manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY
plastics or articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubberlike materials.
12. Always clean the lint filter after every load. A
layer of lint in the filter reduces drying
efficiency and prolongs drying time.
13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding area free from the
accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
14. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust
duct should be cleaned periodically by
qualified service personnel.
15. This gas appliance contains or produces a

Before Drying
Energy Saving Tips
•Make sure the lint filter is always clean.
•Do not overload the dryer.
•Do not overdry items.
•Remove items to be ironed while still damp.
•Large loads of similar fabrics dry the most
efficiently. However, dry permanent press in
smaller loads to prevent wrinkling.
•Use the correct cycle for the type of fabric
being dried.
•Locate your dryer so the exhaust duct is as
short and straight as possible.
•Do not open the door during the drying cycle.
•Plan to do your laundry on low humidity days;
your clothes will dry faster.
•Dry multiple loads of clothes one right after
another so dryer interior does not have to be
reheated for each load.
Helps and Hints
•The directions for installation and proper
exhausting are given in the Installation
Instructions which are included with the
dryer.
•Static electricity may cause garments of
synthetic fibers (as in lingerie) to cling
together, especially if they are overdried. The
use of a liquid fabric softener in the rinse
water of the washer, or a fabric softener
sheet in the dryer, will soften clothes and
reduce static electricity.
•Do not wash or dry clothes that shed lint in
the same load with permanent press or knit
garments.
•Remove permanent press loads immediately
after dryer stops.
•Follow the care labels on FLAME
RETARDANT, SCOTCH- GUARD™, etc.,
garments for the proper washing and drying.
•If loads should be damp for ironing, turn
timer knob to the ENERGY SAVER setting,
marked with an asterisk (*), in AUTOMATIC or
TIME DRY cycles.
Sort
If you have correctly sorted the items for
washing, they should be properly sorted for drying
too.
1. Sort by color.
2. Separate lint shedding fabrics and lint
receiving fabrics.
Towels, flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs, etc., shed
lint. Corduroys, knits (including socks), permanent
press, and synthetics attract lint.
3. Separate no heat, low heat and high heat
items.
In any kind of drying, lightweight fabrics will dry
faster than heavyweight fabrics. If mixed loads
are dried together (such as sheets and towels),
remove the lighter weight fabrics when they are
dry to prevent overdrying and wrinkling. The best
method is to dry clothes which require the same
time and temperature in the same load.

Load
•Do not overload your dryer. Bulk, not weight,
determines the load size. If the dryer is
overloaded, it could cause discoloration or
permanent heat damage to the load.
•There should be space in the dryer for the
clothes to tumble freely and help to reduce
wrinkles.
•Large and small pieces together make up
loads which will tumble well. Permanent press
loads should be smaller to provide room for
tumbling. Proper tumbling allows for fewer
wrinkles.
•A load can be too small. Just a few small
pieces will not tumble properly. They will take
longer to dry and they may be wrinkled. For
small loads, add a couple of large towels or
non lint shedding items to aid in tumbling.
•The following illustrations show the ideal load
sizes for fabrics. The average load will fill the
cylinder one third to half full when wet.
Do not wash or dry items soiled with
vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils
may remain after washing and may
cause the fabric to catch on fire by
itself.

