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:

oYou can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured ifyou don'tfollow

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.

-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 aclothes 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.

kems 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.

[] Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt

any servicing unless specifically recommended in this

Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and have the skills to

carry out.

[] Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric

softener or product.

[] Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like materials.

[] Clean lint screen before or after each load.

[] Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent

surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,

and dirt.

[] The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be

cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

[] See "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation

instructions for grounding instructions.

15" Pedestal

Color-matched pedestals raise the washer

and dryer to a more comfortable working

height. The large drawer provides convenient

storage.

Stack Kit

If space is at a premium, the stack kit

allows the dryer to be installed on top

of the washer.

Worksurface

The worksurface bridges the washer

and dryer, and provides a convenient

working and storage area.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use ametal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Good airflow

Along with heat, dryers require good airflow 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 airflow.

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 airflow by:

[]

[] Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

Replace plastic or foil vent material

with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid

vent material.

[] Use the shortest length of vent possible.

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

each bend and curve reduces airflow.

Better_

[] 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 of the dryer.

FUse 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. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

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.

fTips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer

[] Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton [] Cycles that use steam are not recommended for items that

garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments

than those without. 100% cotton items may require prior to using a cycle that uses steam.

additional touching up after cycles that use steam. [] Some Models: The Steam Refresh Cycle is best for

[] Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads

cycles that use steam. It may cause temporary staining consisting of dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-

on clothes, polyester blend, common knits, and synthetics.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

Not all features and cycles are available on all models.

NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds

to a light touch of your finger. To ensure your selections are registered,

touch the control panel with your finger tip, not your fingernail. When

selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.

USING YOUR DRYER

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from dryer.

Do not dry anything that has ever had anything

flammable on it (even after washing).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

explosion, or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before

operating this appliance.

F1. Clean the lint screen

Clean the lint screen before each load. Pull the lint screen

straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse

or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove. Push

the lint screen firmly back into place.

For additional cleaning information, see "Dryer Care."

2. Load the dryer _'_

Open the door by pulling on the handle. Place laundry in the

dryer. Add a dryer sheet to wet load, if desired. Close the door.

IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack the dryer. Items need

to tumble freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor drying

performance and may increase wrinkling and tangling.

Fire Hazard

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on

it (including cooking oils).

items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried

on aclothesline or by using an Air Cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.
