Definitions
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
DANGER
DANGER indicates an imminently haz­ardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially haz­ardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazard­ous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
IMPORTANT
Indicates installation, operation, or main­tenance information which is important but not hazard-related.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this dryer, comply with the basic warn­ings listed below. Failure to comply with the Important Safety Instruction warn­ings could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Prevent Fire
• DO NOT dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, or other flammable or explosive substances. DO NOT store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• DO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• DO NOT dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar materials such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circum­stances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
• DO NOT operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of ventilating air. DO NOT stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the dryer.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An exces­sive amount of lint build-up in these ar­eas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire. See
Care and Cleaning
.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an outdoor exhaust. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the opening and in the surrounding area.
• DO NOT spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time.
5
• DO NOT use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
WARNING
DO NOT continue to use the dryer if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or oth­er unusual noises. This could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified tech- nician immediately.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the dryer.
Protect Children
• DO NOT allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bed­spreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
• Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned washer and dryers are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old washer or dryer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Contact your State/Provence Energy Office, Local Electric and Water Utilities or Conservation Program Office or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old washer or dryer.
Before you throw away your old washer or dryer:
• Remove doors
• Remove the electric power cord
• Secure all hoses and drain pipes to prevent water from Leaking out and creating a slip hazard.
Prevent Injury
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the dryer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the dryer for the installer’s reference. Refer to for detailed grounding procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to the dryer, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer must be plugged into a proper­ly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never be removed. Never ground the dryer to a gas pipe. DO NOT use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
• ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or injury.
• DO NOT use any type of spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
• To prevent injury, DO NOT reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely before reaching into the drum.

Operating Instructions
Operating Your Dryer
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this
Use & Care Guide
before operating your dryer.
9
WARNING
DO NOT operate dryer without lint filter in place.
STEPS
1. Prepare load for drying.
2. Check that the lint filter is clean and in place.
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and con­struction in the same load.
• Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.
• Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently set some stains.
• Place delicate, rubber coated, or small items in a mesh bag (not included).
• Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heat­proof and won’t damage the drum finish. Close zippers; fasten hooks and loop fasten­ers. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snag­ging and tangling.
TIPS IMPORTANT
WARNING
Clean the lint filter after every load.
DO NOT machine wash items contain­ing fiberglass. Small particles of fiberglass left in drum may transfer to fabrics in other loads and cause skin irritation and/or damage to fabrics.
DO NOT wash water resistant and water repellent type cloth­ing or other materials.
DO NOT operate dryer without lint filter in place.
3. Load the dryer and close the door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.
• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• When drying large items, dry only two or three items at a time. Fill out the load with smaller items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three similar items to improve tumbling ac­tion.
DO NOT overload the dryer. To save en­ergy, time and avoid uneven drying and wrinkling avoid over­loading the dryer.
DO NOT over-dry. Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint, and a build up of static electricity.
