W130

1. Read all instructions before using the dryer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the dryer.

3. Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, soaked in, washed in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. Do not allow children to play on or in the
dryer. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the dryer is used near
children. This is a safety rule for all
appliances.

5. Before the dryer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the drying
compartment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, if
applicable, 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.
