Maintenance 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 unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY
plastics or articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubberlike materials.
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 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 in the fuel
or from fuel combustion, make sure this
appliance is installed, operated, and
maintained according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
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
opened or starts tumbling without pressing
or turning the START mechanism. Remove
the dryer from use and call the service
person.

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 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.
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!
Remove laundry immediately after the dryer
stops.
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).
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.

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.
1. Sort by colon
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.
Tt W1991N

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.
