WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury
or death to persons when using your dryer, follow
these basic precautions:
W130
• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION
manual for the proper grounding of the dryer.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, soaked
in, washed in, or spoed with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,
other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode. Highly flammable substances com-
monly used in domestic environments including acetone, dena-
tured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some
brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers. This appliance
shall not be used to dry off solvents or dry-cleaning fluids.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the unit. This appliance is
not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment.
• Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to wa-
ter and/or weather.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or aempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-mainte-
nance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static un-
less recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener
product.
• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles con-
taining foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly tex-
tured rubberlike materials. Foam rubber materials can, when
heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Always clean the filter after every load. A layer of lint in the fil-
ter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.
• Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surround-
ing area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
• The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

• 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 int he
fuel or from fuel combustion, make sure this appliance is instal-
led, operated, and maintained according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT by-
pass the door safety switch by permiing 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 opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop
tumbling when the door is opened or starts tumbling without
pressing or turning the START mechanism. Remove the dryer
from use and call the service person.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.
• Always disconnect the electrical power to the dryer before at-
tempting service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the
plug, not the cord.
• If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord
or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service
agent.
• Install this dryer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS. All connections for electrical power, earthing 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!
• Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.
• Always read and follow manufacturer's instructions on pack-
ages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or precau-
tions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep
them out of reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked
cabinet).
• 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.
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the gar-
ment manufacturer.
• Never operate the dryer with any guards and/or panels re-
moved.
• DO NOT operate the dryer with missing or broken parts.
• DO NOT bypass any safety devices.
• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine accord-
ing to the manufacturer's instructions may result in conditions
which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-
STRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to
cover all possible conditions and situations that may oc-
cur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised
when installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manu-
facturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

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
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, serious injury or
death, clothes which have traces of any flammable
substances such as cooking oil, machine oil, flamma-
ble chemicals, thinner, etc. must not be put into the
dryer.
W131
• 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 proper washing and drying.
• If loads should be damp for ironing, use the Damp Dryness set-
ting, in an Automatic cycle.
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, coons, rugs, etc., shed lint. Corduroys, knits
(including socks), permanent press, and synthetics aract lint.
3. Separate no heat, low heat and high heat items.
In any kind of drying, lightweight fabrics will dry faster than heavy-
weight 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, temperature or dryness level in the
same load.
TLW1991N_SVG
Load
WARNING
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.
W527
• 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.

Operating Your Dryer
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury
or death to persons, read the Safety Information sec-
tion before operating the dryer.
W520
Available Drying Cycles
NOTE: Use the automatic cycles for drying items that
can be dried wih heat. These cycles automatically dry
loads to the dryness level selected.
MORE DRY will dry very small loads and some heavy items, such as
blue jeans, but will overdry lightweight items, such as sheets and
shirts. Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinking, excessive lint con-
ditions, and will use more energy than necessary.
LESS DRY, which uses the least energy, will dry large loads and
lightweight items, such as sheets and shirts, but might leave other
items, such as denim and heavy bath towels, more damp.
To increase energy savings and to make sure loads are dried with-
out overdrying, set your loads on LESS DRY. If items are damp at
the end of a cycle, the timer knob needs to be set closer to the
MORE DRY seing the next time these loads are dried. If items are
overdry at the end of a cycle, the timer knob should be set closer to
COOL DOWN when these loads are dried again. Remember the set-
tings that work best to get ideal drying results.
The COOL DOWN period at the end of each cycle provides items a
chance to tumble with no heat and cool down to room temperature.
This prevents wrinkles from seing if items cannot be cared for im-
mediately.
NOTE: The timer knob will not advance as quickly in the
AUTOMATIC cycles as it does in the TIME DRY cycle.
The time it takes for the timer to advance depends on
the type and size of the load being dried.
The ENERGY SAVER seings, marked with a dot, show which set-
tings will use the least energy and will leave items damp for easier
ironing.
Automatic Regular/Delicate Cycle
Use for sturdy items like play or work clothes and also for delicate
items. The type of heat is determined by choosing the proper Fabric
Selector option. There are three seings in the AUTOMATIC REGU-
LAR/DELICATE cycle - MAX DRY, MORE DRY, and LESS DRY.
Time Dry Cycle
This cycle will operate dryer for up to 75 minutes. Coons and
heavyweight items dry best between 50 and 75 minutes, and light-
weight items dry best between 20 and 40 minutes.
Automatic Wrinkle Out Cycle
Available on Select Models Only
Use this for items that are slightly wrinkled after siing in a dryer
or laundry basket overnight. The cycle has a short heat seing fol-
lowed by a five minute COOL DOWN.
Automatic Permanent Press/Knits Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The type of heat is
determined by selecting the proper Fabric Selector option. There
are two seings in the AUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS
cycle - MAX DRY or MORE DRY (seings vary by model) and LESS
DRY.
To Dry Clothes
IMPORTANT: Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS before using dryer.
IMPORTANT: Before using dryer for the first time, use an
all-purpose cleaner or a detergent and water solution
and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside of
dryer drum.
1. Sort items into separate loads.
TLW1991N_SVG
NOTE: Remove all sharp objects from laundry to
avoid tears and rips to items during normal machine
operation.
2. Remove lint filter cover, clean lint filter and replace cover.
