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-cleaning

solvents, other flammable, or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

•Do not allow children to play on or in

the dryer. Close supervision of children

is necessary when the dryer is used

near children.

•Before the dryer is removed from service

or discarded, remove the door to the

drying compartment.

•Do not reach into the dryer if the drum

is moving.

•Do not install or store the dryer where

it will be exposed to the weather.

•Do not tamper with controls.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•Do not repair or replace any part of the

dryer or attempt any servicing unless

specifically recommended in this Use and

Care Guide or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and

have the skills to carry out.

•Do not use fabric softeners or products

to eliminate static unless recommended

by the manufacturer of the fabric softener

or product.

•Do not use heat to dry articles containing

foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-

like materials.

•Clean lint screen before or after each

CHECKING YOUR VENT

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 installation, call

the company that installed the vent for adjustment.

1. Do not use plastic vent or flexible metal foil vent.

Use 4-inch heavy metal

or flexible metal 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.

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-inch exhaust hood. Smaller hoods

increase drying times.

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.

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

shorten drying times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your

Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Install

your dryer in a well-ventilated room where the temperature is always above 45ºF. Also make

sure that your dryer is leveled. Refer to your installation Instructions for more

information.

CHECKING YOUR VENT

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.

4. Use the straightest path possible when routing

the exhaust vent. Use

the fewest number of

elbows and turns. 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.

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

recommended cycle for

the type of load being

dried, as described on

pages 10-12.

•Use the Energy

Preferred Automatic

Setting (*) to dry most

heavyweight and

mediumweight loads.

•On some models,

the Temperature

selector is part of the Cycle Control knob.

3. On models with a separate Fabric/Temp selector,

choose the recommen-

ded setting for the type

of fabric being dried.

The cycle descriptions

on pages 10-12 include

temperature setting

suggestions.

USING YOUR DRYER

wWARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors,

such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Do not dry anything that has ever had

anything flammable on it (even after

washing).

Failure to follow these instructions can

result in death, explosion, or fire.

wWARNING

Fire Hazard

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any

type of oil on it (including cooking oils).

Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic

must be dried on a clothesline or by using an

Air Cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result

in death or fire.

STARTING YOUR DRYER

4. (OPTIONAL STEP) On some models, the End of

Cycle Signal selector is

part of the Start button.

Set the End of Cycle

Signal selector to On if

you want the dryer to

sound a signal when a

cycle is finished. 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.)

USING 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 tempera-

ture (if desired), and push the Start button.

SELECTING A 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

•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

have more than one suggested temperature set-

ting, 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

•Make sure you have selected the correct cycle

and temperature for your load.

•Always follow care label directions when they are

available.

•Always use fabric softener sheets 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.

5. Push the Start button.

NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when a

cycle ends.

cycle for drying heavyweight and mediumweight:

•Cotton items, such as towels, linens, bedspreads,

work clothes, blue jeans, and corduroys.

•Permanent Press, synthetics, and blends, such

as jackets, shirts, slacks, and play clothes.

slacks, and shirts.

Timed Dry cycles

Use one of the Timed Dry cycles to complete dry-

ing if some items are damp after Auto Sense

Drying. The high heat and low heat Timed Dry

cycles are also useful for:

•Heavyweight and bulky items, such as bed-

spreads and work clothes, and large loads that

require a long drying time. Set your Cycle

Control knob to High heat for 50-70 minutes.

(Reset knob as necessary for the time required.)

•Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and

knits that require a short drying time. Set your

Cycle Control knob to Low heat for 20-30

minutes.

No Heat Fluff

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.
