Important Safety Instructions

Save These Instructions

1. Read all instructions before using the dryer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in

the INSTALLATION manual for the proper

grounding of the dryer.

3. Do not dry articles that have been previously

cleaned in, soaked in, washed in, or spotted

9. 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 instructions that you

understand and have the skills to carry out.

10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or

product.

11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY

plastics or articles containing foam rubber

or similarly textured rubberlike materials.

12. Always clean the lint filter after every load. A

layer of lint in the filter reduces drying

efficiency and prolongs drying time.

13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and

adjacent surrounding area free from the

accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

14. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust

duct should be cleaned periodically by

qualified service personnel.

15. This gas appliance contains or produces a

chemical or chemicals which can cause death

or serious illness and which are known to the

State of California to cause cancer, birth

defects, or other reproductive harm. To

reduce the risk from substances in the fuel

or from fuel combustion, make sure this

appliance is installed, operated, and

maintained according to the manufacturer’s

instructions.

16. Dryer will not operate with the loading door

open. DO NOT bypass the door safety switch

by permitting the dryer to operate with the

door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when

the door is opened. Do not use the dryer if it

does not stop tumbling when the door is

opened or starts tumbling without pressing

or turning the START mechanism. Remove

the dryer from use and call the service

person.

17. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable

or cooking oil in the dryer, as these oils

may not be removed during washing.

Due to the remaining oil, the

fabric may catch on fire by

itself.

18. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes

which have traces of any flammable

substances such as machine oil, flammable

chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything

containing wax or chemicals such as in mops

and cleaning cloths, or anything dry-cleaned

at home with dry-cleaning solvent in the

dryer.

19. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose,

drying clothes.

20. Always disconnect the electrical power to

the dryer before attempting service.

Disconnect the power cord by grasping the

plug, not the cord.

21. If supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by a special cord or assembly

available from the manufacturer or its

service agent.

22. Install this dryer according to the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All

connections for electrical power, grounding

and gas supply must comply with local codes

and be made by licensed personnel when

required. Do not do it yourself unless you

know how!

23. Remove laundry immediately after the dryer

stops.

24. Always read and follow manufacturer’s

instructions on packages of laundry and

cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or

precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning

or chemical burns, keep them out of reach of

children at all times (preferably in a locked

cabinet).

25. Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and

draperies unless the label says it can be

done. If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder

with a damp cloth to remove particles of

fiberglass.

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. However, dry permanent press in

smaller loads to prevent wrinkling.

•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 dryer interior does not have to be

reheated for each load.

Helps and Hints

•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 the proper washing and drying.

•If loads should be damp for ironing, turn

timer knob to the ENERGY SAVER setting,

marked with a dot (•), in AUTOMATIC or TIME

DRY cycles.

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. Corduroys, knits (including socks), permanent

press, and synthetics 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 and temperature in the same load.

DRY2024N

Load

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

determines the load size. If the dryer is

overloaded, it could cause discoloration or

permanent heat damage to the load.

•There should be space in the dryer for the

clothes to tumble 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 fabrics. The average load will fill the

cylinder one third to half full when wet.

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.
