Introduction

Louisville built front load dryers incorporate steam features. These units do not utilize a separate steam

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 cycles• 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.

• LED Drum Lamp.• Reversible Door.• -

cessible on the control panel display.• Integrated Riser.• One Electronic Control Board.

Operating Instructions

PowerPress 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.

1

Normal/Mixed Loads For loads consisting of cottons and poly-blends.

Cottons For cottons and most linens.

Bulky/Bedding For large coats, bed spreads, mattress covers, sleeping bags, blankets, comforters, jackets, small rugs, and similar large and bulky items.

Active WearClothing worn for active sports exercise and some casual wear. Fabrics include new technology 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.

Speed Dry For small loads that are needed in a hurry, such as sports or school uniforms. Can also be used if 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.

SanitizeReduces certain types of bacteria by 99.8%, including: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The antibacterial process occurs when high heat is used during a portion of this drying cycle.

Steam Dewrinkle Full Loads Ideal for loads left in dryer for an extended time.

Warm Up Provides 10 minutes of warming time to warm up clothes.

Air Fluff Use to tumble items without heat.

Time Dry

3

Dry TempYou can change the temperature of your dry cycle.

4

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.



11

Sensor Dry LevelThe 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.

NOTE: Sensor dry Level only works with Cottons, Normal, Active Wear, Delicates, Speed Dry, Bulky, Towels/Sheets, Sanitize and Steam Dewrinkle cycles.

5

Extra Dry (on some models)

Use for heavy-duty fabrics or items that should be very dry, such as towels.

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.

6 Start/PausePress 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.

7 My CycleSet up your favorite combination of settings and save them here for one touch recall. These custom settings can be set while a cycle is in progress.

To store a My Cycle combination of settings:1. Select your drying cycle.2. Change Temp and Level settings to fit your

needs.3. Select any drying options you want.4. Press and hold the My Cycle button for 3

seconds to store your selection. A beep will sound and the button will light up.

To recall your stored My Cycle combination:Press the MY CYCLE button before drying a load.

To change your stored My Cycle combination:Repeat steps 1–4.

Steam Refresh CycleFor slightly wrinkled dry garments. Significantly reduces wrinkles on up to 5 garments. After the Steam Refresh Cycle, the unit will beep and display “0:00.” If the unit is not turned off or if the door is not opened, the dryer will continue to tumble for 30 minutes. At the end of 30 minutes, it will display “0:00” and the cycle will be complete.

NOTE: A single extremely light fabric item may need to have an additional item included to achieve optimum results.

8

Detangle (on some models)Activates reverse tumbling to reduce tangling, dry 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.

9

eDryReduces the total energy consumption of specific dryer cycles by adjusting certain heat settings.NOTE: Cycle times will change when e-Dry is selected.

This cycle can be used with Cottons, Normal, Active Wear, Delicates, Speed Dry, Bulky, Towels-Sheets, Sanitize and Steam Dewrinkle.

10



12

Extended TumbleMinimizes wrinkles by adding approximately 60 minutes of no-heat tumbling after clothes are dry. The beeper will sound every five minutes as a reminder to remove the clothes.

The estimated time remaining display will show “0:00”.The extended tumble time does not get added to the cycle time on the display.

11

Damp AlertThis option causes the dryer to beep when clothes have dried to a damp level. Remove items that you wish to hang dry. The Damp Alert will only beep when this option is selected.
