Safety
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 materials such as bras, galoshes,
bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags
and pillows that may melt or burn. Some rub-
ber materials, when heated, can under certain
circumstances produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
The interior 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 ar-
eas could result in inefficient drying and possible
fire. See Care and Cleaning.
• Do not operate the dryer ifthe lint screen is
blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, over-
heating 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 elimi-
nate static unless recommended by the manu-
facturer of the fabric softener or product.
Do not continue to use the dryer if 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 immediately.
Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injuryand/
or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the
dryer.
PROTECT CHILDREN
Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the dryer is used near children. As children grow,
teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other pack-
ing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Chil-
dren might use them for play. Cartons covered
with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can
become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach.
To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings
on product labels.
Before the dryer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent ac-
cidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in serious personal injuries.

Safety
important Safety instructions, continued
PREVENTINJURY
*To prevent shock hazard and assure stability
during operation, the dryer must be installed
and electrically grounded by a qualified service
person in accordance with local codes. Installa-
tion instructions are packed in the dryer for the
installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding proce-
dures. If the dryer is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified
service person.
*To prevent personal injuryor damage to the
dryer, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer
must be plugged into a properly grounded and
polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding
prong must never be removed. Never ground
the dryer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension
cord or an adaptor plug.
*ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical
supply before attempting any service or clean-
ing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock
or injury.
*Do not use any type spray cleanser when clean-
ing dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical
shock could occur.
•To prevent injury,do not reach intothe dryer
if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has
stopped completely before reaching into the
drum.
PREVENT iNJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE
DRYER
®
®
All repairs and servicing must be performed by
an authorized servicer unless specifically rec-
ommended in this Use & Care Guide. Use only
authorized factory parts.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off
the motor in the unlikely event of an overheated

This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Console shown
above for reference only. Your model may differ.
To operate your dryer, follow these basic steps:
1. Check and clean the lint screen. (See page 9.) 4. Select desired settings and options. (See page
2. Load the dryer. (See page 9.) 9, page 13, page 14 and pages 15-16.)
5. Start the dryer. (See page 9.)
3. Select the desired cycle. (See page 9, pages
10-12 and page 18.)
Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds
from your new dryer: O
A. WATER VALVE (Steam models only.) The flow of
water iscontrolled by electric solenoids. During
operation there may be a clicking sound as the
valve opens and closes to control the water flow.
B. 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 inthe
dryer drum for an extended period, creating
a temporary flat spot on the edge of the
roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer
operates and the flat spots smooth out. fk
C. 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.
D. 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.
E. GAS BURNER (Gas models only.) When the
burner isoperating, 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 inthe combustion tube.

Operatin instructions
Operating Your Dryer
BEFORE USING YOUR DRYER
Read the important instructions in this section of
the Use and Care Guide before operating your
dryer.
OPERATING YOUR DRYER
1. Prepare load for drying.
Dry items of similar fabric, weight and con-
struction in the same load.
Separate dark items from light-colored items.
Separate items that shed lint from those that
attract lint.
=
3.
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 heat-
proof and won't damage the drum finish. Close
zippers; fasten hooks and Velcro®-Iike fasten-
ers. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snag-
ging and tangling.
Check that the lint filter is clean and
in place.
Load the dryer and close the door.
Load items loosely. The average wet load will
fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. items need room to
tumble freely for even drying and less wrin-
kling.
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.
For delicate or very small loads, add two or
three similar items to improve tumbling action.
Mesh bag not included.)

Operating Instructions

Cycle Selection
Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the
cycle desired. The indicator for that cycle will be
illuminated. Press on the cycle selector knob to
extend it or return it flush to the console.
For best results
Follow the fabric care label instructions
on items to be dried.
To change the cycle once it has begun, press the
cancel button before selecting a new cycle. Just
turning the cycle selector knob to another selec-
tion will not change the cycle.
AUTO DRY CYCLES
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of select-
ing 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, unheated,
during a cool down period. This helps reduce
wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during
unloading.
Drying time varies depending on size and damp-
ness 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 oc-
curs, then select the time dry cycle to dry such
loads.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installa-
tion and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also
affect drying time.

Care & Cleaning
• Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the
electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock
hazards.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when clean-
ing the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electri-
cal shock could occur.
INSIDE
= Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-
up on the filter restricts air flow, which causes
longer drying times. The filter is located at the
bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling
straight up. Remove the lint and replace the filter.
Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the
lint filter and/or moisture sensing bars from
using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To
remove this build-up, wash them with warm,
soapy water. Dry the filter thoroughly and re-
place. Do not operate the dryer without the lint
filter in place.
If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncol-
orfast fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth
and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove
cleanser residue before drying the next load.
Every 18 months an authorized servicer should
clean the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust
duct. These areas can collect lint and dust
over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up
could result in inefficient drying and possible
fire hazard.
OUTSIDE
= Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water.
Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers.
If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with
diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts
water). Rinse several times with clear water.
Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a
mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Or,
touch residue with the sticky side of the tape or
label.
When cleaning chrome parts use a window
cleaner with ammonia or mild soap and water.
Before moving the dryer, place a strip of card-
board or thin fiberboard under the front leveling
legs to prevent damage to the floor.

Solutions to Common Problems
Common D ing Probmems
Many drying problems involve poor cleaning results, poor soil and stain removal, residues of lint and
scum, and fabric damage. For satisfactory drying results, follow these suggestions provided by The
Soap and Detergent Association.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Greasy, oily • Fabric softener sheet. • Rub fabric softener stains •

rewash.
• Overloading.
Overdrying causes static
electricity.
Lint screen not clean when
cycle began.
Lint is attached to "pills."
Overdrying.
Temperature too high.
Overdrying.
Overloading.
Leaving items in dryer after
cycle ends.
Low water line pressure in
home is not sufficient to
atomize incoming water
during Steam cycle
Reduce load size and
rewash using liquid fabric
softener in the final rinse.
Or, add a fabric softener
sheet and tumble without
heat.
Use lint brush or roller to
remove lint.
Use a lint brush or shaver to
remove pills.
Irreversible condition.
Reduce load size and
tumble at medium or low
heat for 5-10 minutes.
Remove items immediately.
Hang or fold.
Check water line pressure
Add a few bath towels
to small loads for proper
tumbling.
Some "silk-like" fabrics
should be air dried.
Use proper drying tempera-
ture.
Place fabric softener sheet
on top of load before start-
ing the dryer.
Do not overload dryer.
Use fabric softener in
washer or dryer to reduce
static electricity.
Remove items when they
are slightly damp to avoid
overdrying.
Check that lint filter is clean
and in place.
Use fabric softener to lubri-
cate fibers.
When ironing, use spray
starch or fabric finish on
collars and cuffs.
Turn items inside out to
reduce abrasion.
Follow fabric care label
directions.
If shrinking is a concern,
check load often.
Remove items while slightly
damp and hang or lay flat to
complete drying.
Block knits into shape.
Do not overload dryer.
Remove items as soon as
cycle ends.
Ensure water line pressure
is minimum of 30 psi. Do
not exceed 120 psi.
