Extra Large Capacity

Ultra drying capabilities are at your fingertips! Now you can dry extra-large loads. Our

ultralarge 7.5 cu.ft, capacity dryer circulates more air through your clothes, drying them

faster, for a wrinkle-free result.

Steam Cycle

This cycle sprays a small amount of water into the dryer drum after several minutes of

tumbling with heat. Itreduces bad odors from clothing that are difficult to remove when

washing with water, and also reduces wrinkles.

Sanitize Course

This course allows you to sanitize garments by permeating high temperature heat deep into

the fabric during the drying cycle. Use this course to keep your bedding and curtains clean.

When selecting this cycle, 99.9% of certain bacteria is eliminated through high temperature

heat. Use this cycle for clothing, bedding, towels, or other items needing sanitized. This

certification is conducted by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and

certification organization.

WARNING -Risk of Fire

• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.

Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal

(foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance

manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are

known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct

clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

'_To

WARNING

reduce the risk of fire or explosion:

Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with

gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They

emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a

cleaning solvent or 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

Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-

like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can,

under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

_What to do if you smell gas:

WARNING

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not turn on the appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch.

Do not use any phone in your building.

Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's

instructions.

Ifyou 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

Do not tamper with controls.

Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless specifically

_ ecommended in the user-repair instructions and you understand and have the skills to

carry those out.

WARNING

it,,

WARNING

Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and dirt.

The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service

personnel.

This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle

that 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 dryer.

Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.

coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.

Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.

Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.

Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.

Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.

Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking

oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these oils.

Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. The potential for spontaneous

combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to

heat. Heat sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction

in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. Ifthis heat cannot escape, the items can become

hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat

from escaping and can create a fire hazard.

All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be

dangerous. Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not

eliminate, the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their

temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle until

the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they

are hot.
