Dryer Safety

WARNING:

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property

damage.

–

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

or any other appliance.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

–Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or

the gas supplier.

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

•Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's

instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

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 re.

To reduce the risk of re due to contaminated loads, the

nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat

(cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before

the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly

removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Check Your Vent System for Good Air Flow

Good air ow

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.

WARNING

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.

Maintain good air ow:

Good Better

Use ACCUDRY™/Automatic Dry Cycles

for Better Fabric Care and Energy Savings

Use the ACCUDRY™/Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer.

During ACCUDRY™/Automatic Dry cycles, drying air temperature or 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 sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to overdrying.

Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

■Clean 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 ow.

■

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 nal product check.

■Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

Control Panel & Features

WRINKLE SHIELD™ Feature (on some models)

When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the

dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The Wrinkle

Shield™ feature periodically tumbles, rearranges, and uffs

the load to help keep wrinkles from forming.

Dryer Care

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would

block the air ow for proper dryer operation. This includes

clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.

Cleaning the lint screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked

by lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

1. Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint off the

screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen

to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

■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.

■If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,

check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See

“Venting Requirements.”

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 ngers.

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.

Cleaning the dryer interior

To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a liquid, nonammable household cleaner to the

stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until

stain is removed.

2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim

blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the

dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and

will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside

out to avoid drum staining.

Removing accumulated lint
