WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons when using your dryer, follow these basic pre-
cautions:
W034
• Read all instructions before using the dryer.
• Install this dryer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the IN-
STALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connection of
the dryer. All connections for electrical power, earth/ground
and gas supply must comply with local codes and be made by
licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to wa-
ter and/or weather.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed
in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline or machine oils, vegetable
or cooking oils, cleaning waxes or chemicals, dry-cleaning sol-
vents, thinner, anything containing chemicals such as in mops
and cleaning cloths, or other flammable or explosive substances
as they give off vapors that could ignite, explode or cause fabric
to catch on fire by itself.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking
oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpen-
tine, waxes and wax removers, should be washed in hot water
with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the
tumble dryer.
• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles con-
taining foam or latex rubber or similarly textured rubberlike ma-
terials, such as shower caps, water proof textiles, rubber-
backed articles, and clothes or pillows filled with foam rubber
pads.
• Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and draperies unless the la-
bel says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder
with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiberglass.
• 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 appliance is not intended for use by persons (including chil-
dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety. This is a safety rule for
all appliances.
• Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.
• Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes. AL-
WAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the gar-
ment manufacturer and only use the dryer drum to dry textiles
that have been washed in water.

• 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).
• Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.
• DO NOT operate the dryer if it is smoking, grinding or has miss-
ing or broken parts or removed guards and/or panels. DO NOT
tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices.
• Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT by-
pass 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 opened or starts tumbling without pressing
the START mechanism. Remove the dryer from use and call the
service person.
• ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in
the filter 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.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt 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. ALWAYS dis-
connect the electrical power to the dryer before attempting
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.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment.
• 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. Observe and be aware of other labels and precau-
tions that are located on the machine. They are intended
to provide instruction for safe use of the machine. Com-
mon sense, caution and care must be exercised when in-
stalling, maintaining, or operating the dryer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the man-
ufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not under-
stand.

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 dry-
er.
• 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, turn timer knob to the EN-
ERGY SAVER setting, 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 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.
