What are Sensor Dry and Time Dry?
Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.
Sensor Dry
The dryer senses the dampness of the laundry and automatically determines the heat level and operation time. You might
see a sudden increase or decrease in operation time if the sensor determines more or less drying is required. This is not a
malfunction.
Time Dry
Use TIME DRY to select heat level and drying time manually. This can be used if clothes are not as dry as you like them
at the end of the cycle. Use TIME DRY for heavy and bulky items and thick work.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
Not to mention unmatched big capacity, you can benefit from good
time efficiency, quiet operation and energy saving system.
DOUBLE-COATED STEEL DRUM
It is coated with one metal coating and the other polymer coating in order to guarantee high
durability and the long life.
ARTISTIC DESIGN
Modern front panel look and big crystal-clear glass door make your house look stylish.
DIGITAL FABRIC CARE
Multi-level temperature control heater takes a better care on your valued clothes.
EASY OF USE
A whole selection of user-friendly functions always make you comfortable with dryer operation.

GAS REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONSPart 7
19
Following are important instructions and information concerning the requirements for the gas supply and service for
gas dryers. Warning: The gas supply and service for a gas dryer must comply with all local codes and
ordinances. In the absence of any local codes or ordinances in your area, the gas supply and service for your gas
dryer must comply with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Failure to do so can
result in death, explosion, or fire.
1. Gas supply requirements: Liquefied Petroleum
(L.P.) Gas (2,500 Btu/ft3 (93.1 MJ/m3)) service
must be provided at 10 + 1.5 in. water column
pressure.
2. Do not attempt to connect the dryer to Liquified
Petroleum (LP Gas) Gas service without a
qualified professional.
3. Isolate the dryer from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at test pressure equal to or less
than 2/1 psi (3.45 kPa).
4. Supply Line Requirements. Your laundry room
must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer.
In the United States, an individual manual shutoff
valve MUST be installed within at least 6 feet
(1.8 m) of the dryer, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. A 1/8 in.
N.P.T. pipe plug must be installed as shown.
5. If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2
inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and
ordinances and when acceptable to your gas
supplier, 3/8 inch approved tubing may be used
where lengths are less than 20 feet (6.1 m).
Larger tubing should be used for lengths in
excess of 20 feet (6.1 m). It is also important that
you use pipe joint compound that is insoluble in
LP gas.
6. To reduce the danger of gas leaks, explosion, and
fire, please follow and observe the following

Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer.
Warning: DO NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling,
crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the
dryer with plastic or thin foil Ducting. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryer and
you should obtain the necessary venting materials
locally. For example, the outer end of exhaust pipe
must have a weather hood with hinged dampers to
prevent back-draft when the dryer is not in use.
2. Use only 4-in. (10 cm) rigid or fl exible metal
ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and for venting
outside. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fi re or death.
3. The exhaust duct must be 4 in. (10 cm) in diameter
with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept
as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts
before installing your new dryer. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fi re or death.
4. Rigid or semirigid metal ducting is recommended for
use between the dryer and the wall. In special
installations when it is impossible to make a
connection with the above recommendations, a UL-
listed fl exible metal transition duct may be used
between the dryer and wall connection only. The use
of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fi re or death.
5. DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners
which extend into the duct that could catch lint and
reduce the effi ciency of the exhaust system. Secure
all joints with duct tape. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fi re or death.
6. To maximize operating results, please observe the
duct length limitations noted in the chart above.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fi re
or death.
7. The Total length of flexible metal duct shall not
exceed 8 ft. (2.4m)
8. In Canada, that only those foil-type flexible ducts, if
any, specifically identified for use with the
appliance by the manufacturer shall be used. In the
United States, that only those foil-type flexible
ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the
appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with
the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct,
