PREVENT FIRE
*Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or
near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
,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.
Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar ma-
terials such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby
pants, plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn.
Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain
circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint, The dryer
must be connected to an outdoors exhaust. Regularly
inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any
accumulation of lint around the opening and in the
* Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The in-
terior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct
should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by
qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint
build-up in these areas could result in inefficient drying
and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.
Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked,
damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and
damage to fabrics can occur.
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack
or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back
of the dryer.
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer
at any time.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
Do not continue to use the dryer is you hear squeaking,
grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could
be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or
serious injury. Contact a qualified technician immedi-
ately.

Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new
dryer:
A. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum is supported
by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a
thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This
may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period
of time, or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer
drum for an extended period, creating a temporary fiat
spot on the edge of the roller. The noise should dissipate
as the dryer operates and the fiat spots smooth out.
B. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is equipped with a high
volume air handling system. In some installations there
may be some sounds associated with air movement
throughout the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and
exhaust system. This is normal and can vary with load size
and type.
C. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.) The flow of gas is controlled
by electric solenoids. During operation there may be a
clicking sound as the valve opens and closes to control the
gas flow.
D. GAS BURNER (Gas models only.) When the burner is
operating, there may be sounds generated as the air flow
mixes with the gas flame. This noise is normal and will only
occur when the gas is ignited in the combustion tube. ilili!i;i;i!ii!;i;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;i!¸iiii!!!!!!!!!!!;!!ii!ii!i!!_iil¸_i_i_i_i_i_i_i_i_i_i_i_i;:!:_:!!!!!!!!!!i!_;_Ji!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!! .... ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;,

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.
(Mesh bag not included.)
1Prepare load for drying,
- Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction
in the same load.
- Separate dark items from light=colored items. Sepa=
rate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.
- Check for stains which may not have been removed
in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash
again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently
set some stains.
- Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.
- Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof
and won't damage the drum finish. Close zippers;

3 Load the dryer and close the door.
- Load items loosely. The average wet load wiii
fillthe drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to
tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.
- If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on
top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.
- To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying
and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
•When drying large items, dry only two or three
items at a time. Fill out the load with small and
medium sized items.
o For delicate or very small loads, add two or three
similar items to improve tumbling action.
4Select the appropriate cycle and settings for
each load.
Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint,
harshness and a build up of static electricity.

This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Consoles shown
above for reference only. Your model may differ.
Cycle Selection
Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle
desired. The indicator for that cycle will be illuminated.
To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel
button before selecting a new cycle..lust turning the
cycle selector knob to another selection will not change

For best results
Follow the fabric care label instructions
on items to be dried.
Auto DW Cycles
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the
correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars
at the back of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of
the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto
Dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the
selected temperature to the desired dryness level.
Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics.
When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it
will continue to tumble during a cool down period. This
helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle
during unloading.
Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of
load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry,
the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough moisture
to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few
minutes. If this occurs, select a Timed Dry cycle.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and
electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time.
