Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow safety warning exactly could

result in serious injury, death, or property

damage.

DO NOT store or use gasoline or other ﬂam-

mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

or any other appliance.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• DO NOT try to light any appliance.

• DO NOT touch any electrical switch; DO

NOT use any phone in your building.

• Clear the room, building or area of all oc-

cupants.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a

neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s

instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call

the ﬁre department.

• Installation and service must be performed

by a qualiﬁed installer, service agency or

the gas supplier.

Prevent Fire

• DO NOT dry items that have been

previously cleaned in, soaked in, or

spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,

kerosene, waxes, or other ﬂammable or

explosive substances. DO NOT store

these items on or near the dryer. These

substances give off vapors that could

ignite or explode.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Clean the lint screen before or after each

load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen

housing and exhaust duct should be

cleaned approximately every 18 months

by qualiﬁed service personnel. An exces-

sive amount of lint build-up in these ar-

eas could result in inefﬁcient drying and

possible ﬁre. See

Care and Cleaning

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

A clothes dryer produces combustible

lint. The dryer must be connected to an

outdoor exhaust. Regularly inspect the

outdoor exhaust opening and remove

any accumulation of lint around the

opening and in the surrounding area.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electrical

shock, or injury to persons when using

this dryer, comply with the basic warn-

ings listed below. Failure to comply with

the Important Safety Instruction warn-

ings could result in property damage,

serious personal injury, or death.

Safety

WARNING

WARNING indicates a potentially haz-

ardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

IMPORTANT

Indicates installation, operation, or main-

tenance information which is important

but not hazard-related.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazard-

ous situation which, if not avoided, may

result in minor or moderate injury.

DANGER

DANGER indicates an imminently haz-

ardous situation which, if not avoided,

will result in death or serious injury.

Deﬁnitions

This is the safety alert symbol. It is

used to alert you to potential personal

injury hazards. Obey all safety messages

that follow this symbol to avoid possible

injury or death.

• 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. To reduce the risk of ﬁre

due to contaminated loads, the ﬁnal part

of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without

heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping

a tumble dryer before the end of the

drying cycle unless all items are quickly

removed and spread out so that the heat

is dissipated.

• DO NOT dry articles containing rubber,

plastic or similar materials such as bras,

galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby

pants, plastic bags and pillows that may

melt or burn. Some rubber materials,

when heated, can under certain circum-

stances produce ﬁre by spontaneous

combustion.

• DO NOT operate the dryer if the lint

screen is blocked, damaged or missing.

Fire hazard, overheating and damage to

fabrics can occur.

• DO NOT obstruct the ﬂow of ventilating

air. DO NOT stack or place laundry or

throw rugs against the front or back of

the dryer.

• DO NOT spray any type of aerosol into,

on or near dryer at any time.

Safety

• DO NOT use fabric softeners or products

to eliminate static unless recommended

by the manufacturer of the fabric softener

or product.

• To prevent personal injury or damage to

the dryer, the electrical power cord of a

gas dryer must be plugged into a proper-

ly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet.

The third grounding prong must never

be removed. Never ground the dryer to a

gas pipe. DO NOT use an extension cord

or an adaptor plug.

• ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the

electrical supply before attempting any

service or cleaning. Failure to do so can

result in electrical shock or injury.

• DO NOT use any type of spray cleanser

when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous

fumes or electrical shock could occur.

• To prevent injury, DO NOT reach into the

dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until

the dryer has stopped completely before

reaching into the drum.

Prevent Injury And Damage To

The Dryer

• All repairs and servicing must be per-

formed by an authorized service provider

unless speciﬁcally recommended in this

Use & Care Guide

. Use only authorized

factory parts.

• DO NOT tamper with controls.

• DO NOT sit on, step on or stand on the

dryer. DO NOT rest heavy loads on top.

The dryer is not meant to support weight.

• DO NOT install or store the dryer where it

will be exposed to the weather.

• Thermal limiter switches automatically

turn off the motor in the unlikely event of

an overheated situation. A service techni-

cian must replace the thermal limiter

switch(es) after correcting the fault.

• Failure to comply with these warnings

could result in serious personal injuries.

WARNING

DO NOT continue to use the dryer if you

hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or oth-

er unusual noises. This could be a sign of

mechanical breakdown and lead to ﬁre or

serious injury. Contact a qualiﬁed tech-

nician immediately.

• Failure to comply with these warnings

could result in ﬁre, explosion, serious

bodily injury and/or damage to the dryer.

Protect Children

• DO NOT allow children to play on or in

the dryer. Close supervision of children is

necessary when the dryer is used near

children. As children grow, teach them

the proper, safe use of all appliances.

• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and

other packing materials after the dryer is

unpacked. Children might use them for

play. Cartons covered with rugs, bed-

spreads or plastic sheets can become

airtight chambers.

