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.

Load
WARNING
Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing and may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.
W527
Do not overload your dryer. Bulk, not weight,
determines the load size. If the dryer is overloaded, it could cause discoloration or permanent heat damage to the load.
There should be space in the dryer for the
clothes to tumble freely and help to reduce wrinkles.
Large and small pieces together make up
loads which will tumble well. Permanent press loads should be smaller to provide room for tumbling. Proper tumbling allows for fewer wrinkles.
The following illustrations show the ideal load
sizes for fabrics. The average load will fill the cylinder one third to half full when wet.
DRY2031N
Cylinder with wet linens and cottons
DRY2031N
A load can be too small. Just a few small
pieces will not tumble properly. They will take longer to dry and they may be wrinkled. For small loads, add a couple of large towels or non lint shedding items to aid in tumbling.

Operating Your Dryer
NOTE: The timer knob will not advance as quickly
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons, read the Safety Information section before operating the dryer.
W520
Available Drying Cycles
NOTE: Use the automatic cycles for drying items that can be dried with heat. These cycles automatically dry loads to the dryness level selected.
MORE DRY will dry very small loads and some heavy items, such as blue jeans, but will overdry lightweight items, such as sheets and shirts. Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinking, excessive lint conditions, and will use more energy than necessary.
LESS DRY, which uses the least energy, will dry large loads and lightweight items, such as sheets and shirts, but might leave other items, such as denim and heavy bath towels, more damp.
To increase energy savings and to make sure loads are dried without overdrying, set your loads on LESS DRY. If items are damp at the end of a cycle, the timer knob needs to be set closer to the MORE DRY setting the next time these loads are dried. If items are overdry at the end of a cycle, the timer knob should be set closer to COOL DOWN or COOL TUMBLE when these loads are dried again. Remember the settings that work best to get ideal drying results.
in the AUTOMATIC cycles as it does in the TIME DRY cycle. The time it takes for the timer to advance depends on the type and size of the load being dried.
The ENERGY SAVER settings, if applicable, marked with a dot (), show which settings will use the least energy and will leave items damp for easier ironing.
Automatic Regular/Delicate Cycle
Use for sturdy items like play or work clothes and also for delicate items. The type of heat is determined by choosing the proper Fabric Selector option. There are two settings in the AUTOMATIC REGULAR/DELICATE cycle — MORE DRY and LESS DRY.
Time Dry Cycle
This cycle will operate dryer for up to 75 minutes. Cottons and heavyweight items dry best between 50 and 75 minutes, and lightweight items dry best between 20 and 40 minutes.
Automatic Permanent Press/Knits Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The type of heat is determined by selecting the proper Fabric Selector option. There are two settings in the AUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS/ KNITS cycle — MORE DRY and LESS DRY.
The COOL DOWN and COOL TUMBLE period at the end of each cycle provides items a chance to tumble with no heat and cool down to room temperature. This prevents wrinkles from setting if items cannot be cared for immediately.
