Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when using your dryer, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion: a.
Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is s liquids or solids, should not be placed in the dryer, until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed. There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as: acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
b. Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled
latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
3.
Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is

Important Safety Notice & Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to c reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substance
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low–level exposure to some of the listed substance formaldehyde, and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Exhaust duct free of obstructions and properly exhausted dryers will minimize exposure.

This cycle can be used to regulate the drying time. Use with Air Fluff, Delicate or Regular temperature settings. For timed drying, turn the control dial until the pointer points to the proper time setting in the Time Dry cycle.
Note: Using the Air Fluff temperature setting will
require a longer drying time.

Operating Tips
Clean the Lint Filter
• After each load.
• To shorten drying time.
• To operate more energy efficiently.
Note: Do not operate the dryer without the lint
filter in place.
Load the Dryer Properly
• Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.
• Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will dry differently. Lightweight clothes will dry, while heavy clothes may be damp.
• Add one or more similar items to the dryer when only one or two articles need drying. This improves the tumbling action and drying efficiency.
• Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some fabrics.
• When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or comforter, it may be necessary to reposition the load during the cycle to ensure even drying.
Accessories
Optional Drying Rack
Select dryer models are equipped with a drying rack. The drying rack is useful for drying items that require no tumble drying, such as tennis shoes, sweaters, stuffed toys or other delic

Care & Cleaning
Control Panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
Tumbler
Remove any stains such as crayon, ink pen or fabric dye from new items (such as towels or jeans) with an all-purpose cleaner. Then tumble old towels or rags to remove any excess stain or cleaning substance. Once these steps are done, stains may still be visible, but should not transfer to subsequent loads.
Cabinet
Wipe off any marks with soap and water. Use an appliance wax once a year if desired.
Dryer Exhaust System
Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum performance. The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation. (Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.)
Special Laundry Tips
Please follow the care label or manufacturer’s instructions for drying special items. If care label instructions are not available, use the following information as a guide.

• Be sure the door is shut.
• Check to make sure the electrical cord is plugged in.
• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.
• Push the control dial
• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.
• Select a heat setting, not air fluff.
• Check that the gas supply is on for gas dryers.
• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
• Dryer timer may have moved into the cool-down portion of the cycle.
Check all of the above, plus . . .
• Check the exhaust hood outside the house, make sure it opens and closes freely.
• Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.
• Use rigid 4” metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Check the washer to be sure it is draining properly to extract water from the load.
• Clothes load is too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
• Check the load for objects such as coins, nails, etc. Remove promptly from dryer.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
• The dryer should be level and installed on a solid floor.
• A clicking noise may be the timer advancing.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and exhaust system.

• This is normal operation for an Auto Dry or Sensor cycle, especially at the beginning of cycle. Once the load begins to dry, the control knob will start to advance. The rate of advancement will be slow at the beginning of the cycle because there is more moisture in the load. As the load becomes more dry, the control knob will advance more quickly.
• Seams, pockets and other similar heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the setting if desired. If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheet

• Household odors such as from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler and exhausts it to the outside. When these odors are present in the air, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.
