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.
Test Dryer Heating
Gas Models
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Turn the knob and select the
Quick Dry. Press the Start/Pause buttons to start
the test. 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.
Electric Models
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Turn the knob and select the
Quick Dry. Press the Start/Pause buttons to start
the test. The exhaust air should be warm after the
dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.
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.
Test Exhaust System
Once you have completed the installation of the
appliance, use this test to make sure the condition
28 INSTALLATION
of the exhaust system is adequate for proper
operation of the appliance. This test should be
performed to alert you to any serious problems in
the exhaust system of your home.
• Your appliance features Flow SenseTM, 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.
NOTE
• The appliance should be cool before starting this
test. If the appliance was warmed up during
installation, run the Air Dry cycle for a few
minutes to reduce the interior temperature.
Activating the Installation Test
1 Remove the literature and then close the
door.
• Do not load anything in the drum for this
test, as it may affect the accuracy of the
results.
2 Press and hold the Damp Signal and Wrinkle
Care buttons and then press the Power
button.
• This button sequence activates the
installation test. The code 1Ns will display if
the activation is successful.
3 Press the Start/Pause button.
• The appliance will start the test, which will
last a few minutes. The heat will be turned
on and the temperatures in the drum will be
measured.
4 Check the display for results.
• During the test cycle, monitor the Flow
SenseTM display on the control panel. If
Flow Sense indicator lights up when the
cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate.
If the exhaust system is severely restricted,
the display will lights up. Have the system
checked immediately, as performance will
be poor. Other problems may also be
shown with error codes. Refer to the the
Error Code table for details and solutions.
5 End of cycle.
• At the end of the test cycle, ENd will display.
The test cycle will end and the appliance will
shut off automatically after a short delay.
Check the Duct Condition
If the Flow SenseTM LED is turned on, check the
exhaust system for restrictions and damage.
Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.
NOTE
• When the appliance 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 results during the
two tests may not be the same.
• Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could
result in inaccurate results.
• Even if the LED doesn't 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.

Before Use
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
Operation Overview
1 Clean the Lint Filter
• 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.
2 Load the Dryer
• Make sure that clothing is pushed entirely
into the drum and away from the door seal
area. Clothing that gets stuck between the
door and seal may be damaged or damage
the seal.
• If the load is extra large, you may need to
divide it into smaller loads for proper
performance and fabric care.
• All strings and attached belts of clothes
should be well tied and secured before
being put into the drum.
3 Turn on the Dryer
• Press the Power button to turn on the
dryer. The cycle LEDs will illuminate and a
chime will sound.
4 Select a Cycle
• 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.
• Pressing the Start/Pause button without
selecting a cycle immediately starts the
Normal cycle with the default settings.
Select the Normal cycle to change the
default settings.
5 Adjust Settings
Default settings for the selected cycle can now
be changed, if desired, using the cycle

from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If
Wrinkle Care is selected, the dryer will
tumble briefly every few minutes to help
prevent wrinkles from setting in the clothes.
Check the Lint Filter Before Every
Load
Always make sure the lint filter a 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
31OPERATION
ENGLISH
fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place.
See Regular Cleaning for more information.
Always ensure that 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.
Loading the Dryer
NOTE
• For the best drying performance and most
efficient energy usage, do not overload the
appliance.
General Tips
• Combine large and small items in the same load.
• 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.
NOTE
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not
overload the dryer; clothes require room to
tumble and dry properly.
Grouping Similar Items
For the best drying results, and to reduce the
possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothes into
loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements,
and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.
Woolen Items
• Always follow fabric care labels before drying
woolen items in a dryer. After the cycle, the
items may still be damp. Do not repeat the cycle.
Pull the items to their original shape if needed
and lay them flat to finish drying.
Woven and Loopknit Materials
• Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink,
depending on quality.
Permanent Press and Synthetics
• Do not overload your dryer. Take out permanent
press items as soon as the dryer stops to reduce
wrinkles.
Baby Clothes and Nightgowns
• Always check the manufacturer’s instructions.
Rubber and Plastics
• Do not dry any items made from or containing
rubber or plastics such as:
- Aprons, bibs and chair covers
- Curtains and tablecloths
- Bath mats
Fiberglass
• Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Glass
particles left in the dryer could be picked up by
your clothes the next time you use the dryer and
irritate your skin.
Fabric Care Labels
• Sort and dry laundry according to care labels,
size, and fabric type. Do not overload the dryer.
This will save energy and time and give the best
drying performance.
