NOTICE
The California Safe
Dritig
Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires
tie
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
minimizd further by properly venting the dryers
to the outdoors.

Dryer-applied Fabric Softeners or

You may wish to soften your laundered
fabrics or reduce the static electricity in them.
We recommend 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.
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.

●
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.
●
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.

Instructions section.
How to Load Your Dryer
For best results, dry only articles of the same or similar type fabric in a single
load. Never overload the dryer. The drum should be no more than 1/2 full of
wet articles. Overloading prolongs drying time and produces uneven drying.

●
Keep the floor around your
appliances clean and dry to
reduce the possibility of slipping.
Dryer
If your dryer is exhausted to the outside, inspect and
clean the dryer exhaust
ducting
at least once a year.
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. When the
dryer is not exhausted to the outside, this lint is more
apt to accumulate in and near the dryer, which could
create a fire
hmard.
How to reduce the possibility of a fire hazard, if
your dryer (gas dryers must be exhausted outside)
is not exhausted to the outside:
●
Clean the lint filter before every load. See How to
Operate Your Dryer section.
Lint can gather inside the dryer and create a
FIRE
HAZARD. This lint should be removed at least
every 2 or 3 years, or more often, depending on
dryer usage.
AElectrical Shock and Personal Injury
Hazard
● Unplug the power supply cord or turn off the
electrical power.
. Do not put hands inside the cabinet.
● Make sure the dryer is cool.
“
More than one person is required to lift, tilt
or move the washer/dryer because of its weight
and size.
Failure to do so could result in electrical shock,
injury or damage.
Cleaning should be done
ody
by a qualified
person.
1.
Unplug unit from electrical supply or turn off
electrical power.
2. Remove back panel from dryer. (See Installation
Instructions.)
3. Avoid touching wires and thermostats.
4. Remove lint from boxed-in area with a soft brush
or vacuum cleaner.
5.
Replace back panel, reconnect and level the
appliance.

●
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 only one article, add two more similar articles,
even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.
●
When dryer is operating on a 120-volt circuit, longer drying times are
no-.
The drying on this circuit takes about three times as long as on a
240-volt circuit.
●
Excessively wet clothes. Check washer; it may be malfunctioning.

-mING
IN
PERMANENT PRESS
AND “NO-IRON” ITEMS
POSSIBLE CAUSE
●
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.
c
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 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.
●
Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops. Remove clothes promptly and
hang them immediately.
●
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 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.
Perrnan
ent
press loads should always be smaller than regular 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
wrinMing.
Also, if
available, use Permanent Press drying cycle.
●
Incorrect water level. Use large water level for
medum
load; medium level
or
half full for small load.
o
Washing repeatedly in too hot water. Wash in cool or warm water with
plenty of detergent.
●
Accumulation of lime scale due to use of carbonate detergents.
