WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
[] Read all instructions before using the dryer.
[] Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to
a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
[] Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use aplastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent,
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
Good air flow
Along with heat, dryers require good air flow to efficiently
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 flow.
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.
Maintain good air flow by:
[] Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
[] Replace plastic or foil vent material
with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid
vent material.
[] Use the shortest length of vent possible.
[] Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air flow.
........ Bette_
[]
[] Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
[]
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 final product check.
Clear away items from in front of the dryer.
Use Auto cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Auto 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. Use the NORMAL DRY dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.
With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
over-drying. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.
Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer
[] Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton []
garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results
than those without. 100% cotton items may require
additional touching up after the Steam Cycle.
Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with []
Steam Cycles. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
It is not recommended to use Steam Cycles for items that
have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments
prior to using a Steam Cycle.
[]
[]
The Quick Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles
and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to 12
dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend,
common knits, and synthetic garments.
The Enhanced Touch Up Cycle is best for smoothing out
wrinkles from clothes that have been left in the dryer too
long. For best results, do not overload the dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 ram) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
rCLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
To clean dryer drum
1. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low
concentration with very warm water, and rub with
a soft cloth.
2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum
OR
Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle
to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as
denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may
discolor the rear of the dryer interior. These stains are
not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads
of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to avoid
transfer of dye.
rREMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done
by a qualified servicer or ventilation system cleaner.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
12

CLEANING THE LiNT SCREEN
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.
A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen
with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove
lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
iMPORTANT:
m 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.
m if lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See
"Venting Requirements" in the installation instructions.
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build
up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying
times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before
your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged
if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,
or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.
Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue
buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.
Reinstall screen in dryer.
NON=USE, STORAGE, AND MOVING CARE
install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because
some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage
your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing
weather, winterize it.
Non=Use or Storage Care
Operate your dryer only when you are at home. Ifyou will
be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended
period of time, you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See "Cleaning the Lint Screen."
3. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to
avoid unintended flooding (due to a water pressure
surge) while you are away.
Moving Care
For power supply cord=connected dryers:
1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Gas models only: Close shutoff valve in gas supply line.
3. Gas models only: Disconnect gas supply line pipe and
remove fittings attached to dryer pipe.
4. Gas models only: Cap the open fuel supply line.
5. Steam models only: Shut off water faucet.
6. Disconnect the water inlet hose from faucet, then drain
the hose. Transport hose separately.
7. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
8. Use tape to secure dryer door.
e
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
For direct=wired dryers:
1. Disconnect power.
2. Disconnect wiring.
3. Steam models only: Shut off water faucet.
4. Steam models only: Disconnect the water inlet hose from
faucet, then drain the hose. Transport hose separately.
5. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