• Keep laundry products out of children’s

reach. To prevent personal injury, observe

all warnings on product labels.

• Before the dryer is removed from service

or discarded, remove the dryer door to

prevent accidental entrapment.

• Failure to comply with these warnings

could result in serious personal injuries.

Prevent Injury

• To prevent shock hazard and assure

stability during operation, the dryer must

be installed and electrically grounded by

a qualiﬁed service person in accordance

with local codes. Installation instructions

are packed in the dryer for the installer’s

reference. Refer to

Installation Instruc-

tions

for detailed grounding procedures.

If the dryer is moved to a new location,

have it checked and reinstalled by a

qualiﬁed service person.

Operating Instructions

WARNING

DO NOT operate dryer without lint ﬁlter

in place.

STEPS TIPS IMPORTANT

1. Prepare

load for

drying.

• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and con-

struction in the same load.

• Separate dark items from light-colored

items. Separate items that shed lint from

those that attract lint.

• Check for stains which may not have been

removed in washing. Repeat stain removal

process and wash again before drying. Dryer

heat may permanently set some stains.

• Place delicate, rubber coated, or small items

in a mesh bag (not included).

• Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heat-

proof and won’t damage the drum ﬁnish.

Close zippers; fasten hooks and loop fasten-

ers. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snag-

ging and tangling.

DO NOT machine

wash items contain-

ing ﬁberglass. Small

particles of ﬁberglass

left in drum may

transfer to fabrics

in other loads and

cause skin irritation

and/or damage to

fabrics.

DO NOT wash water

resistant and water

repellent type cloth-

ing or other materials.

2. Check that

the lint ﬁlter

is clean

and in

place.

DO NOT operate

dryer without lint ﬁlter

in place.

3. Load the

dryer and

close the

door.

• Load items loosely. The average wet load

will ﬁll the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need

room to tumble freely for even drying and

less wrinkling.

• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet

on top of the load at the beginning of the

cycle.

• When drying large items, dry only two or

three items at a time. Fill out the load with

smaller items.

• For delicate or very small loads, add two or

three similar items to improve tumbling ac-

tion.

DO NOT overload

the dryer. To save en-

ergy, time and avoid

uneven drying and

wrinkling avoid over-

loading the dryer.

DO NOT over-dry.

Over-drying can

cause wrinkles,

shrinkage, lint, and

a build up of static

electricity.

Operating Your Dryer

WARNING

Clean the lint ﬁlter after every load.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS in this

Use & Care Guide

before operating your dryer.

10 Operating Instructions

STEPS TIPS IMPORTANT

4. Select the

appropriate

cycle and

settings for

each load.

• See

Cycle Selection

and

Cycle Settings

for

detailed descriptions of cycle controls.

• See

Cycle Setting Charts

to determine which

settings are available for each cycle.

• To provide the best care, not every setting

or option is available with every cycle. If a

setting or option is not available for the cycle

selected, the indicator will not light. See

Set-

ting Chart

for information of available options

for each cycle by model.

• Adjustments made to most cycle settings will

be remembered and recalled each time that

cycle is selected in the future. To return to

factory settings, press the dryness button

and the options button at the same time

and hold until the signal sounds.

Over-drying can

cause wrinkles,

shrinkage, lint, harsh-

ness, and a build up

of static electricity.

To prevent uninten-

tional and accidental

exposure of delicate

material to excess

heat or unexpected

steam, the sanitize

temperature setting

and the perfect

steam™ option will

not be remembered

and must be rese-

lected each time.

5. Close the

dryer door

and start

the drying

cycle.

• To start the drying cycle, close the door and

press the start/pause button.

• To add an item to the dryer drum, press

start/pause. Add the item, close the door

and press start/pause to resume the cycle.

• To change settings or options after the cycle

has begun, press start/pause, change the

settings, and then press start/pause. If the

cycle is not paused ﬁrst, the unit will emit sev-

eral beeps when the buttons are pressed but

no changes to the cycle will be applied.

• To change the cycle once the cycle has be-

gun, press cancel to cancel the cycle, select

the new cycle, and press start/pause to

begin the new cycle. Changing a cycle selec-

tion without cancelling the current WILL NOT

change the cycle.

• To cancel a cycle, press cancel.

The dryer WILL NOT

operate with the door

open.

When drying a single

large or bulky item,

such as a comforter,

pause the cycle part

way through to turn

the item “inside out”

and maximize drying

effectiveness.

6. Remove

items when

done.

• A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if

the chime option is not set to mute.

• Immediately remove items when the cycle is

completed and hang or fold.

See product manu-

facturer’s instruc-

tions.

7. Clean the

lint ﬁlter.

• See

Care and Cleaning

section of this in-

struction.

• CLEAN LINT will be displayed at the end of

the cycle as a reminder to remove lint from

ﬁlter.

ALWAYS REMOVE

LINT at the end

of the cycle (see

warning on previ-

ous page).
