15" Pedestal

Color-matched pedestals raise the washer

and dryer to a more comfortable working

height. The large drawer provides convenient

storage.

Stack Kit

If space is at a premium, the stack kit

allows the dryer to be installed on top

of the washer.

Check Your Vent System for Good Airow

Good airow

Along with heat, dryers require good airow to efciently dry

laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and

improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role

in good airow.

Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered

by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless

of who installed the dryer.

Maintain good airow by:

n Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

n Replace plastic or foil vent material

with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid

vent material.

Good Better

n Use the shortest length of vent possible.

n Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces airow.

n Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

n Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system

at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be

sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with

your dryer for nal product check.

n Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

Use Automatic Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Automatic Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Cycles,

drying air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer

shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

With Manual Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to

over-drying. Use Manual Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

Control panel and features

NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds

to a light touch of your nger. To ensure your selections are registered,

touch the control panel with your nger tip, not your ngernail. When

selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.

OPTIONS

2. Load the dryer

Open the door by pulling on the handle. Place laundry in the

dryer. Add a dryer sheet to wet load, if desired. Close the door.

IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack the dryer. Items need

to tumble freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor drying

performance and may increase wrinkling and tangling.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before

operating this appliance.

7. Remove garments promptly after

cycle is nished

Promptly remove garments after cycle has completed

to reduce wrinkling.

5. Adjust cycle settings, if desired

You may adjust different settings, depending on whether you

have selected an Automatic Cycle or Manual Cycle. See the

“Cycle Guide” for detailed information.

NOTE: Not all options and settings are available with all cycles.

Not all cycles are on all models.

Automatic Cycles:

You can select a different dryness level, depending on your

load. Touch DRYNESS LEVEL to scroll to More, Normal, or

Less. Selecting More, Normal, or Less automatically adjusts

the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a

dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping

the cycle.

Automatic Cycles give the best drying in the shortest time.

Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and

dryness setting. Drying time is estimated and may change

throughout the cycle. Drying time can not be changed on

Automatic Cycles.

NOTE: Automatic cycles use a preset temperature that is not

adjustable.

Manual Cycles:

When you select a Manual Cycle, the default

time appears in the display. Touch +and –

to increase or decrease the time in 1-minute

increments. Touch and hold to change the

time in 5-minute increments.

The default temperature may be changed by

pressing Temp until the desired dry temperature is lit. Once a

cycle has started, the temperature can be changed after rst

pausing the cycle.

Changing the Automatic Cycle settings

to increase or decrease drying time

If all your loads on all Automatic Cycles are consistently

less dry or more dry than you would like, you may change

the default settings to increase or decrease the default

dryness level.

Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to

different installations, environmental conditions, or personal

preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your

Automatic Cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are

5 drying settings, which are displayed using the time

display:

F1 Factory preset dryness level.

F2 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.

F3 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.

F4 Slightly wetter clothes, 15% less drying time.

F5 Much wetter clothes, 30% less drying time.

To change the drying settings:

NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer

is running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode

(power is off) to adjust the default settings.

1. Before starting a cycle, touch and hold DRYNESS

LEVEL for 6 seconds.

2. Touch DRYNESS LEVEL to select the dryness level

shown in the time display: F1, F2, F3, F4, or F5.

3. Touch START/PAUSE to save the new dryness level

setting.

the holes in the dryer door opening and press down fully

into holes. Rest the rear support on the dryer back ledge.

USING THE DRYING RACK

To obtain a drying rack for your dryer, order by calling

1-877-944-7566. You will need your model and serial

number and the purchase date. Remove and discard

any packing material before use.

Use the Drying Rack for items that you do not want to

tumble dry, such as sweaters and tennis shoes. When you

use the drying rack, the drum continues to turn, but the rack

remains stationary.

The drying rack is intended for use with the Manual Dry/

Time Dry cycles only. The drying rack cannot be used with

Automatic cycles.

To use the drying rack:

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the lint screen.

1. Open dryer door.

3. Place wet items on top of the drying rack. Allow space

around items for air to circulate. The drying rack does

not move, but the drum will rotate; be sure to leave

adequate clearance between items and the inside of

the dryer drum. Make sure items do not hang over the

edges or between drying rack grille.

4. Close the door.

5. Select a Time Dry/Air Only, or Low Temperature cycle.

Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried

on a clothesline or by using the Air Only setting.

6. When the cycle is selected, the Estimated Time

Remaining display shows the default time. You can

change the actual time in the cycle by increasing or

decreasing the cycle time.

7. Start the dryer.

NOTE: Check the lint screen and remove any lint

accumulated from items dried on the drying rack

after the cycle is nished.

Cycle Status Indicators

The Cycle Status Indicators show the progress of a cycle.

Check Vent

This indicator will show the status of airow through the

dryer and dryer vent system for the dryer’s life. During the
