GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DRYER

The parts and features of your dryer are illustrated on this page. Become familiar with all parts and

features before using your dryer. Page references are included next to some features. Refer to

those pages for more information about the features.

NOTE: The drawings in this book may vary from your dryer model. They are designed to show the

different features of all models covered by this book. Your model may not include all features.

CHECKING YOUR VENT

Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and

shorten drying times. Install your dryer in a well-ventilated room where the temperature is always

above 45°F (7°C). Also make sure that your dryer is leveled. Refer to your Installation Instructions

for more information.

VENTING

wWARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can

result in death or fire.

3. The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left,

right, or straight out the

back of the dryer. Space

requirements are listed

in your Installation

Instructions.

2. Use a 4" exhaust hood. Smaller hoods increase

drying times.

If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it

will not be covered under the warranty.

NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting

will be paid for by the customer, whether it was a

paid installation or self-installed. For paid installa-

tion, call the company that installed the vent for

adjustment.

1. Four-inch heavy metal or flexible metal vent must

be used. Do not use

plastic vent or flexible

metal foil vent. Do not

kink or crush flexible

metal vent. It must be

completely extended to

allow adequate exhaust

air to flow. Check vent

after installation. Refer

to your Installation

Instructions for proper

length requirements of vent.

VENTING (CONT.)

6. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use,

but at least every 2 years,

or when installing your

dryer in a new location.

•Disconnect vent from

the dryer and clean one

section at a time until

you reach the exhaust

hood.

•Use the hose attach-

ment on your vacuum,

or a pole or wire with a

feather duster or rag attached, to clean out lint.

•Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent

moves freely.

•When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the

Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer

for final product check.

CHECKING YOUR VENT

4. Use the straightest path possible when routing

the exhaust vent. Avoid

90° turns, if possible.

Allow room when using

elbows or making turns.

Bend vent gradually to

avoid kinking.

5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use

screws to secure vent.

Lint may catch on

screws.

wWARNING

Explosion Hazard

Never place items in the dryer that

are dampened with gasoline or other

flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any

type of oil on it (including cooking oils).

Doing so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

3. If your dryer has a separate Temperature

selector, set it to the

recommended setting

for the type of fabric

being dried. The cycle

descriptions on

pages 10 and 11

include temperature

setting suggestions.

OPERATING YOURDRYER

To get the best dryer results possible, you must use your dryer correctly. This section tells you how

to use your dryer properly and efficiently.

STARTING YOUR DRYER

Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a

damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping.

1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the

door. Do not pack the

dryer; allow space for

clothes to tumble freely.

2. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the recommen-

ded cycle for the type

of load being dried,

as described on

pages 10 and 11.

•Use the Energy

Preferred Automatic

Setting (*) to dry most

loads.

•On some models, the

Temperature selector

is part of the Cycle

Control Knob.

5. Push the Start Button.

NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when a

cycle ends.

4. (OPTIONAL STEP) If your dryer has an End of

Cycle Signal selector, set the selector to On if

you want the dryer to sound a signal when a

cycle is finished.

•The End of Cycle Signal is part of the Start

Button.

•The signal is helpful when you are drying

permanent press, synthetics, and other items

that should be removed from the dryer as soon

as it stops.

STARTING YOUR DRYER (CONT.)

OPERATING YOUR DRYER

Stopping and restarting your dryer

You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.

To stop your dryer:

Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control Knob

to Off.

NOTE: The Cycle Control Knob should point to an

Off area when the dryer is not in use.

To restart your dryer:

Close the door, select a new cycle and temperature

(if desired), and push the Start Button.

SELECTING THE RIGHT CYCLE AND TEMPERATURE SETTING

The following pages describe the drying cycles

on your dryer. The descriptions include suggested

temperature settings and drying times for various

loads.

Cycle and temperature tips

•Make sure you have selected the correct cycle

and temperature for your load.

•Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred

Automatic Setting (*).

•Use the No Heat/Fluff cycle, or line dry rubber,

plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive fabrics

(see page 12).

•If some types of loads in the cycle descriptions

on the following pages have more than one

suggested temperature setting, choose the

lowest setting available on your dryer.

•The last few minutes of all cycles are without

heat to make the load cooler to handle.

Drying tips

•Always follow care label directions when they are

available.

•If you use fabric softener sheets, always use

softener sheets that are labeled as dryer safe

and follow package instructions carefully.

•Remove the load from the dryer as soon as

tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is

especially important for permanent press, knits,

and synthetic fabrics.

OPERATING YOUR DRYER

CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS

Automatic cycle(s)

Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads. The

Automatic cycle shuts

off the dryer when the

selected dryness is

reached. The Cycle

Control Knob does not

move until the load is

almost dry. After the

cool-down, the Knob

automatically turns to

an Off area and tum-

bling stops.

•If the load is drier than you like, select a setting

closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a

similar load.

•If the load is not as dry as you like, complete

drying using a Timed cycle. Select a setting

closer to Very Dry the next time you dry a

similar load.

Drying time with an Automatic cycle varies accord-

ing to the type of fabric, size of load, and dryness

setting. Your model may not have all heat settings

listed. Some general guidelines are:

•Use a high heat setting for drying heavyweight

items, such as towels and work clothes.

•Use a medium heat setting for drying

mediumweight items, such as sheets, underwear,

permanent press clothes, and some knits.

•Use a low heat setting for drying lightweight

items such as lingerie, blouses, dresses, and

some knits.

NOTE: If you have any questions about drying

temperatures for various loads, refer to care label

directions.

VERY DRY

LESS DRY

COOL DOWN

Timed cycle(s)

Use a Timed cycles to complete drying if some

items are damp after

the Automatic cycle.

The Timed cycle is also

useful for:

•Heavyweight and

bulky items, such as

bedspreads and work

clothes, and large loads

that require a long drying

time. Set your dryer for

High heat.

•Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and

knits that require a short drying time. Set your

dryer for Low heat.

•Drying time and temperature will depend on your

dryer model.

No Heat/Fluff cycle

(on some models)

Use the unheated No Heat/Fluff cycle for items that

require drying without

heat. The chart on page

12 includes examples of

items that require drying

without heat.

NOTE: If your model

does not have the No

Heat/Fluff cycle, line dry

heat-sensitive items.

Damp Dry feature

(on some models)

Use the Damp Dry feature in the Timed cycle to dry

items to damp level or

to dry items that do not

require an entire drying

cycle. Two examples are

heavy cottons, such as

jeans, which you do not

want to become stiff, or

cotton clothes which are

easier to press when

damp. Set the Tempera-

ture selector to High heat.
