Important Safety Instructions
Save These Instructions
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.
• Install this dryer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the
INSTALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connec-
tion 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
water 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 chemi-
cals, dry-cleaning solvents, 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.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a
chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To
reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final
part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down
period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of
the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cook-
ing oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, 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
containing foam or latex rubber or similarly textured rubber-
like materials, 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
label says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the cyl-
inder with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiberglass.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close super-
vision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near
children. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or men-
tal capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, un-
less they have been given supervision or instruction con-
cerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by chil-
dren without supervision.
• Children less than three years should be kept away unless
continuously supervised.
• Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.

• Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.
ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the
garment manufacturer and only use the dryer drum to dry
textiles that have been washed in water.
• 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 (pref-
erably in a locked cabinet).
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
• Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.
• DO NOT operate the dryer if it is smoking, grinding or has
missing or broken parts or removed guards and/or panels.
DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devi-
ces.
• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separat-
ed from a stack unit.
• Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT
bypass the door safety switch by permitting the dryer to op-
erate 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 with-
out 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
surrounding 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 person-
nel.
• 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. ALWAYS disconnect the electrical power to the dryer
before attempting service. Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug, not the cord.
• Electric Models: If supply cord is damaged, it must be re-
placed by a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
• Gas Models: If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, re-
move the door to the drying compartment.
• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine
according 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
occur. Observe and be aware of other labels and pre-
cautions that are located on the machine. They are in-
tended to provide instruction for safe use of the ma-
chine. Common sense, caution and care must be exer-
cised when installing, maintaining, or operating the
dryer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the
manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not un-
derstand.

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.

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 Dryness setting. Auto-Sens-
ing cycles are Energy Saver cycles that help prevent over-dry-
ing.
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. The estimated
time will be shown in the digital display.
NOTE: The time shown before starting the cycle is esti-
mated by averaging the last 5 cycles run on the select-
ed cycle/dryness combination.
Cycle Use

turned on.
• Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or
needs cleaning.
• Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not
been pushed in or has not been blocked.
Dryer doesn’t dry clothes satisfactorily • Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or
needs cleaning.
• Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not
been pushed in or has not been blocked.
• Auto-Sensing cycle – Adjust Dryness selection.
• Manual cycle - Allow more or less time.
• Clean the lint filter.
• Make sure the load isn’t too small. Small loads may not tumble
properly or dry evenly.
• The Auto-Sensing cycles are not suggested to be used for small
loads such as two small towels. For those loads, use the Time

plastic toys, etc.). Remove items from dryer.
• Make sure dryer is level. Uneven leveling can cause vibration.
• Normal operating sounds include the heat source going on and off
and the humming of air moving through the dryer and exhaust sys-
tem.
Clothes are too wrinkled • Check heat setting. Overdrying can cause wrinkling.
• Check load size. Large loads may not tumble properly and may
cause wrinkling.
Clothes have odor • Check room for odors before drying clothes. Any odor (fried foods,
paint, varnish, cleaners, burning wood, etc.) will transfer to clothing
as the dryer draws air from the room.
• Ventilate room before drying clothes.
Cycle advances too slowly • When in an Auto-Sensing cycle, the time it takes depends on the
type and size of the load being dried. When clothing has more
moisture, the cycle takes longer than when the clothes are more
dry.
Er, ro on digital display • The dryer’s motor overload protector has cycled.
• The control can be cleared by pressing the Start/Pause button and
the dryer can be restarted by pressing the Start/Pause button
again.
• If this code is displayed again, remove the dryer from use and call
a service person.
