instructions. These precautions are intended for
the personal safety of the operator, user, servicer,
and those maintaining the machine.

(“IMPORTANT” and “NOTE”) are followed by specific
instructions.
IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used to

Important Safety Instructions
Save These Instructions
1. Read all instructions before using the dryer.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the dryer.
3. Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, soaked in, washed in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
4. Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary
when the dryer is used near children. This is a
safety rule for all appliances.
5. Before the dryer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the drying
compartment.

9. Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer,
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the User-Maintenance
Instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have
the skills to carry out.
10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics
or articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubberlike materials.
12. Always clean the lint filter after every load. A
layer of lint in the filter reduces drying
efficiency and prolongs drying time.
13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding area free from the
accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
14. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct
should be cleaned periodically by qualified
service personnel.
15. This gas appliance contains or produces a
chemical or chemicals which can cause death
or serious illness and which are known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. To reduce
the risk from substances in the fuel or from
fuel combustion, make sure this appliance is
installed, operated, and maintained according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
16. Dryer will not operate with the loading door
open. DO NOT bypass the door safety switch
by permitting the dryer to operate with the
door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when
the door is opened. Do not use the dryer if it
does not stop tumbling when the door is
openedor starts tumbling without pressing or
turning the START mechanism. Remove the
dryer from use and call the service person.
17. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or
cooking oil in the dryer, as these oils may not
be removed during washing. Due to the
remaining oil, the fabric may catch on fire by
itself.
18. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes
which have traces of any flammable
substances such as machine oil, flammable
chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything containing
wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning
cloths, or anything dry-cleaned at home with
dry-cleaning solvent in the dryer.
19. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose,
drying clothes.
20. Always disconnect the electrical power to the
dryer before attempting service. Disconnect
the power cord by grasping the plug, not the
cord.
21. If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cord or assembly available from
the manufacturer or its service agent.
22. Install this dryer according to the
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All
connections for electrical power, grounding
and gas supply must comply with local codes
and be made by licensed personnel when
required. Do not do it yourself unless you know
how!
23. Remove laundry immediately after the dryer
stops.
24. Always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions on packages of laundry and
cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or
precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or
chemical burns, keep them out of reach of
children at all times (preferably in a locked
cabinet).
25. Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and
draperies unless the label says it can be done.
If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder with a
damp cloth to remove particles of fiberglass.

Before Drying
Energy Saving Tips
•Make sure the lint filter is always clean.
•Do not overload the dryer.
•Do not overdry items.
•Remove items to be ironed while still damp.
•Large loads of similar fabrics dry the most
efficiently. However, dry permanent press in
smaller loads to prevent wrinkling.
•Use the correct cycle for the type of fabric
being dried.
•Locate your dryer so the exhaust duct is as
short and straight as possible.
•Do not open the door during the drying cycle.
•Plan to do your laundry on low humidity days;
your clothes will dry faster.
•Dry multiple loads of clothes one right after
another so dryer interior does not have to be
reheated for each load.
Helps and Hints
•The directions for installation and proper
exhausting are given in the Installation
Instructions which are included with the dryer.
•Static electricity may cause garments of
synthetic fibers (as in lingerie) to cling
together, especially if they are overdried. The
use of a liquid fabric softener in the rinse
water of the washer, or a fabric softener
sheet in the dryer, will soften clothes and
reduce static electricity.
•Do not wash or dry clothes that shed lint in
the same load with permanent press or knit
garments.
•Remove permanent press loads immediately
after dryer stops.
•Follow the care labels on FLAME RETARDANT,
SCOTCH- GUARD™, etc., garments for the
proper washing and drying.
•If loads should be damp for ironing, turn timer
knob to the ENERGY SAVER setting, if
applicable, marked with a dot (•), in
AUTOMATIC or TIME DRY cycles.
Sort
If you have correctly sorted the items for washing,
they should be properly sorted for drying too.
1. Sort by color.
2. Separate lint shedding fabrics and lint
receiving fabrics.
Towels, flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs, etc., shed
lint. Corduroys, knits (including socks), permanent
press, and synthetics attract lint.
3. Separate no heat, low heat and high heat
items.
In any kind of drying, lightweight fabrics will dry
faster than heavyweight fabrics. If mixed loads are
dried together (such as sheets and towels),
remove the lighter weight fabrics when they are dry
to prevent overdrying and wrinkling. The best
method is to dry clothes which require the same
time and temperature in the same load.

Load
•Do not overload your dryer. Bulk, not weight,
determines the load size. If the dryer is
overloaded, it could cause discoloration or
permanent heat damage to the load.
•There should be space in the dryer for the
clothes to tumble freely and help to reduce
wrinkles.
•Large and small pieces together make up loads
which will tumble well. Permanent press loads
should be smaller to provide room for tumbling.
Proper tumbling allows for fewer wrinkles.
•A load can be too small. Just a few small
pieces will not tumble properly. They will take
longer to dry and they may be wrinkled. For
small loads, add a couple of large towels or non
lint shedding items to aid in tumbling.
•The following illustrations show the ideal load
sizes for fabrics. The average load will fill the
cylinder one third to half full when wet.
Do not wash or dry items soiled with
vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils
may remain after washing and may
cause the fabric to catch on fire by
itself.
