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 materi-
als 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.
• Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, dam-
aged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to
fabrics can occur.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
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.
Normal Operating Sounds
A
BC
D
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 flat spot on
the edge of the roller. The noise should dissipate as the
dryer operates and the flat 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint filter after every load.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in
this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.
Operating Your Dryer
(Mesh bag not included.)
1 Prepare load for drying.
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in
the same load.
• Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate
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, button
buttons, fasten hooks
and Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to
prevent snagging and tangling.
2 Check that the lint filter is clean and in place.
3 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 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.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three
similar items to improve tumbling action.
4 Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each
load.
• See
Dryer Operating Instructions on following pages.
5 Start the dryer.
• Close the dryer door. The dryer will not operate with the
door open.
• Press the POWER button to turn on the unit.
• Turn the cycle selector in either direction to scroll to

illuminated. See the “Cycle Selection” section in this
guide for descriptions of each cycle.
• The estimated cycle time, preset drying temperature,
dryness level, and options for each cycle will be indicated
for the cycle displayed. See the “Cycle Settings” and
“Dryer Settings Chart” in this guide for descriptions and
available settings for each cycle.
• To change the settings, press the Temp and Dryness
buttons to scroll to the desired settings.
• To select or deselect an option, press the button for
that option. The indicator will be illuminated when the

SELECTING THE RIGHT CYCLE TO SAVE
ENERGY
This dryer has been specifically designed with options to
help you save energy and at the same time utilize the
optimal drying setting for your clothing.
Some cycles save more energy than others. Cycles that use
the least amount of heat save the most energy. Use the
lowest heat setting (auto and timed dry cycles) and lowest
dryness level (auto dry cycles) to save on energy and
prevent over drying your clothing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
Initial cycle times for Sensor Dry cycles are only estimates.
Actual drying time may be longer or shorter than displayed
time.
Cycle Selection, continued
Sensor Dry Cycles
Sensor Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the
correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars in the
front of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of the load as
it tumbles through the heated air. With Sensor Dry cycles, the
load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to
the desired dryness level.
Sensor 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.
Manual Dry Cycles
Quick Dry
Select this cycle to quickly dry a small load.
Time Dry
To manually select the drying time for any load, scroll
the cycle selector indicator to Time Dry. Drying time
can be adjusted by repeatedly pressing the Time Adjust
button. Drying time will be displayed. Select any drying
temperature. Because this is not a Sensor Dry cycle, you
will not be able to select a dryness level.
Air Fluff
Select this cycle to refresh clothing, stuffed animal, pillows
or blankets, and to dust draperies. No heat will be applied
to the load as it tumbles.
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 min-
utes. If this occurs, then select the Time Dry cycle to dry
such loads.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and
electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time.
Normal
Select this cycle to dry everyday fabrics including cottons,
linens and sheets.
Delicates
Select this cycle to dry knits and delicates.
Active Wear
Select this cycle to dry lightweight, synthetic apparel worn
for working out, running, swimming, cycling, tennis and
similar activities, including stretch fabrics. Fabric softeners
reduce wicking and are not recommended for garments
made to pull moisture away from the body.
Towels
Select this cycle to dry heavy loads such as towels and non-
rubber-backed bath mats.
Sanitize
Recommended for durable fabrics and towels. Use this
cycle to remove harmful bacteria from your clothing or
other items where sanitization is desired.
This option will kill 99.9% of bacteria. A higher temperatures
is required to kill bacteria. Please check fabric care labels to
prevent damage.
Heavy Duty
Select this cycle to dry durable garments - ex. towels,
sports gear, fabric tote bags, jeans, or overalls.
Bulky
Select this cycle to dry bedding and bulky items such as
comforters, blankets, sleeping bags and parkas.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning Instructions
• Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical
power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
• Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer
interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
INSIDE
• Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-up on the fil-
ter 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 replace.
Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.
• If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast
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.
• Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin
fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage
to the floor.
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint filter after every load.
IMPORTANT
Do not store or place laundry products on top of dryer at
any time. They can damage the finish or controls.
WARNING
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 surrounding area.
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property,
comply with the basic warnings listed in the Important
