse water used for the wash load. Toincrease the water level after the wash cycle begins,turn the Load Size control to "Reset" and hold. When

water begins to enter the tub, turn the control to thedesired setting.

Important Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before using this dryer.

To reduce the risk of fire, electricalshock, or injury to persons when using this dryer,comply with the basic warnings listed below.

Failure to comply with these warnings could resultin serious personal injuries.

Prevent Fire

Do not wash or dry items that have beenpreviously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not storethese items on or near the dryer. These substancesgive off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothingon top of the laundry center. These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials.

Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents,or other flammable or explosive substances to the

1. Prepare items for drying.

Dry items of similar fabric, weight andconstruction in the same load.

Separate dark items from light-colored items.Separate items that shed lint from those thatattract lint. If an item sheds lint, turn it insideout.

Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and won't damage the drum finish. Closezippers, fasten hooks and Velcro-likefasteners. Tie strings and sashes to preventsnagging and tangling.

If possible, turn pockets inside out for evendrying.

Check for stains which may not have beenremoved in washing. Dryer heat maypermanently set some stains. Repeat stainremoval process before drying.

Place small items in a mesh bag to preventtangling and for easy removal.

2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place.

3. Load the dryer.

The average load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full.Items need room to tumble freely for evendrying and less wrinkling. Do not overloaddryer.

When drying large items, dry only 2 or 3 at atime. Fill out the load with small and mediumsized items.

For delicate or very small loads, add 2 lint-freetowels for better drying, less wrinkling, and toprevent grease stains caused by fabric softener sheets.

Do not overdry items. Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinkage, harshness, and a build-upof static electricity, which can produce morelint.

If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet.

1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals. per minute.

2. A standpipe diameter of 1 inches (3.18 cm)minimum.

NEMA 10-30R NEMA 14-30R

NOTE: Do not underany circum stancesremove groundingprong from plug.

Grounding Prong

3. The standpipe height above the floor should be:Minimum height: 33 inches (83.82 cm)Maximum height: 96 inches (244 cm)

Note: For installations requiring a longer drain hose,have a qualified technician install a longer hose,PN 131461201, available from an authorizedparts distributor. For drain systems in the floor,install a siphon break kit, available from your localhardware store.

EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Use only 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter (minimum) rigidor flexible metal duct and approved vent hood whichhas a swing-out damper(s) that opens when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the damper(s)automatically closes to prevent drafts and the entranceof insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet,maintain a minimum of 12 inches (38.5 cm) clearance

between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.

The following are specificrequirements for proper and safe operation of your laundry center. Failure to follow these instructionscan create excessive drying times and fire hazards.

Do not use plastic flexible duct toexhaustthe dryer. Excessive lint can build up insidethe exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrictair flow. Restricted air flow will increase drying times.If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metalduct. Ensure the present duct is free of any lintprior to installing laundry center dryer duct.

If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors,some fine lint will be expelled into the laundry area.

An accumulation of lint in any area of the home cancreate a health and fire hazard. The dryer exhaustsystem MUST be exhausted to the outside of thedwelling!

Do not allow combustible materials(for example: clothing,draperies/curtains, paper) tocome in contact with the exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, aceiling, or any concealed space of a building whichcan accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.

Do not exceed the length of duct pipeor number of elbows allowed in the EXHAUST DUCTLENGTHS chart. Lint can accumulate in the system,plugging the system and creating a fire hazard, as wellas increasing drying times.

Do not screen the exhaust ends of thevent system, nor use any screws or rivets to assemblethe exhaust system. Lint can become caught in thescreen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the exhaustsystem and creating a fire hazard as well as increasingdrying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate

the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installeddownstream with the flow of air.

EXHAUST LENGTHS

The maximum length of the exhaust system dependsupon the type of duct used, number of elbows andtype of exhaust hood.The following chart wasdeveloped to illustrate typical systems that could meetthe maximum system back pressure for laundry center installations.

In installations where the exhaust system is notdescribed in the chart, the following method must beused to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable.

1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer betweenthe drye and the point the exhaust connects to thedryer.

2. Set the dryer timer to air fluff or cool down andstart the dryer.

3. Read the system back pressure measurement onthe manometer.

4. The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher the 0.75 inches of water column. If the system backpressure is more than 0.75 inches of water colum,the system is too restrictive and the installation isunacceptable.

Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system isacceptable, certain extenuating circumstances couldaffect the performance of the dryer:

:$51,1*

:$51,1*

:$51,1*

Only rigid metal ductwork should be used.

Venting vertical through a roof may expose theexhaust system to downdrafts causing anincrease in vent restriction.

Running the exhaust system through anuninsulated area may cause condensation.

Compression of the exhaust system will cause anincrease in vent restriction.

The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaneda minimum of every two years with normal usage. Themore the dryer is used, the more often you shouldcheck the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.

The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with rear flush installation:

1. Straight back

2. Down (add an 8 inch (20.32 cm) length of 4 inch(10.16 cm)rigid duct and 1 elbow down)

3. Left (add an 8 inch (20.32 cm) length of 4 inch(10.16 cm) rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow left)

4. Right (add an 8 inch (20.32 cm) length of 4 inch(10.16 cm) rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow right)

To exhaust up , add an 11 inch (27.94 cm) length of standard 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter duct and a 90elbow. The unit will be positioned about 4 inches(11.43 cm) away from the wall (flush to wall upexhausting may be done by going below the dryer thensideways).
