SAFETY
~STRUCTIONS
Read all imtructions
before wing thk
appliance.
The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of California
to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer
and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure
to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor
exposure to three of these substances,
namely benzene, formaldehyde and
soot, caused primarily by the
incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted
dryers will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized
further by properly venting the
dryers to the outdoors.
W~G–To reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock, or
i~ury
to pemons when using your
apphce, fouow basic precautions,
including the following:
● Use this appliance only for its
intended purpose as described in
this Use and Care Book.
● This dryer must be properly

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
to prevent large amounts of
moisture and lint from being blown
into the room. Carefully follow the
Exhausting Detis in the hstilation
Instructions.
. When disconnecting this
appliance pull by the plug rather
than the cord to avoid damage to the

To minimize the possibility
of a fire hazard.
● Do not use heat to dry articles
containing rubber, plastic, or
similar materials (such as padded
bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath
mab, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic
bags, etc.) as these materi~ may
melt or burn. Also, some rubber
materi~, when hated, can under
certain circumstances produce
fire by spontaneous combustion.

S~ial Instructions
Do not dry non-colorfast items with whites or light-colored items.
Do not overload dryer; clothes should tumble freely. Remove promptly as soon as dryer stops; place clothes on hangers to
minimize wrinUing.
Do not overload dryer; clothes should tumble freely. Remove promptly as soon as dryer stops, place clothes on hangers to
minimize wrinkling.
Dry silks and wools in your dryer
only if recommended by the garment manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully.
Tumble drying is mandatory. Down must be thoroughly dried to remove odor and prevent mildewing. Place two large, dry towels in the
dryer to improve tumbling and shorten drying time. Be sure to dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT. If children’s sleepwear is made of Modacrylic, tumble dry only on Low/Knits. Normal Heat can damage these fabrics.
Check manufacturer’s drying instructions.
See above instructions.
Place in dryer with 3 or 4 dry towels which have been heated for 5 minutes. Set timer for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not set control for more than
25 minutes. Do
only one blanket at a time. Remove blanket at end of cycle and block blanket back to original shape. Press binding with warm
iron. Allow to dry before storing.
Use dry towels as buffers. Set timer for 20 minutes. If items are still wet, reset for 15 minutes and check again. Items should be removed while
still damp. Place slipcovers on furniture immediately. Hang draperies and curtains so that creases will fall out. Stop dryer periodically and check
filter for excess lint. Remove and restart dryer.
Tumble on NO HEAT setting as heat may cause alteration in shape, color and appearance of such articles.
Stop dryer periodically and check filter for excess lint. Remove and restart dryer.
Special precautions must be taken to dry extra-large items. Set dryer for 20 minutes then check carefilly. Set 15 minutes for second setting, check
again; and 5 minutes for each additional setting. Make sure that article does not fill drum. Many large articles, when wet, have ample room in
dryer, but as they dry and fluff up may not have room to tumble. Check carefully every few minutes and if article is still wet or damp and fills
dryer, finish drying on line. Do not, under any circumstances operate dryer for longer times without checking. CAUTION: If large items do not
have room to tumble, the air flow maybe blocked which could result in scorching your valuable items. Many large items, like shag rugs, cannot
be dried in home size dryers. DO
N~tumble dry jackets containing Gpok. (See filter cleaning instructions above.)
Check ticking for
holes or weak seams where feathers or filling could escape. Dry no more than one pillow at a time and set dryer for maximum
time. Stop dryer occasionally and shake pillows to redistribute filling for more even drying. Check pillows at end of drying time. If they are not
completely dry, return them to dryer and reset for more drying time. Feather pillows dry very slowly and must be drid completely to prevent
mildewing. DO N~tumble drypi[lows containing ffipok.
