Regular Cycle(s)
Dry most loads using the Energy
Preferred Automatic Setting (*). Your
Automatic cycle(s) shuts off when the se-
lected dryness is reached. The Cycle Control
Knob will not move until the load is almost
dry. After the cool-down, the Knob automati-
tally turns to an OFF area and tumbling
stops.

Timed Cycle(s)
Use a Timed cycle to complete drying if
some items are damp after Automatic dry-
ing. Timed drying is also useful for:
l Delicate items and small loads that need
a short drying time.
l Bulky items and large loads that require
a long drying time.
Air Cycle
The Air cycle has no heat. Use this un-
heated cycle to fluff or air dry bedding,
plastic tablecloths, foam pillows, sneakers,
etc. See page 9 for more information about
the Air cycle.
Fire Hazard
Do not dry heat-sensitive fabrics, plastic,
rubber, or some stuffed items with heat.
Use the Fluff Air cycle, if available, or
dry these items on a line or rack.
Failure to do so could result in fire or
damaged items.

Caring for Your Dryer
Proper care of your dryer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for your dryer
properly and safely.
Cleaning the lint screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located inside the dryer
drum, on the back wall. Clean it before
each load. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Open the door and pull the lint screen
straight out.
ody of lint screen lightly while
pulling the cover off.
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergents and fabric softeners can
cause a residue buildup on the lint screen.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush
every six months or more frequently if it
becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
Use the following method:
1. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot
water. n brush with hot water and
liquid detergent; scrub lint
screen with the brush to
remove residue buildup.
3. Rinse screen with hot water.
4. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean
towel: replace in drver.
.
3. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash screen to remove
lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
4. Replace cover on lint screen body. Push
the lint screen firmly back into place and
close the door.
IMPORTANT:
l Do not run the dryer with the lint screen
loose, damaged, blocked, or missing.
Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
l Some towels made of synthetic fibers and
natural fibers (polyester and cotton blends)
may shed more lint than other towels,
causing your dryer’s lint screen to fill up
faster. Be sure to remove lint from the lint
screen before and after drying new towels.
10

Cleaning the dryer interior
Garments which contain unstable dyes,
such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored
cotton items, may discolor the dryer interior.
To clean dryer drum:
1. Make a paste with detergent and very
warm water.
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth and scrub area
until all excess dye is removed.
Explosion Hazard
Turn off the electrical power before
cleaning the dryer interior.
Make sure the dryer is cool.
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so could result in explo-
sion, fire, electrical shock, or injury.
3. Wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of rags to dry.
11

Removing accumulated lint
Lint can gather inside the dryer and be a fuel
for fire. Lint should be removed every two to
three years, or more often, depending on
dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a
qualified person. If you have any questions
or comments, please call our Consumer
Assistance Center at 1-800-253-l 301.
For all electric dryers, or gas dryers
1. Unplug the power supply cord or turn off
the electrical power.
2. Electric dryers:
Remove back panel using a hex-head
screwdriver (l/4 inch).
Gas dryers:
Pry off lower front access panel using a
flat-blade screwdriver.
3. Remove lint from shaded area in illustra-
tion with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
Avoid damaging wires, thermostats
(electric), funnel (gas), or ignitor (gas).
4. Replace panel.
5. Reconnect and level dryer again, if
necessary.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Unplug the power supply cord or turn
off the electrical power before removing
dryer panels.
Make sure the dryer is cool.
Dryer parts can have sharp edges.
Use care when handling.
When replacing front panel after lint
removal, the wire clips holding the
door switch wires must be anchored
to top of front and side panels. Wires
MUST NOT touch rotating drum.
Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock or personal injury.

Laundry Tips
This section provides information on preparing clothes for drying, drying guidelines, and
instructions for drying special-care items.
NOTES:
l Refer to your Washer Use and Care Guide for proper washing techniques and additional
laundry tips.
l See pages 3 and 4 of this book for Important Safety Information.
Sorting clothes
l Separate dark from light colors; colorfast
a
hii
from non-colorfast. Items
properly sorted for washing
are usually properly sorted
for drying.
l Separate lint givers (towels, chenille) from
lint takers (corduroy, synthetics, perma-
nent press). When possible, turn lint takers
inside out.
l Separate heavy fabrics (denim, towels)
from light fabrics (synthetics, permanent
press).
Choosing load sizes
l Mix large items with smaller items. Load
the dryer by the amount of
space items take up, not by
their weight. Do not overload
the dryer. Overcrowding
causes uneven drying and

only a few small items, add one or two
lint-free towels. This also prevents small,
lightweight items from blocking airflow.
wrinkling, and can cause items to wear out
faster (because of pilling).
l You may need to rearrange large items
(sheets, blankets, tablecloths) during a
cycle to reduce balling or rolling up.
Drying tips
l Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid
snagging other items. Remove
heat-sensitive trim that can be
damaged by drying. Tie strings
and sashes so they will not
tangle.
l Check garments to make sure all spots
and stains were removed during the wash.
Do not tumble dry soiled or stained items.
Heat may permanently set stains.
l Sharp or metal objects can damage your
dryer. Check pockets for pins,
clips, money, bolts, nuts, etc.
Do not lay these objects on
your dryer after emptying
pockets. Turn pockets of
heavy items inside out for even drying.
l Place small items such as baby socks or
hankies in a mesh bag for easier removal.
l Articles to be ironed should be removed
from the dryer while still damp.
