MPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

I. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:

a. Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned

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

cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive sub-

stances as they give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.Any material on which you have used a

cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable

liquids or solids, should not be placed in the dryer,

until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and

their fumes have been removed.There are many highly

flammable items used in homes, such as: acetone,

denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid

household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine,

waxes and wax removers.

b. Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex

foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials must

not be dried on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials

when heated, can under certain circumstances pro-

duce fire by spontaneous combustion.

3. Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of

the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the

appliance is used near children and pets.

4. Before the appliance is removed from service or dis-

carded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be

exposed to the weather.

7. Do not tamper with controls.

8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in

published user-repair instructions that you understand and

have the skills to carry out.

9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of

the fabric softener or product.

10. Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

Keep the area around the exhaust opening and sur-

rounding areas free from lint accumulation, dust and dirt.

The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be

cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded

adequately and in accordance with local and national

codes. See installation instructions for grounding this

appliance.

Do not sit on top of the clothes dryer.

Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in the dryer.

I_RYER EXHAUST TIPS

Read the installation instructions

and the Use and Care Guide.

DON'T

Let a poor exhaust system

cause slow drying.

Let your dryer exhaust

the air easily.

DON'T

Restrict your dryer with a

poor exhaust system.

Use 4 inch

diameter rigid

metal duct.Tape all

joints, including at the dryer.

Never use lint-trapping screws.

DON'T

Use plastic, thin foil, or

non-metal flexible duct.

Keep duct runs as straight

as possible.

DON'T (I I I

Use longer than necessary

duct runs with many

elbows.

Clean all old ducts before installing

your new dryer. Be sure vent flap

opens and closes freely. Inspect and

clean the exhaust system annually.

DON'T

Allow crushedor clogged

ductsand vent.

PERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• After each load.

• To shorten drying time.

• To operate more energy efficiently.

NOTE: Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.

Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes wilt dry differently.

Lightweight clothes will dry, while heavy clothes may be damp.

Add one or more similar items to the dryer when only one or

two articles need drying. This improves the tumbling action

and drying efficiency.

Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven

drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some fabrics.

underwear, jeans, etc.

Wrinkle Control

The Wrinkle Control cycle is designed to dry wrinkle-free

cottons, synthetic fabrics, knits and permanent press fabrics
