DRYER SAFETY

WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize

the risk of re or explosion, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

– Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

or any other appliance.

– WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

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

instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the re department.

– Installation and service must be performed by a qualied installer, service agency, or

the gas supplier.

•Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.

WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell.

Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA.

For more information, contact your gas supplier.

If a gas leak is detected, follow the “What to do if you smell gas” instructions.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Maintain good air ow by:

n Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

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

diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

n Use the shortest length of vent possible.

n Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces air ow.

Good Better

n Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

n 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 nal product check.

n Clear away items from the front the dryer.

Good air ow

Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently

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 ow.

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.

Use automatic cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Automatic Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Cycles,

drying air temperature and 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.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or re.

DRYER CARE

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would

block the air ow for proper dryer operation. This includes

clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.

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 ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to

remove lint.

2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

n 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.

n 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 ngers.

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.

4. Rinse screen with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.

Reinstall screen in dryer.

Cleaning the dryer interior

To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a liquid, nonammable 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.

Removing 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 qualied servicer.

From the Exhaust Vent

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

depending on dryer usage.

Cleaning the dryer location

Vacation, storage, and moving care

as dry as you would like, you may change the default

settings to increase the default dryness level.

Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to

different installations, environmental conditions or personal

preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your

Automatic cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There

are 3 drying settings, which are displayed using the time

display:

01 Factory preset dryness level.

02 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.

03 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.

To change the drying settings:

NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer is

running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode (the

power button is off) to adjust the default settings.

1. Before starting a cycle, press and hold the TEMP button

for 6 seconds.

2. Press the TEMP button to select the dryness level

shown in the time display: 01, 02, or 03.
