Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.  
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.  
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.  
Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.  
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical  
supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate)  
on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit  
breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in  
the neutral or grounding circuit.  
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom  
of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are  
acceptable.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
If your outlet looks like this:  
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:  
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or  
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock  
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.  
This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding  
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged  
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and  
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge  
copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground  
conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white  
cover.  
For a permanently connected dryer:  
This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal,  
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding  
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and  
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on  
the dryer.  
If your outlet looks like this:  
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-  
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative  
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is  
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power  
supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet  
installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING  
WARNING  
Explosion Hazard  
Fire Hazard  
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as  
gasoline, away from dryer.  
No washer can completely remove oil.  
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on  
it (including cooking oils).  
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything  
flammable on it (even after washing).  
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried  
on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,  
explosion, or fire.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death  
or fire.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.  
7. If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.  
8. Press PUSH TO START.  
This book covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the cycles and  
features described.  
Stopping and Restarting  
You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.  
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from storing  
and shipping.  
To stop your dryer  
1. Clean lint screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”  
Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.  
NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when the dryer is not in use.  
To restart your dryer  
2. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not pack the dryer. Allow space  
for clothes to tumble freely.  
3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for the type of load being dried.  
ENERGY PREFERRED Sensor Dry setting is indicated on the timer dial, between the words  
MORE DRY and LESS DRY. Use this ENERGY PREFFERED cycle to dry most heavy- to  
medium-weight fabrics.  
1. Close the door.  
2. Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired).  
3. Press the PUSH TO START button.  
4. Set the Temperature control to the recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried.  
How Sensor Dry Works  
See Dryer Cycle Descriptions (separate sheet) for temperature suggestions.  
When you are using the Sensor Dry Cycle, the dryness of the load is determined by two metal  
strips (sensors) located on the inside of the dryer. The metal strips help “feel” the amount of  
moisture left in the clothes as they tumble. When moisture is left in the clothes, the Cycle  
Control knob will not advance. As clothes begin to dry, the amount of water left in the clothes  
decreases, and the timer advances through the remainder of the cycle. When the selected  
dryness level is reached, the dryer goes into a cool down period of up to 10 minutes.  
5. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a WRINKLE PREVENT feature selector. When you are  
unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. This feature  
periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load without heat to help avoid wrinkling.  
6. (OPTIONAL) If you want the dryer to sound a signal when the cycle is finished, set the  
END OF CYCLE SIGNAL control to ON. The signal is helpful when you are drying  
permanent press, synthetics and other items that should be removed from the dryer as  
soon as it stops.
