Important Safety Information
!
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death when using your
dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using
dryer.
2. Install dryer according to
Installation Instructions. Refer to
the Grounding Instructions in the
Installation Instructions for proper
grounding of the dryer.
3. Do not dry articles that have
been cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,
or other flammable or explosive
substances. V apors could ignite
or explode.
4. Do not use dryer to dry clothes
which have traces of any
flammable substance, such as
vegetable oil, cooking oil,
machine oil, flammable
chemicals, thinner, etc., or
anything containing wax or
chemicals, such as mops and
cleaning cloths. Flammable
substances may cause fabric to
catch fire by itself.
5. Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and
liquids near this or any other
appliance.
6. Do not allow children to play on
or in dryer. Close supervision of
children is necessary when dryer

rule for all appliances.
7. Before dryer is removed from
service or discarded, remove
door to drying compartment.
8. Do not reach into dryer if cylinder
is revolving.
9. Do not install or store dryer
where it will be exposed to water
and/or weather.
10. Do not tamper with dryer controls.
1 1. Do not repair or replace any part of

Drying Clothes
If These Controls
are Different from
Yours
These controls are intended to show the
variety of features that are available in
the product line. If your dryer does not
have all the options that are shown, it is
not a mistake. The information
provided applies to several of the
models in the product line.
Lint
Filter
IMPORTANT: Lint filter must be in
place in door opening when using dryer
or loading and unloading dryer. If filter
is not in place, clothing could fall into
front air duct.
1. Sort clothes for drying
Properly dried clothes will need a minimum of care when removed from
the dryer. Clothes properly sorted for washing should be properly sorted
for drying also. Follow the examples below.
SORT EXAMPLES
Dark and Light
Colors
Lint Shedding
Fabrics
Lint Receiving
Fabrics
Heavy and Light
weight Fabrics
Separate light clothes from dark clothes.
Towels, flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs
Corduroys, knits (including socks),
permanent press, and synthetics
Lightweight fabrics 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
over drying and wrinkling.
2. Clean the lint filter before each use
A clean lint filter ensures efficient drying and clothes will remain lint-
free when unloading dryer. A layer of lint on the screen will reduce air
flow through the dryer and lengthen drying time. Lint screen may be
washed if needed.
• Lint filter is located at front of the dryer in the lower part of door opening.
• Replace lint filter in door recess and push in firmly . Words on filter
should face front of dryer.
Add clothes loosely into dryer drum. Add fabric softener sheet, if
desired. Close loading door. Dryer will not operate with the door open.
3. Select FABRIC SELECTOR setting
Set FABRIC SELECTOR knob to most appropriate temperature for type
of fabric in load. Follow garment manufacturer’s care label for
recommended temperature settings. See chart below.

Choose whether or not you want signal notification at the end of your
dryer cycle. Turn SIGNAL switch to ON if you want signal notification, or
turn switch to OFF for no signal.
5. Turn timer to desired setting
The cycles control the drying time. The ENERGY SA VER setting,
marked with a dash (–), shows which dryer settings will use the least
energy and will leave items damp for easier ironing.
The AUTOMA TIC cycles will automatically determine the time needed to
dry your clothes and will work on any FABRIC SELECT OR setting.
Set the timer for the type of fabric in the load.
TIME DRY cycle will operate dryer for up to 75 minutes. Cottons and
heavyweight items dry best between 50 and 75 minutes, lightweight
items dry best between 20 and 40 minutes.
WRINKLE RELEASE cycle helps remove wrinkles from slightly wrinkled
items that may have been sitting in a dryer or laundry basket overnight.
The cycle has a short heat setting followed by a 5 minute COOL DOWN.

