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 materi-

als 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 circumstances

produce ﬁre by spontaneous combustion.

• Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, dam-

aged 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.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless recommended by the manufacturer 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 rub-

ber or plastic parts of the dryer.

tion, 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.

• To prevent personal injury or 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 cleaning. Failure to do so

can result in electrical shock or injury.

• Do not use any type 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

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.

Normal Operating Sounds

A

BC

D

You may or may not hear the following sounds from your

new dryer:

A. 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.

B. 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.

C. 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.

D. 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 INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

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 and Care Guide before operating your dryer.

Operating Your Dryer

(Mesh bag not included.)

1 Prepare load for drying.

• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction 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 or small

items in a mesh bag.

• Be sure buckles,

buttons and trim are

heatproof and won’t

damage the drum ﬁnish.

Close zippers, button

buttons, fasten hooks

and Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie strings 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.

• See

Dryer Operating Instructions

on following pages.

5 Start the dryer.

• Close the dryer door. The dryer will not operate with the

door open.

• Press the POWER button to turn on the unit.

• Turn the cycle selector in either direction to scroll to

the desired cycle. The indicator for that cycle will be

illuminated. See the “Cycle Selection” section in this

guide for descriptions of each cycle.

• The estimated cycle time, preset drying temperature,

dryness level, and options for each cycle will be indicated

for the cycle displayed. See the “Cycle Settings” and

“Dryer Settings Chart” in this guide for descriptions and

available settings for each cycle.

• To change the settings, press the Temp and Dryness

buttons to scroll to the desired settings.

• To select or deselect an option, press the button for

that option. The indicator will be illuminated when the

option has been selected. The indicator will no longer

be lighted when the option has been deselected.

• After making your selections, press START to begin

the cycle.

• To add or remove items when the dryer is running,

press the Pause button to pause the cycle and open the

door. Opening the door with a cycle running will also

pause the cycle. Allow the drum to come to a complete

stop before reaching inside. Add or remove the item,

close the door and push the START button again,

continuing the current cycle.

• To cancel a running cycle, press the POWER button.

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

option has been selected.

NOTE

If drying a single large or bulky item, such as a comforter,

remove the item part way through the cycle and turn it

“inside out” to maximize drying effectiveness. Place item

back in dryer and re-start cycle.

CAUTION

Do not operate dryer without lint ﬁlter in place.

6 When the cycle ends, remove items immediately

and hang or fold.

SELECTING THE RIGHT CYCLE TO SAVE

ENERGY

This dryer has been speciﬁcally designed with options to

help you save energy and at the same time utilize the

optimal drying setting for your clothing.

Some cycles save more energy than others. Cycles that use

the least amount of heat save the most energy. Use the

lowest heat setting (auto and timed dry cycles) and lowest

dryness level (auto dry cycles) to save on energy and

prevent over drying your clothing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE

Initial cycle times for Sensor Dry cycles are only estimates.

Actual drying time may be longer or shorter than displayed

time.

Cycle Selection, continued

Sensor Dry Cycles

Sensor Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the

correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars in the

front of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of the load as

it tumbles through the heated air. With Sensor Dry cycles, the

load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to

the desired dryness level.

Sensor 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.

Manual Dry Cycles

Quick Dry

Select this cycle to quickly dry a small load.

Time Dry

To manually select the drying time for any load, scroll

the cycle selector indicator to Time Dry. Drying time

can be adjusted by repeatedly pressing the Time Adjust

button. Drying time will be displayed. Select any drying

temperature. Because this is not a Sensor Dry cycle, you

will not be able to select a dryness level.

Air Fluff

Select this cycle to refresh clothing, stuffed animal, pillows

or blankets, and to dust draperies. No heat will be applied

to the load as it tumbles.

Drying time varies depending on size and dampness 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 min-

utes. If this occurs, then select the Time Dry cycle to dry

such loads.

Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and

electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time.

Normal

Select this cycle to dry everyday fabrics including cottons,

linens and sheets.

Delicates

Select this cycle to dry knits and delicates.

Active Wear

Select this cycle to dry lightweight, synthetic apparel worn

for working out, running, swimming, cycling, tennis and

similar activities, including stretch fabrics. Fabric softeners

reduce wicking and are not recommended for garments

made to pull moisture away from the body.

Towels

Select this cycle to dry heavy loads such as towels and non-

rubber-backed bath mats.

Sanitize

Recommended for durable fabrics and towels. Use this

cycle to remove harmful bacteria from your clothing or

other items where sanitization is desired.

This option will kill 99.9% of bacteria. A higher temperatures

is required to kill bacteria. Please check fabric care labels to

prevent damage.

Heavy Duty

Select this cycle to dry durable garments - ex. towels,

sports gear, fabric tote bags, jeans, or overalls.

Bulky

Select this cycle to dry bedding and bulky items such as

comforters, blankets, sleeping bags and parkas.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

To avoid ﬁre hazard, do not use heat to dry items containing

feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics similarly textured,

rubber-like materials. Use the Time Dry cycle and the Air

Dry (no heat) setting.
