or any other appliance.
– WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•Do not try to light any appliance.
•Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.

Maintain good air ow by:
n Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
n Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air ow.
n Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system
at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be
sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with
your dryer for nal product check.
n Clear away items from the front the dryer.
Good Air Flow
Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to
efciently dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce
your drying times and improve your energy savings.
See Installation Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a
big role in good air ow.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not
covered by the warranty and will be paid by the customer,
regardless of who installed the dryer.
Check Your Vent System For Good Air Flow

Automatic Cycles
Use Automatic cycles for Better Fabric Care and Energy Savings
Use the Automatic Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Cycles,
drying air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer
shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and could result in
shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying with certain fabrics. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs
a little more drying time, when using the drying rack, or for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, and
heat-sensitive fabrics.
