WORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
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, birth defects or
other
reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure
to four of these substances, namely
benmne,
carbon rnanoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete combustion
of natmd gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can
be

Dryer-applied Fabric Softeners or
Anti-static Conditioners
You may wish to soften your laundered
fabrics or reduce the static electricity in them.
We recommend you use either a fabric softener
in tie wash cycle, according to the manufacturer’s
instructions for those products, or ~ a dryer-added
product for which the manufacturer gives written
assurance on the package that their product can be
safely used in your dryer.
Service or performance problems caused by
the use of these products are the responsibility
of the manufacturers
of those products and are
not covered under the warranty of this appliance.

ENERGY-SAV~G
“ Sort clothes by weight so you won’t have to run an extra cycle for
one or two heavier, slower-drying items.
● Do not overload your dryer. For efficient drying, clothes need
to tumble freely.
● Use Automatic Cycles whenever possible to help prevent overdying
and to save energy.
● Remove garments promptly at the end of the drying cycle and place
on hangers.
● Dry your clothes in consecutive loads. Using a “warm” dryer
will save energy.
● Clean the dryer lint filter each time you dry.
● Clean the dryer exhaust ducting at least once a year. A partially clogged
exhaust can lengthen drying time.

Clean the lint filter each time the dryer is used. Always be sure the lint filter

Sort and Load the Clothes
Good sorting for the dryer begins at the washer. Generally, if clothes are

How to Sort the Clothes section. If you do mix various types of fabrics in

Check ticking for holes or weak seams where feathers or filling could escape.
DRY ONLY ONE PILLOW AT A TIME. Set dryer for maximum time. Stop
dryer occasionally and shake pillow to redistribute filling for more even drying.
Check pillow at end of drying time—if not completely dry, return
pillow to dryer
and reset for more drying time. Feather pillows dry very slowly and must be dried
completely to prevent mildew. DO NOT tumble dry pillows containing kapok.
Put 2 or 4 dry towels into the dryer; tumble dry for 5 minutes. Set timer for
20-25 minutes. DO NOT set control for more than 25 minutes. DRY ONLY
ONE BLANKET AT A TIME. Remove blanket at the end of the cycle and
block the blanket back to its original shape. Allow to dry thoroughly
before storing.
First setting—20 minutes; check and redistribute load. Then set timer for
15 minutes; check load again. Reset timer at 5 minute intervals, checking
after each 5 minutes to make sure that the articles do not fill the dryer drum;
many large articles, when wet, have ample room in the dryer, but as they
dry and fluff up, they may not have room to tumble. CAUTION: If large
items do not have room to tumble, the air flow may be blocked, which
could result in scorching your valuable items. NOTE: Mattress

● Obstruction in exhaust ducting. Make sure ducting is clean and free of
obstruction; make sure damper in outside
wdl cap operates easily. If flexible
ducting is used, be sure it is not kinked and is properly installed according to
the Installation Instructions.
● Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Check household fuses or circuit
breakers. Most electric dryers use two. It is possible for one to be blown or
tripped and the dryer will still tumble without heat.
● Improper sorting. Do not mix heavy, hard-to dry items with lightweight articles,
*Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take a long
time to remove moisture.
● Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not
combine loads.
● Too few items in dryer. If drying ody one article, add two more similar articles,
even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.
● Some fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or washed
by hand and drip dried; others maybe safely washed but will shrink in a dryer.
Follow garment manufacturers’ care labels exactly. If in doubt, do not machine
wash or tumble dry.
● Relaxation shrinkage can occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly
stretched and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment may
be pressed back into shape after each wash and dry cycle.
● Progressive or delayed shrinkage is caused when starch or siting (in some
fabrics) is gradually removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garments
that have been laundered many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for
relaxation shrinkage above.
● Shrinkage caused by overheating occurs in certain knit fabrics that have
been heat-shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the
temperatures used to shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected,
but it can be prevented by washing in cold or warm water; drying on low heat.

“ Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not

● Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two or more similar
articles, even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.
● Improper loads. Avoid laundering heavy permanent press items, such as work
clothes, with lighter permanent press items, such as shirts or blouses. Do not
wash or dry permanent press with regular laundry.
● Too many clothes in washer. Items must have room to move freely. Permanent
press loads should always be smaller than
regulw loads.. .no more than
medium loads.
. Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles. If available, use Permanent Press wash
cycle which provides a cool-down rinse to minimize
writiing. Nso, if
available, use Permanent Press drying cycle.
● Incorrect water level. Use large water level for medium load; medium level
or half full for small load.
● Washing repeatedly in too hot water. Wash in cool or warm water with
plenty of detergent.
● Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use of fabric softener wi~
minimize wrinkling.

● If unsuccessful, retumble on normal temperature for 10—12 minutes

NOTE: If you follow good laundry procedures and permanent press
clothes still come out

permanent press synthetic/cotton blends,
the cotton portion of the fabric can
eventually wear away leaving only the synthetic. Since its the cotton
