WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize
the risk of re or explosion, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.
– Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance.
– WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
Do not try to light any appliance.
•
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
•
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the re department.
– Installation and service must be performed by a qualied installer, service agency, or
the gas supplier.
•
Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.
WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell.
Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA.
For more information, contact your gas supplier.
If a gas leak is detected, follow the “What to do if you smell gas” instructions.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or re.
Check Your Vent System for Good Air Flow
Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently dry
laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve
your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good air
ow.
Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter ■
heavy, rigid vent material.
Use the shortest length of vent possible. ■
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each ■
bend and curve reduces air ow.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the
warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who
installed the dryer.
Maintain Good Air ow by:
Cleaning your lint screen before each load. ■
Good Better
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood. ■
Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least ■
every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow
the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for nal
product check.
Clear away items from the front the dryer. ■

CONTROL PANEL
Not all features and options are available on all models.
Appearance may vary.
Cycle Selector (Timer) Control
Automatic Dry/Auto Sense Dry
The Automatic Dry cycle takes the guesswork out of drying time
and enhances fabric care. The Automatic Dry cycle may be used for
most loads.
The Cycle Selector (Timer) control may be set to ENERGY
PREFERRED, which is good for most fabrics. At the end of the cycle,
you may check the dryness of the load.
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Less ■
Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
If the load is not as dry as you want, select a Timed cycle to ■
complete drying and the next time you dry a similar load,
choose a setting closer to Very Dry.
Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to the type of
fabric, size of load, and temperature setting. On some models, the
temperature is included in the cycle selections.
WRINKLE PREVENT (on some models)
The WRINKLE PREVENT features will run after your drying cycle
is complete. It periodically starts and stops the dryer, tumbling the
load without heat to help avoid wrinkling.
On some models, WRINKLE PREVENT automatically starts at the
end of the cycle. Opening the door will stop this feature. On other
models, you can set the WRINKLE PREVENT selector knob
to ON.
NOTE: A signal will sound periodically when the WRINKLE
PREVENT setting is selected, but only if the End of Cycle signal is
also selected.
Timed Dry
On some models, temperature is included in the cycle selections.
On models with a selectable temperature knob, you may choose
a setting based on the fabrics in your load. Drying time and
temperature will depend on your dryer model.
Temperature Control
(on some models)
You may select a drying temperature based on the fabrics in your
load. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, select
the lower setting rather than the higher setting.
Temperature Tips
If your dryer has multiple heat settings:
A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight items ■
such as towels and work clothes.
A Low to Medium heat setting may be used for drying medium- ■
weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses, underwear,
permanent press fabrics, lingerie, and some knits.
You may use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat- ■
sensitive fabrics.
Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics. ■
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various
loads, refer to the care label directions.
End of Cycle Signal
(on some models)
The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete. On
some models, the End of Cycle Signal is xed. On others, the
End of Cycle Signal is selectable and the signal will sound only
if set to On.
If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is selected and the End of Cycle
Signal is on, the signal sounds every few minutes. The signal stops
when you open the door or turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.

recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried. See
“Cycle Guide” for temperature suggestions. On some models,
temperature is included in the cycle selections.
5. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a Wrinkle Prevent feature
selector. Use this to avoid wrinkling when you are unable to
remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops.

DRYER CARE
Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the
air ow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of
laundry in front of the dryer.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Clean lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
IMPORTANT:
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, ■
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check ■
the exhaust hood and remove the lint. The exhaust hood is
located where the dryer air exits your home.
Every Load Cleaning