Operating Your Dryer
Available Drying Cycles
NOTE: Use the automatic cycles for drying
items that can be dried with heat. These cycles
automatically dry loads to the dryness level
selected.
MAX DRY will dry very small loads and some heavy
items, such as blue jeans, but will overdry
lightweight items, such as sheets and shirts.
Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinking,
excessive lint conditions, and will use more energy
than necessary.
MORE DRY will dry medium sized loads.
LESS DRY, which uses the least energy, will dry
large loads and lightweight items, such as sheets
and shirts, but might leave other items, such as
denim and heavy bath towels, more damp.
To increase energy savings and to make sure
loads are dried without overdrying, set your loads
on LESS DRY. If items are damp at the end of a
cycle, the timer knob needs to be set closer to
the MORE DRY setting the next time these loads
are dried. If items are overdry at the end of a
cycle, the timer knob should be set closer to
COOL DOWN or COOL TUMBLE when these loads
are dried again. Remember the settings that work
best to get ideal drying results.
The COOL DOWN and COOL TUMBLE period at the
end of each cycle provides items a chance to
tumble with no heat and cool down to room
temperature. This prevents wrinkles from setting
if items cannot be cared for immediately.
NOTE: The timer knob will not advance as quickly
in the AUTOMATIC cycles as it does in the TIME
DRY cycle. The time it takes for the timer to
advance depends on the type and size of the
load being dried.
The ENERGY SAVER settings, marked with an
asterisk (∗), show which settings will use the
least energy and will leave items damp for easier
ironing.
Automatic Regular/Delicate Cycle
Use for sturdy items like play or work clothes and
also for delicate items. The type of heat is
determined by choosing the proper Fabric
Selector option. There are three settings in the
AUTOMATIC REGULAR/DELICATE cycle — MAX
D RY, M O R E D RY, a n d L E S S D R Y.
Time Dry Cycle
This cycle will operate dryer for up to 75 minutes.
Cottons and heavyweight items dry best between
50 and 75 minutes, and lightweight items dry
best between 20 and 40 minutes.
Automatic Wrinkle Out Cycle
(available on select models only)
Use this for items that are slightly wrinkled after
sitting in a dryer or laundry basket overnight. The
cycle has a short heat setting followed by a five
minute COOL DOWN.
Automatic Permanent Press/Knits Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics.
The type of heat is determined by selecting the
proper Fabric Selector option. There are two
settings in the AUTOMATIC
PERMANENT PRESS/
KNITS cycle — MORE
DRY and LESS DRY.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, serious injury or death to
persons, read the Safety Information
section before operating the dryer.

Troubleshooting
Try these troubleshooting tips before making a
service call – You may save time and money!
Dryer Symptom Possible Cause/Solution
Dryer won’t start • For dryers equipped with a power cord, make sure the power cord is plugged all
the way into the electrical outlet.
• Make sure loading door is closed.
• Push timer knob in to start dryer.
• Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn’t blown or loose, or circuit breakers
aren’t open. The dryer itself does not have an electrical fuse. An electric dryer
has an electrical circuit with two fuses.

Dryer won’t heat • Make sure timer is not in COOL DOWN, COOL TUMBLE or EXTENDED TUMBLE
settings or that Fabric Selector is not set at NO HEAT.
• Electric dryers only – Some homes may have two fuses or circuit breakers for an
electric dryer; both fuses or circuit breakers should be checked. Make sure the
laundry room fuse(s) isn’t blown or loose, or that the circuit breakers aren’t
open. The electric dryer itself does not have an electrical fuse.
• Gas dryer only – Make sure equipment and main gas line valve is turned on.
• Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or needs cleaning.
• Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not been pushed in or
has not been blocked.
Dryer doesn’t dry clothes
satisfactorily
• Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or needs cleaning.
• Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not been pushed in or
has not been blocked.
• Automatic cycle – Adjust to MAX, MORE or LESS DRY setting.
• Timed cycle – Allow more or less time.
• Clean the lint filter.
• Make sure the load isn’t too small. Small loads may not tumble properly or dry
evenly.
• Check load being dried. Heavy items dried with lightweight items will not dry as
quickly as the rest of the load. Refer to Sort section for proper sorting
information.
Dryer is noisy • Check dryer for foreign objects (nails, coins, bobby pins, metal, plastic toys, etc.).
Remove items from dryer.
• Make sure dryer is level. Uneven leveling can cause vibration.
• Normal operating sounds include the tick of timer advancing, heat source going
on and off, and humming of air moving through the dryer and exhaust system.
Cycle advances too slowly • Automatic cycles advance slower than the Time Dry cycle. When in an Automatic
cycle, the time it takes for the timer to advance depends on the type and size of
the load being dried. When clothing has more moisture, the timer advances
slower than when the clothes are more dry.
Clothes are too wrinkled • Check heat setting. Overdrying can cause wrinkling.
• Check load size. Large loads may not tumble properly and may cause wrinkling.
Clothes have odor • Check room for odors before drying clothes. Any odor (fried foods, paint, varnish,
cleaners, burning wood, etc.) will transfer to clothing as the dryer draws air from
the room. Ventilate room before drying clothes.
