WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious in-

jury or death to persons when using your dryer, fol-

low these basic precautions:

W130

• Read all instructions before using the dryer.

• Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLA-

TION manual for the proper grounding of the dryer.

• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,

soaked in, washed in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-clean-

ing solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as

they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Highly

flammable substances commonly used in domestic envi-

ronments including acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/

gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpen-

tine, waxes and wax removers. This appliance shall not be

used to dry off solvents or dry-cleaning fluids.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the unit. This appli-

ance is not intended for use by young children or infirm per-

sons without supervision. Young children should be super-

vised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, re-

move the door to the drying compartment.

• Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.

• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to

water and/or weather.

• Do not tamper with the controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt

any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-

maintenance instructions or in published user-repair in-

structions 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 product.

• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles

containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or simi-

larly textured rubberlike materials. Foam rubber materials

can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combus-

tion.

• Always clean the filter after every load. A layer of lint in the

filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.

• Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent sur-

rounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and

dirt.

• The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct should be

cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

Before Drying

Energy Saving Tips

• Make sure the lint filter is always clean.

• Do not overload the dryer.

• Do not overdry items.

• Remove items to be ironed while still damp.

• Large loads of similar fabrics dry the most efficiently. How-

ever, dry permanent press in smaller loads to prevent wrin-

kling.

• Use the correct cycle for the type of fabric being dried.

• Locate your dryer so the exhaust duct is as short and

straight as possible.

• Do not open the door during the drying cycle.

• Plan to do your laundry on low humidity days; your clothes

will dry faster.

• Dry multiple loads of clothes one right after another so dry-

er interior does not have to be reheated for each load.

Helps and Hints

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, serious injury or

death, clothes which have traces of any flammable

substances such as cooking oil, machine oil, flam-

mable chemicals, thinner, etc. must not be put into

the dryer.

W131

• The directions for installation and proper exhausting are

given in the Installation Instructions which are included

with the dryer.

• Static electricity may cause garments of synthetic fibers (as

in lingerie) to cling together, especially if they are overdried.

The use of a liquid fabric softener in the rinse water of the

washer, or a fabric softener sheet in the dryer, will soften

clothes and reduce static electricity.

• Do not wash or dry clothes that shed lint in the same load

with permanent press or knit garments.

• Remove permanent press loads immediately after dryer

stops.

• Follow the care labels on FLAME RETARDANT, SCOTCH-

GUARD™, etc., garments for proper washing and drying.

• If loads should be damp for ironing, use the Damp Dryness

setting, in an Automatic cycle.

Sort

If you have correctly sorted the items for washing, they should

be properly sorted for drying too.

1. Sort by color.

2. Separate lint shedding fabrics and lint receiving fabrics.

Towels, flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs, etc., shed lint. Cor-

duroys, knits (including socks), permanent press, and syn-

thetics attract lint.

3. Separate no heat, low heat and high heat items.

In any kind of drying, lightweight fabrics will dry faster than

heavyweight fabrics. If mixed loads are dried together (such as

sheets and towels), remove the lighter weight fabrics when

they are dry to prevent overdrying and wrinkling. The best

method is to dry clothes which require the same time, temper-

ature or dryness level in the same load.

Load

WARNING

Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or

cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing

and may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.

W527

• Do not overload your dryer. Bulk, not weight, determines

the load size. If the dryer is overloaded, it could cause dis-

coloration or permanent heat damage to the load.

• There should be space in the dryer for the clothes to tum-

ble freely and help to reduce wrinkles.

• Large and small pieces together make up loads which will

tumble well. Permanent press loads should be smaller to

provide room for tumbling. Proper tumbling allows for fewer

wrinkles.

• A load can be too small. Just a few small pieces will not

tumble properly. They will take longer to dry and they may

be wrinkled. For small loads, add a couple of large towels

or non lint shedding items to aid in tumbling.

• The following illustrations show the ideal load sizes for fab-

rics. The average load will fill the cylinder one third to half

full when wet.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious in-

section before operating the dryer.

W520

Available Drying Settings

Dryness selections are based on the size of the load, the type

of fabric, and the desired moisture level of the fabric.

MAX DRY and MORE DRY will dry very small loads and some

heavy items, such as blue jeans, but will overdry lightweight

items, such as sheets and shirts. Overdrying can cause wrin-

kling, shrinking, excessive lint conditions, and will use more

energy than necessary.

LESS DRY, which uses the least energy, will dry large loads and

lightweight items, such as sheets and shirts, but might leave

other items, such as denim and heavy bath towels, more

damp.

To increase energy savings and to make sure loads are dried

without overdrying, set your loads on LESS DRY. If items are

damp at the end of a cycle, the timer knob needs to be set

closer to the MORE DRY setting the next time these loads are

dried. If items are overdry at the end of a cycle, the timer knob

should be set closer to COOL DOWN when these loads are

dried again. Remember the settings that work best to get ideal

drying results.

The COOL DOWN period at the end of each cycle provides

items a chance to tumble with no heat and cool down to room

temperature. This prevents wrinkles from setting if items can-

not be cared for immediately.

NOTE: The timer knob will not advance as quickly in

the AUTOMATIC cycles as it does in the TIME DRY cy-

cle. The time it takes for the timer knob to advance de-

pends on the type and size of the load being dried.

The ENERGY SAVER settings, marked with an asterisk(*), show

which settings will use the least energy and will leave items

damp for easier ironing.

Cycle Selection

The following cycle descriptions will help determine which cy-

cle to choose depending on the type of laundry being dried.

NOTE: Use Time Dry Cycles for No Heat tumble. Using

Automatic cycles with No Heat will result in very short

cycle times. Automatic cycles are designed to dry

loads using heat to the dryness level selected.

Automatic Perm Press/Knits Cycle

Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The type of

heat is determined by selecting the proper Fabric Selector op-

tion. There are three settings in the AUTOMATIC PERM PRESS/

KNITS cycle: MORE DRY, LESS DRY and COOL DOWN.

Automatic Regular/Delicate Cycle

Use for sturdy items like play or work clothes and also for deli-

cate items. The type of heat is determined by choosing the

proper Fabric Selector option. There are three settings in the

AUTOMATIC REGULAR/DELICATE cycle - MAX DRY, MORE DRY,

and LESS DRY.

Time Dry Cycle

This cycle will operate dryer for up to 75 minutes. Cottons and

heavyweight items dry best between 50 and 75 minutes, and

lightweight items dry best between 20 and 40 minutes.
