IMPORTANT
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 benzene, carbon monoxide,
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~ING—To reduee the risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using your
apptice, fo~ow 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
installed and located in
accordance with the Instigation
Instructions before it is used.
If
you did not receive an Installation
Instructions sheet with your dryer,
you can obtain one by contacting
the service location nearest you.
—Properly ground to conform
with all governing codes and
ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.
—Locate where the temperature
is above 50°F. (lO°C.) for
satisfactory operation of the
dryer control system. Do not
install or store the dryer where it
will be exposed to the weather.
—Connect to a properly rated,
protected and sized power-supply
circuit to avoid electrical overload.
—Exhausting to the outside is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
to prevent large amounts of
moisture and lint from being blown
into the room. Carefully follow the
Exhausting Detis in the hstiation
Instructions.
● When disconnecting this
appliance pull by the plug rather
than the cord to avoid damage to
the cord or junction of cord and
plug. Make sure that the cord is
located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
● Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this Use and
Care Book or in published user-
repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to
carry out.
To minimize the possibility
of a fire h~rd.
. Do not use heat to dry articles
containing rubber, plastic, or
similar materials (such as padded
bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath
mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic
bags, etc.) as these materi~ may
melt or burn. Also, some rubber
materbds, when heated, can under
certain circumstances produce
fire by spontaneous combustion.
● Garments labeled “Dry Away
From Heat” (such as life jackets
containing Kapok) must not be put
in your dryer.
● Do not wash or dry articles
that have been cleaned in, washed
in, soaked in, or spotted with
combustible or explosive substances
(such as wax, paint, gasoline,
degreasers, dry+leaning
solvents, kerosene, etc.) which
may ignite or explode. Do not use
or store such substances on/or
around your washer and/or dryer
during operation.
Q Any article on which you have
used a cleaning solvent, or which
contains flammable materials (such
as cleaning cloths, mops,
towels used in beauty salons,
restaurants or barber shops, etc.)
must not be placed in or near the
dryer until all traces of these
flammable liquids or solids and
their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly flammable
items used in homes such as:
acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some
household cleaners, some spot
removers, turpentines, waxes, wax
removers and products containing
petroleum distillates.
● Clean the lint filter before each
load to prevent lint accumulation
inside the dryer or in the room.
DO NOT OPERATE THE
DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT
FILTER IN PLACE.
● Keep area around and
underneath your appliance free
from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as
lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
. Do not store items that may burn
or melt (such as clothing, paper
material, plastics or plastic
containers, etc. ) on top of the dryer
during operation.
● The interior of the machine
and the exhaust duct connection
inside the dryer should be
cleaned periodically by a
qualified individual.
● Exhaust duct (see installation
instructions). Use only metal
duct inside dryer or for
exhausting dryer to the outside.

children,
”pref;rably in a locked
cabinet. Observe
dl warnings on
container labels to avoid
pcrsond
injury.
● Keep the floor around your
appliances clean and dry to reduce
the possibility of slipping.
c Do not dry fiberglass articles in
your dryer. Skin irritation could
result from the remaining glass
particles that may be picked up
by clothing during subsequent
dryer uses.
● The laundry process can reduce
the flame
retardancy of fabrics. To
avoid such a result, the garment
manufacturer’s care instructions
should be followed very carefully.
● Never climb on or stand on the
dryer top or door.
● Do not tamper with controls.
● To minimize the possibility
of electric shock, unplug this
appliance from the power supply

Dryer-apptied fabric
softeners or anti-static
conditioners
You may wish to soften your
laundered fabrics or reduce the
static electricity in them. We
reeommend you use either a
fabric softener in the wash cycle,
according to the manufacturer’s
instructions for those products, or
try a dryer-added product for
which the manufacturer gives
written assurance on the package
that their product can be safely
used in your dryer.

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 temperature. Normal heat temperature 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 dry on FLUFF (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.
Specialprecaufions must be taken to dry extra-large items. Set dryer for 20minufes fhen check carefilly Set 15 minutes for second setting, check
again; and 5 minutes for each additional setting. Make sure that article does
nor 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 NW fumble dry jackets containing
tipok. (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 dried completely to prevent
mildewing. DO NWtumble d~pillows containing &pok.

PROBLEM POSS~LECAUSE AND RE~DY
SHWNKAGE,
● Relaxation shinkage can occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched
KNITS and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment maybe pressed back into
shape
afier each wash and dry cycle.
● Progressive or delayed shrinkage is caused when starch or sizing (in some fabrics) is
gradudly removed by laundering, Maybe noticed in older garments that have been
Iaundeti -y times without previous s-. ht as for Rektion S-e above.
c Shtinkage mused by overheating occurs in certain knit tibrics that have been heat-
shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures excdthe 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.

AND “NO-IRON”
ITEMS
● Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads,
* Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two or more similar articles, even
ifd~, 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 smdier than regular loads.. .no more than medium loads.
c Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles. Use Permanent Press Wash Cycle which provides
a cool-down rinse to minimize
wrintiing. Also, use Permanent Press Dry Cycle.
. Incorrect wa&r level. Use Full Water Fill forme~um load; Medium Fill fir small

ITEMS (continued)
● Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use of fabric softener will minimize wrin~ing.
To remove wrin~es:
o Retumble on “Permanent Press” setting.
● Rerinse and dry on “Permanent Press” setting.
. If unsuccessful, retumble on normal heat for 10-12 minutes and hang immediately.
● Iron carefully.
● Send to dry cleaners for pressing.
● Some wrinties may remain which cannot be removed:

:
If
you
follow good laundry procedures and Permanent Press clothes still come
out wrirdded, the finish may not be good quality. Also, impermanent press synthetic/
cotton blends, the cotton portion of the fabric can eventually wear away leaving only the
synthetic. Since it’s the cotton portion which is treated for Permanent Press, a loss or
