WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious in-
jury or death to persons when using your dryer, fol-
low these basic precautions:
W130
• Read all instructions before using the dryer.
• Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLA-
TION manual for the proper grounding of the dryer.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,
soaked in, washed in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-clean-
ing solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as
they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Highly
flammable substances commonly used in domestic envi-
ronments including acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/
gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpen-
tine, 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 appli-
ance is not intended for use by young children or infirm per-
sons without supervision. Young children should be super-
vised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, re-
move 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
water and/or weather.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• 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 in-
structions that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener product.
• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles
containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or simi-
larly textured rubberlike materials. Foam rubber materials
can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combus-
tion.
• Always clean the 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 sur-
rounding 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.

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. How-
ever, dry permanent press in smaller loads to prevent wrin-
kling.
• 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 dry-
er 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, flam-
mable 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
setting, 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, cottons, rugs, etc., shed lint. Cor-
duroys, knits (including socks), permanent press, and syn-
thetics 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, temper-
ature or dryness level in the same load.
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 dis-
coloration or permanent heat damage to the load.
• There should be space in the dryer for the clothes to tum-
ble 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 fab-
rics. The average load will fill the cylinder one third to half
full when wet.

Cycle Selection
The following cycle descriptions will help determine which cy-
cle to choose depending on the type of laundry being dried.
NOTE: Always check fabric care label for proper care
instructions.
Auto-Sensing
The Auto-Sensing drying cycle operation is determined by the
type of cycle selected as well as the moisture sensing system,
which can be set by changing the Auto-Dryness setting. Auto-
Sensing cycles are Energy Saver cycles that help prevent over-
drying.
When a wet load is put into the dryer it takes a certain amount
of time to reach the desired dryness level. The time will vary
with load size, type of fabric, amount of moisture in the load,
air flow and the laundry room environment.
To use, set Cycle Selection to Auto-Sensing, the Fabric Selector
to the desired cycle setting, and Auto-Dryness to the desired
dryness level.
NOTE: To use the energy-saving setting, select the Au-
to-Sensing cycle, set the Auto-Dryness to Near Dry*,
and set the Fabric Selector to Regular.
Sanitize
Sanitize is a 75-minute, high-heat cycle that sanitizes your
laundry by killing 99.9% of common household bacteria*. It is
recommended for medium size loads.
To use, set Cycle Selection to Sanitize and allow the cycle to
complete uninterrupted. Auto-Dryness is ignored unless set to
Dry & Extended Tumble.
NOTE: The Fabric Selector is ignored and will run at
high heat.
The Extended Tumble and Steam options are available with
the Sanitize Cycle.
NOTE: The Sanitize setting uses high heat and is not
recommended for all fabric types. Check the fabric la-
bel for proper care instructions.
*Bacteria tested by an independent lab were Staphylococcus
aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae. In-
dividual results may vary.
No Heat, 60 Min
No Heat, 60 Min, is a 60-minute tumble cycle that does not
use heat. Use on items that shrink easily or to "fluff" items to
help remove particles such as lint and pet hair.
To use, set Cycle Selection to No Heat. Changing the Fabric Se-
lector will not change the temperature. The Auto-Dryness se-
lections are ignored unless Dry & Extended Tumble is select-
ed.
NOTE: The No Heat, 60 Min cycle will take longer to dry
items.
Time Dry
Time Dry, will run at the selected temperature for a set num-
ber of minutes. Select the temperature based on the fabric
