DRYER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important,

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured ifyou don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

|-"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 or flexible metal

(foil type} duct. If flexible metal 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.

-Save these instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING." To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the dryer.

[] 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 that have been previously cleaned in,

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

cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

[] Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is

used near children.

[] Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door to the drying compartment.

[] Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.

[] Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed

to the weather.

[] Do not tamper with controls.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Fire Hazard

Use aheavy metal vent.

Do not use aplastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent,

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire,

fGood air flow

Along with heat, dryers require good air flow to efficiently

dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and

improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in

good air flow.

Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by

the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of

who installed the dryer.

Maintain good air flow by:

[]

[] Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

Replace plastic or foil vent material with 102 mm (4")

diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

0 lo2 mm

(4")

[] Use the shortest length of vent possible.

[] Use no more than four 90 ° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces air flow.

[]

Bet

Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at

least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure

to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your

dryer for final product check.

Clear away items from the front the dryer.

_' %

Use Automatic Dry Cycles for Better Fabric Care and Energy Savings __

cycles, drying air temperature or moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the

dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness.

With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying._

Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

DRYER CARE

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from dryer.

Piace dryer at least 460 mm (18 inches) above the floor

for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

fCleaning the dryer interior

To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the

stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until

stain is removed.

2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim

blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the

dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and

will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside

out to avoid drum staining.

fRemoving accumulated lint

From Inside the Dryer Cabinet

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done

by a qualified servicer.

From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage.

Cleaning the lint screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.

A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen

with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to

remove lint.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

[] Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose,

damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause

overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

[] If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,

check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See

"Venting Requirements."

As needed cleaning

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build

up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying

times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before

your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged

if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.

Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,

or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue

buildup.

To wash:

1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.

3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.

Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue

buildup.