Features, Hints, and Care
Drying Times
It is impossible to give exact drying
times. Conditions from home to home
vary and directly affect drying times.
The length of time it takes to dry loads
will depend on several variables.
• Load size
• T ype of fa bric, washer, and spin
speed will determine moisture in
the fabric.
• Heat and moisture in the room.
Damp air coming into the dryer
will increase drying time.
• Installation (length of exhaust
duct, etc.).
• Electric voltage or gas pressure.
If you have an automatic cycle, you
need not worry about time. The
automatic cycle will determine the time
needed.
Here are some important items to
remember:
• In some models, the automatic cycle
does not operate as a timed cycle.
While using this feature, the cycle
dial advances as the clothes dry. the
dial may advance slowly or quickly
depending on the moisture content
of the clothes.
• Do not set the timer for a “higher”
setting than necessary. If you have a
permanent press/knit cycle, use it
for loads of permanent press, knits,
and for clothes made from, or
containing synthetic fibers. This
cycle has a longer COOL DOWN
period at the end of the cycle to
reduce wrinkling.
How to Remove Ball Point
Pen Ink Marks from the
Dryer Drum
If the ink stain is fresh, place dry rags in
the dryer. Using the hottest heat setting,
run the dryer for one hour to absorb the
ink.
If the stain is not fresh, apply household
spray or cream cleaner to a soft cloth,
and rub the stain. Then, place wet rags
in the dryer. Using the hottest heat
setting, run the dryer for one hour to
remove any cleaner residue.
Optional Drying Rack
Drying Rack, Part No. 504105, is useful for
drying items that require no-tumble drying,
such as tennis shoes, sweaters, stuffed
toys or other delicate items.
General Dryer Care
Cleaning
• Ordinarily , dryer cylinder will need no
care.
• Wipe dryer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other washing
products have been spilled on the dryer, wipe immediately . Some
products will cause permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.
• Do not allow sharp or rough objects to lean against the dryer. The finish
could be damaged.
• Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some
spray prewash products may harm the finish on the control panel.
Lint Filter
Clean lint filter after drying each load. A clean lint filter ensures efficient drying
and clothes will remain lint-free when unloading dryer. A layer of lint on the
screen will reduce air flow through the dryer and lengthen drying time. Lint
screen may be washed with soap and water if needed.
Lubrication
All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of lubricant or are equipped
with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will not be necessary .
Exhaust System
• The exhaust duct should be inspected after one year of use and cleaned
if necessary . Inspect and clean exhaust duct every one to two years as
required thereafter.
• The weather hood should be checked frequently to make sure the
dampers move freely , dampers are not pushed in and that nothing has
been set against them.
• Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion (gas dryers) and ventilation air.

satisfactory results should be obtained. Wash by the soak method with as little agitation as possible.
After washing, stretch blanket gently in both directions. Use approximately five dry bath t owels and
place them between folds in blanket. This will "cushion” it to lessen the tumbling. Set dryer for 20
minutes on the TIME DRY cycle. Use REGULAR heat setting, if it is available on your dryer. Check
blanket when timer reaches 10. Wool blankets must be removed from the dryer when damp. Stretch
gently to shape and finish drying over two clotheslines or in a flat position.
Choose heat and cycle for fabric. Filling and cover must be completely washable. Old quilts may be too
fragile to machine wash or dry. Quilts filled with cotton may become lumpy. Quilting should be close
together. Remove from dryer slightly damp and stretch gently to shape. Quilted articles may shrink if
over dried.
Material in mattress pads is made of either cotton or synthetic fibers. Read fiber content l abel, found on
your mattress pad, to determine what type of fiber was used to manufacture the pad. READ AND
CAREFULLY FOLLOW the fabric care instructions supplied by the mattress pad manufacturer. Some
pads made of synthetic fibers are very heat sensitive. These pads can be flammable if over-heated or
over-dried. TO AVOID A FIRE HAZARD, DO NOT OVER-DRY mattress pads. Remove pads from the
dryer while they are still damp.
Slip Covers
Pillows
Curtains
Draperies
Choose heat for fabric. Close zippers. Dry one couch cover, two chair covers or five or six pillow covers

Particles may remain in the dryer and rub off on the next load. This could irritate the skin. “Beta”
fiberglass may be dried in the dryer if recommended by the manufacturer.
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycles. Allow room for tumbling to prevent wrinkling. Delicate or sheer
curtains must be dried by themselves so they will not be snagged by hooks or crushed by other clothes
in the load. Some sheer curtains are heat sensitive. Dry 10 minutes only, plus the cool down period.
Remove from dryer immediately and hang. If the dryer has been heated from a previous load, NO
HEAT setting may be sufficient.
Remove hooks and weights before washing. Choose heat for fabric and allow space in the dryer for
tumbling. Some draperies may be removed when slightly damp and hung immediately. Lined draperies
should be dry-cleaned because they have a tendency to pucker.
