Important Safety Instructions SAVE THESEINSTRUCTIONS
Read aft instructions before using this dryer.
To reduce the riskof fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this dryer, comply with
the basic warnings listed below.
[] Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
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 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 rubber 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 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. If your dryer has a drying rack, always replace the lint screen
when finished using the drying rack.
-Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to
an exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint
around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.
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 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.
[] Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/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 packing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Children
might usethem 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
accidental entrapment.
[] Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Injury 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. Installation instructions are
packed in the dryer for the installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSfor detailed grounding
procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled bya qualified service person.
To prevent personal injury or 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
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or injury.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical
shock could occur.
_To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer ifthe drum ismoving. Wait until the dryer has stopped
completely before reaching into the drum.

Place the front bar under
the lip of the lint screen opening.
Check that lint screen is clean and in place.
Load the dryer.
o The average load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely
for even drying and less wrinkling. Do not overload dryer.
When drying large items, dry only 2 or 3 at a time. Fill out the load with small and
medium sized items.
For delicate or very small loads, add 2 lint-free towels for better drying, less
wrinkling, and to prevent grease stains caused by fabric softener sheets.
Do not overdry items. Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinkage, harshness, and
a build-up of static electricity, which can produce more lint.

Care and Cleaning
Clean lint screen after every load.
Do not store or place laundry products
on top of dryer at any time. They can
damage the finish or controls.
To reduce riskof fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the
basic warnings listed in Important Safety Instructions and those listed below.
* Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electricalpowercordto avoid electrical
shock hazards.
* Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or
electrical shock could occur.
Inside
*Clean the lint screen after every load. Lint build-up inthe screen restricts air flow, which
causes longer drying times. The screen is located at the bottom of the door opening.
Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the screen.
CAUTION -Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must
be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening
and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the
surrounding area.
* Occasionally awaxy build-up may form on the lint screen from using dryer-added fabric
softener sheets.To remove this build-up, wash the lint screen in warm, soapy water. Dry
thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint screen in place.
* Ifthe dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, cleanthe drum with adamp
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 [1/2 cup
(120 ml)in 1 quart (.95 liter) water]. Rinseseveral times with clear water.
