Safety

Z WARN NG o RISK OF FIRE

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this dryer, comply with the

basic warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal

injuries.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety instructions:

PREVENT FiRE

• Do not dry items that have been previously

cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,

cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not •

store these items on or near the dryer. These

substances give off vapors that could ignite or •

explode.

•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.

•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 rub-

ber materials, when heated, can under certain

circumstances produce fire by spontaneous

combustion.

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 excessive amount of lint build-up in these ar-

eas could result in inefficient drying and possible

fire. See Care and Cleaning.

•Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is

blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, over-

heating 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.

Do not use fabric softeners or products to elimi-

nate static unless recommended by the manu-

facturer of the fabric softener or product.

Do not continue to use the dryer if you hear

squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual

noises. This could be a sign of mechanical

breakdown and lead to fire or serious injury.

Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Failure to comply with these warnings could

result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/

or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of 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 pack-

ing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Chil-

dren might use them for play. Cartons covered

with rugs, bedspreads 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 ac-

cidental entrapment.

.Failure to comply with these warnings could

result in serious personal injuries.

Safety

important Safety instructions, continued

PREVENTINJURY

• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability

during operation, the dryer must be installed

and electrically grounded by a qualified service

tion instructions are packed in the dryer for the

installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION o

INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding proce-

dures. If the dryer is moved to a new location,

have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified

service person.

To prevent personal injuryor damage to the

dryer, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer

must be plugged into a properly 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 clean-

ing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock

or injury.

Do not use any type spray cleanser when clean-

ing dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical

shock could occur.

To prevent injury,do not reach intothe 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 performed by

an authorized servicer unless specifically rec-

ommended 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.

A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off

the motor in the unlikely event of an overheated

situation (electric dryers only). A service techni-

cian must replace the thermal limiter switch after

correcting the fault.

Failure to comply with these warnings could

result in serious personal injuries.

Operating Instructions

Normal Operating Sounds

You may or may not hear the following sounds

from your new dryer:

A. WATER VALVE (Steam models only.) The flow of

water is controlled by electric solenoids. During

operation there may be a clicking sound as the

valve opens and closes to control the water flow.

B. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum

is supported by a set of suspension rollers.

At times there may be a thumping or rolling

sound when the dryer starts. This may happen

if the dryer has not been in use for a period of

time, or after a heavy load has remained in the

dryer drum for an extended period, creating

a temporary flat spot on the edge of the

roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer

operates and the flat spots smooth out.

C. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is equipped

with a high volume air handling system. In

some installations there may be some sounds

associated with air movement throughout

the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and

exhaust system. This is normal and can vary

with load size and type.

D. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.) The flow of gas is

controlled by electric solenoids. During operation

there may be a clicking sound as the valve opens

and closes to control the gas flow.

E GAS BURNER (Gas models only.) When the

burner is operating, there may be sounds

generated as the air flow mixes with the gas

flame. This noise is normal and will only occur

when the gas is ignited in the combustion tube.

Operating Your Dryer

BEFORE USING YOUR DRYER

Read the important instructions in this section of

the Use and Care Guide before operating your

dryer.

OPERATING YOUR DRYER

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.

Operatin Instructions

OPERATING YOUR DRYER, continued

o Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.

Be sure buckles,

buttons and trim

are heatproof and

won't damage

the drum finish.

Close zippers;

fasten hooks and

VelcroQlike fas-

teners. Tie strings (Mesh bag not included.)

and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.

2. Check that the lint filter is clean and

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.

To save energy and time and avoid uneven

drying and wrinkling, do not overload the

dryer.

When drying large items, dry only two or three

items at a time. Fill out the load with small and

medium sized items.

For delicate or very small loads, add two or

three similar items to improve tumbling action.

4. Select the appropriate cycle and

settings for each load.

•Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction

to select the cycle desired. The estimated dry-

ingtime for Auto Dry cycles or the actual drying

time for Time Dry cycles will be displayed.

A suitable drying temperature, dryness level

and options will automatically be indicated for

the cycle selected. See the "Dryer Settings

Chart" for more details.

To change the drying temperature and dryness

level, press the temperature and dryness but-

tons to scroll to the desired settings.

To select or delete an option, press the button

for that option. The indicator will be illuminated

when the option has been selected. The indica-

tor will no longer be lighted when the option has

been deleted.

Adjustments made to a cycle will be remem-

bered and recalled each time that cycle is

selected inthe future.

cycle. The dryer will not operate with the door

open. To interrupt the cycle, press pause;

press start to resume the cycle. Press cancel

to stop the cycle.

If changes to the cycle, temperature, dryness

level or options are attempted after the cycle

starts, the lightswill blink and a signal will beep.

To change the cycle once the cycle has be-

gun, press cancel and select a new cycle. To

change the temperature, dryness level or op-

tions once the cycle has begun, press pause

and make the new selections.

A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if

the chime option has been selected. When the

cycle ends, remove the items promptly and

hang or fold.

Operating Instructions

Cycle Selection

normal casual

This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Console shown

above for reference only. Your model may differ.

Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the

cycle desired. The indicator for that cycle will be

illuminated. Press on the cycle selector knob to

extend it or return it flush to the console.

For best results

Follow the fabric care label instructions

on items to be dried.

To change the cycle once it has begun, press the

cancel button before selecting a new cycle. Just

turning the cycle selector knob to another selec-

tion will not change the cycle.

AUTO DRY CYCLES

Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of select-

ing the correct drying time for each load. Moisture

sensing bars at the back of the dryer drum sense

the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through

the heated air. With Auto Dry cycles, the load will

automatically be dried at the selected temperature

to the desired dryness level.

Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect

fabrics. When the load has reached the selected

dryness level, it will continue to tumble, unheated,

during a cool down period. This helps reduce

wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during

unloading.

Drying time varies depending on size and damp-

ness of load and fabric type. If the load is too small

or almost dry, the moisture sensing bars may not

detect enough moisture to continue the cycle and

the cycle may end after a few minutes. If this oc-

curs, then select the time dry cycle to dry such

loads.

Room temperature and humidity, type of installa-

tion and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also

affect drying time.

NORMAL i:_

Select this cycle to dry everyday fabrics including

cottons, linens and sheets.

and non-rubber-backed bath mats.

MIXED LOAD _l

duce allergens as you dry your load. Items prone to

heat damage are not recommended for this cycle.
