9. Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the UserMaintenance Instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

17. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or cooking oil in the dryer, as these oils may not be removed during washing. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may catch on fire by itself.

10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials.

12. Always clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.

13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

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

15. This gas appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from fuel combustion, make sure this appliance is installed, operated, and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

16. Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT bypass the door safety switch by permitting the dryer to operate with the door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when the door is opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop tumbling when the door is opened or starts tumbling without pressing or turning the START mechanism. Remove the dryer from use and call the service person.

18. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes which have traces of any flammable substances such as machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, or anything dry-cleaned at home with dry-cleaning solvent in the dryer.

19. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.

20. Always disconnect the electrical power to the dryer before attempting service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

21. If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

22. Install this dryer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All connections for electrical power, grounding and gas supply must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know how!

23. Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.

24. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked cabinet).

25. Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and draperies unless the label says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiberglass.

Before Drying

Energy Saving Tips

• Make sure the lint filter is always clean.

• Do not overload the dryer.

• Do not overdry items.

• Remove items to be ironed while still damp.

• Large loads of similar fabrics dry the most

efficiently. However, dry permanent press in smaller loads to prevent wrinkling.

• Use the correct cycle for the type of fabric

being dried.

• Locate your dryer so the exhaust duct is as

short and straight as possible.

• Do not open the door during the drying cycle.

• Plan to do your laundry on low humidity days;

your clothes will dry faster.

• Dry multiple loads of clothes one right after

another so dryer interior does not have to be reheated for each load.

• Follow the care labels on FLAME

RETARDANT, SCOTCH- GUARD™, etc., garments for the proper washing and drying.

• If loads should be damp for ironing, turn

timer knob to the ENERGY SAVER setting, marked with a dot (•), in AUTOMATIC or TIME DRY cycles.

Sort

If you have correctly sorted the items for washing, they should be properly sorted for drying too.

1. Sort by color.

2. Separate lint shedding fabrics and lint receiving fabrics.

Towels, flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs, etc., shed lint. Corduroys, knits (including socks), permanent press, and synthetics attract lint.

3. Separate no heat, low heat and high heat items.

Helps and Hints

• The directions for installation and proper

exhausting are given in the Installation Instructions which are included with the dryer.

• Static electricity may cause garments of

synthetic fibers (as in lingerie) to cling together, especially if they are overdried. The use of a liquid fabric softener in the rinse water of the washer, or a fabric softener sheet in the dryer, will soften clothes and reduce static electricity.

• Do not wash or dry clothes that shed lint in

the same load with permanent press or knit garments.

• Remove permanent press loads immediately

after dryer stops.

In any kind of drying, lightweight fabrics will dry faster than heavyweight fabrics. If mixed loads are dried together (such as sheets and towels), remove the lighter weight fabrics when they are dry to prevent overdrying and wrinkling. The best method is to dry clothes which require the same time and temperature in the same load.
