If you need semice or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five steps:

l. Before calling for

assistance...

Performance problems often result

from little things you can find and fix

yourself without tools of any kind.

If your dryer does not run:

Is the power supply cord plugged

into a live circuit with the proper volt-

age?

Is the door closed tightly?

Did you push the STARTButton?

Is the gas turned on? If not, turn the

Control Knob to OFF. Turn on gas.

Wait 5 minutes. Reset controls and

start.

An electric dryer uses a circuit

breaker or 2 fuses. If one fuse is

blown, the dryer may run, but not

heat.

If drying time seems long:

of this book for cleaning instr&tions.

See page 7 of this book and your

“Dryer Guide:’

main fuses or circuit breaker box?
