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

with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other

flammable or explosive substances as they give

off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. Do not allow children to play on or in the

dryer. Close supervision of children is

necessary when the dryer is used near

children. This is a safety rule for all

appliances.

5. Before the dryer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the drying

compartment.

6. Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is

revolving.

7. Do not install or store the dryer where it will

be exposed to the water and/or weather.

8. Do not tamper with the controls.

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 by-pass 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.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

serious injury or death to persons when

using your dryer, follow these basic

precautions:

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.

26. ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions

supplied by the garment manufacturer.

27. Never operate the dryer with any guards and/

or panels removed.

28. DO NOT operate the dryer with missing or

broken parts.

29. DO NOT by-pass any safety devices.

30. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate

this machine according to the manufacturer’s

instructions may result in conditions which

can produce bodily injury and/or property

damage.

NOTE: The WARNING AND IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this

manual are not meant to cover all possible

conditions and situations that may occur. Common

sense, caution and care must be exercised when

installing, maintaining, or operating the dryer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent

or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions

you do not understand.

Use and Care

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 necessary suggestions and 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, SCOTCHGUARD™, etc.,

garments for the proper washing and drying.

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, flammable chemicals,

thinner, etc. must not be put into the dryer.

Sort

If you have correctly sorted the items for washing,

they should be properly sorted for drying too.

Figure 1

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

Corduroys, knits (including socks), permanent press,

and synthetics attract lint.

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.

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. This helps 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. Figure 2 shows the ideal

load sizes for fabrics. The average load will fill the

cylinder one third to half full when wet.

Figure 2

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.
