1SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONSFORFUTUREREFERENCE

Do not place intoyourdryer itemsthat havebeenspottedor soakedwith vegetable
oil or cookingoil. Even after being washed,these items may contain significant
amountsof these oils. The remaining oil can ignite spontaneously. The potential
for spontaneous ignition increases when the items containing vegetable oil or
cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat sources, such as your clothes dryer, can
warmthese items,allowingan oxidationreaction inthe oilto occur. Oxidationcre-
ates heat. If this heatcannot escape, the itemscan become hot enough to catch
fire. Piling,stacking or storingthese kindsof items may preventheatfrom escap-
ing and can create a fire hazard.
All washed and unwashedfabrics that containvegetable oil or cooking oil can be
dangerous. Washingthese itemsin hotwater with extra detergentwill reduce, but
will not eliminate,the hazard. Always use the"cool down"cyclefor theseitemsto
reduce the items' temperature. Never removethese items from the clothes dryer
hot or interrupt the dryingcycle until the itemshave runthrough the "cool down"
cycle. Never pileor stack these itemswhen they are hot.

LOADTHEDRYERPROPERLY
By placing only one wash load in the
dryer at a time.
Avoid very small loadsor mixing heavy-
weight and lightweightclothes.
When only one or two articles need dry-
ing, add a few similar items to improve
tumbling and drying efficiency.
When drying large, bulky items such as
a blanket or comforter, it may be neces-
sary to reposition the load during the
cycle to ensureeven drying.
ADDAFABRICSOFTEHER
SHEET(IfDESIRED)
• After loadingthe dryer.
•Tocontrol static cling.
• Before the load becomes warm. This
helps prevent greasy-looking softener
stains.
And remove any used softener sheets
from the dryer to prevent greasy-looking
softener stains.

WITH PRESS CARE automaticallysenses the mois-
ture in the load and shuts off when the selected dryness
level is reached. It minimizes wrinkles of synthetic fabrics
such as acrylic, nylon, polyesteror blends by providing an
unheated cool-down period at the end of the cycle. Simply
set the control to the desired dryness level (MORE DRY -
LESS DRY).The line between MORE DRYand LESS DRY
is the initial preferredsettingfor the majorityof loads.
INTELLIDRY REGULARautomatically senses the

It provides 10 minutes of heated tumbling
and 5 minutes of cool down tumbling with-
out heat.
DAMP DRY is designed to "partially"

CHECKTHESEPOtNTS YOURCLOTHESDRYER,..
DOESN'T RUN
• Be surethe door is latched shut.
• Besure the powercord is plugged intoa
live electricaloutlet.
• Check the home's circuit breaker and
fuses.
• Press the Start button again if the door
isopened during the cycle.
DOESN'T HEAT
• Check the home's circuit breaker and
fuses.
• Selecta heat setting, not Air-Fluff.
• On a gas dryer, check that the gas sup-
ply is on.
• Cleanthe lint filter and exhaust duct.
• Dryer timer may have moved into the
cool-down portion of the cycle.
DOESN'T DRY
• Checkall of the above, plus...
• Besure the exhaust hoodat theoutside
of the home can open and close freely.
• Check exhaust system for lint build-up.
Ducting should be inspected and
cleaned annually.
• Use 4" rigid metal exhaust duct.
• Donot overload. 1 Wash load = 1 Dryer
load.
• Sort heavy itemsfrom lightweightitems.
• Large,bulky itemslike blankets or com-
forters may require repositioning to
ensure evendrying.
• Check that the washer is draining prop-
erly to extract adequate water from the
load.
• Clothes load istoo small to tumbleprop-
erly.Add a few towels.
IS NOISY
• Check the load for objects such as
coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove
promptly.
• Itis normaltohear thedryer gasvalveor
heating element cycle on and off during
the drying cycle.
• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as
outlined in the installation manual.
• Be sure the rubber feet are installed on
the levelinglegs.
• A clicking noise may be the timer
advancing.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to
the high velocity of air moving through
the dryer drum and exhaustsystem.
CONTROL KNOB ADVANCES
SLOWLY
• This isnormal operationfor an IntelIiDry
cycle, especiallyat the beginning of the
cycle. Once the load begins to dry, the
control knob will start to advance. The
rate of advancement will be stow at the
beginning of the cycle because there is
more moisture in the load. As the load
becomes more dry,the control knobwill
advance morequickly.
DRIES UNEVENLY
• Seams, pocketsand other similar heavy
areas may not be completely dry when
the rest of the load has reached the
selected dryness level. This is normal.
Select the "More Dry" setting if desired.
• If one heavy item is dried with a light-
weight load, such as one towel with
sheets, it is possible that the heavy item
will notbe completely dry when the rest
of the load has reached the selected
dryness level. Sort heavy items from
lightweight itemsfor best drying results.
HAS AN ODOR
• Householdodors such as from painting,
varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may
enter the dryer with the surrounding
room air. This is normal as the dryer
draws the air from the room, heats it,
pulls it throughthe tumblerand exhausts
it to the outside.When these odors are
present in the air, ventilate the room
completely beforeusing the dryer.

Ne pass_cher d'articles qui ont tremp_ dans de rhuile v_g_tale ou de rhuile de
cuisine ou en sont tach_s. M_me apr_s avoir _t_ laves, ces articles peuvent
encore contenirdes quantit_s non n_gligeablesde ces substances. Uhuile dont
ils sont encoreimbibes peutprendrefeu spontan_ment. Lerisque decombustion
spontan_e de ces articles augmente quand ils sont exposes bla chaleur. Des
sources de chaleur, telles qu'une s_cheuse, peuvent chauffer ces articles et
entrainer une r_action d'oxydation de rhuile. L'oxydationproduit de la chaleur.
Si cette chaleur n'est pas dissip_e, les articles peuvent chauffer suffisamment
pour prendre feu. Le fait d'empiler ou d'entreposer ce type d'articles peut
emp_cherla dissipationde la chaleur et crier ainsi un risqued'incendie.
Tousles articles, lavesou non, quicontiennent de I'huilev_g_tale ou de rhuile de
cuisinesont un danger potentiel. Lefait de les laver_I'eau chaudeavec une plus
grande quantit_ de d_tergent que la normale r_duit les risques mais ne les_lim-
ine pas. Toujoursutiliser le cycle <<cooldowm>(cycle de refroidissement) pour
r_duire la temperature de ce type d'article. Ne jamais retirer ces articles de la
s_cheuse alors qu'ils sont encore chauds ni interrompre le cycle de s_chage
avantque rappareil n'ait effectu_ un cycle de refroidissement. Nejamais empiler
ou entreposer ces articles pendantqu'ils sont encore chauds.
