Introduction
Louisville built front load dryers incorporate steam features. These units do not utilize a separate steam
JHQHUDWRU7KHVHGU\HUVXVHDZDWHUYDOYHDQGDVWHDPQR]]OHWKDWIXQFWLRQVDVD´PLVWLQJµRUL¿FH,WZRUNVLQ
conjunction with the heat generated by the dryer to de-wrinkle clothing.
Located in the Timed Dry Cycles, the steam cycles are:
• Steam Refresh: Freshens up to 5 slightly wrinkled dry garments, reducing wrinkles and odors to extend
for another wear.
• Steam Dewrinkle: Helps remove stubborn wrinkles from larger loads quickly and conveniently, even from
clothes left in the dryer from the day before.
A "Y" connector installed on the washer's cold water inlet hose supplies water to the dryer. The water valve

Other Features Include:
• Brillion Enabled Communication: Dryer can communicate with your Home Computer and/or iPhone®.
• 12 dryer cycles2ȺHUVHQKDQFHGGU\LQJSHUIRUPDQFHDQGIDEULFFDUH
• Energy Smart™: Enables your dryer to reduce energy consumption during periods of high energy costs.
• Sensor Dry: The sensor continuously monitors the amount of moisture in the load. When the moisture in
your clothes reaches your selected dry level, the dryer will stop.
• My Cycle: Sets up your favorite combination of settings and saves them here for on touch recall.
• Large 8.3 cubic foot dryer drum capacities.
• Integrated Drying Rack for drying delicate items, such as washable sweaters.
• Dual Thermistors: Thermistors are more sensitive to temperature changes and can relay the information
faster than thermostats. The dryer utilizes dual thermistors to monitor incoming air temperature, as well
as air temperature leaving the drum. The sensors work together with the heat and the blower to provide
consistent, even heat.

Operating Instructions
1 Power
Press to “wake up” the display. If the display is active, press to turn the dryer off.
NOTE: Pressing Power does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Dry Cycles
2 The dry cycle controls the length and tumble speed of the drying process. The chart below will help you match the dry
setting with the loads.
Normal/Mixed Loads For loads consisting of cottons and poly-blends.
Cottons For cottons and most linens.
For large coats, bed spreads, mattress covers, sleeping bags, blankets, comforters, jackets, small
Bulky/Bedding rugs, and similar large and bulky items.
Clothing worn for active sports exercise and some casual wear. Fabrics include new technology
Active Wear finishes and stretch fibers such as Spandex. Also for clothing labeled Easy Care or Perma Press:
For wrinkle-free and permanent press items.
Delicates For lingerie and special-care fabrics.
For small loads that are needed in a hurry, such as sports or school uniforms. Can also be used if
Speed Dry the previous cycle left some items damp, such as collars or waistbands.
Towels/Sheets Use for towels OR sheets. It is not recommended to mix towels and sheets in the same load.
Reduces certain types of bacteria by 99.8%, including: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas
Sanitize aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The antibacterial process occurs when high heat is used
during a portion of this drying cycle.
Steam Dewrinkle
Ideal for loads left in dryer for an extended time.
Full Loads
Warm Up Provides 10 minutes of warming time to warm up clothes.
Air Fluff Use to tumble items without heat.
Use to set your own dry time. Time Dry is also recommended for small loads. To use:
1. Turn dry cycle dial to Time Dry.
2. Increase the drying time by pressing the Add Time button.
Note: This button only increases the time. When max time is reached, pressing the button
Time Dry again will reset the counter to the lowest setting.
3. Select the Temp.
4. Close the door.
5. Press Start/Pause.

You can change the temperature of your dry
cycle.
High For regular to heavy cottons.
Medium For synthetics, blends and items labeled Permanent Press.
Low For delicates, synthetics and items labeled Tumble Dry Low.
Extra Low For lingerie and special-care fabrics.
No Heat This option may only be used with Air Fluff, in which items are tumbled without
heat.

Extra Dry Use for heavy-duty fabrics or items that should be very dry, such as towels.
(on some models)
More Dry Use for heavy or mixed type of fabrics.

Dry Use for normal dryness level suitable for most loads. This is the preferred cycle for
energy saving.
Less Dry Use for lighter fabric (ideal for ironing).
Damp For leaving items partially damp.
Start/Pause
6 Press to start a dry cycle. If the dryer is
running, press it once and it will pause the
dryer. Press it again to resume the dry cycle.

“0:00” and the cycle will be complete.
Detangle (on some models)

more evenly, and improve drying times. Typical
loads such as bed and bath mixed loads, where
sheets, towels and pillow cases are laundered
together, benefit from this capability. When the
dryer reverses direction, there will be a slight pause
and sound change. This is normal.
