WARNING - RISK OF FIRE
To reduce the risk of fi re, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this dryer, comply with the basic warnings
listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow these Important Safety Instructions:
PREVENT FIRE
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer
must be connected to an outdoors exhaust. Regularly
inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any
accumulation of lint around the opening and in the
surrounding area.
Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, •
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, waxes, etc. 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 fi re.
Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar ma-•
terials 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 fi re by spontaneous combustion.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The in-•
terior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct
should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by
qualifi ed service personnel. An excessive amount of lint
build-up in these areas could result in ineffi cient drying
and possible fi re. See Care and Cleaning.
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 fl ow of ventilating air. Do not stack •
or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back
of the dryer.
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer •
at any time.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate •
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
Do not continue to use the dryer is you hear squeaking, •
grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could
be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fi re or
serious injury. Contact a qualifi ed technician immedi-
ately.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in •
fi re, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to
the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 ma-•
terials 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 pre-•
vent 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.
PREVENT INJURY
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during •
operation, the dryer must be installed and electrically
grounded by a qualifi ed service person in accordance with
local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the
dryer for the installer’s reference. Refer to INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. If the
dryer is moved to a new location, have it checked and
reinstalled by a qualifi ed 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.
PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE DRYER
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 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.
All repairs and servicing must be performed by an •
authorized servicer unless specifi cally recommended in
this Owner’s Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
Do not tamper with controls.•
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be ex-•
posed to the weather.
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off the •
motor in the unlikely event of an overheated situation
(electric dryers only). A service technician must replace
the thermal limiter switch after correcting the fault.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in •
serious personal injuries.
CAUTION
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customer of potential exposure to such substances. Included in this list are soot and carbon monoxide, both of

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new
dryer:
A. WATER VALVE (Steam models only.) The fl ow of water is
controlled by electric solenoids. During operation there may
be a clicking sound as the valve opens and closes to control
the water fl ow.
B. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum is supported by a
set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping
or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may happen if
the dryer has not been in use for a period of time, or after a
heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended
period, creating a temporary fl at spot on the edge of the
roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer operates and
the fl at spots smooth out.
C. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is equipped with a high
volume air handling system. In some installations there may
be some sounds associated with air movement throughout
the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and exhaust system.
This is normal and can vary with load size and type.
D. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.) The fl ow of gas is controlled
by electric solenoids. During operation there may be a clicking
sound as the valve opens and closes to control the gas fl ow.
E. GAS BURNER (Gas models only .) When the burner is
operating, there may be sounds generated as the air fl ow
mixes with the gas fl ame. This noise is normal and will only
occur when the gas is ignited in the combustion tube.

in the same load.
Separate dark items from light-colored items. Sepa-•
rate 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 or small items in a mesh bag.•
Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof •
and won’t damage the drum fi nish. Close zippers;
fasten hooks and Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie strings
and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.
Operating Your Dryer, continued
2 Check that the lint fi lter is clean and in place.
3 Load the dryer and close the door.

fi ll 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.
To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying •
and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
When drying large items, dry only two or three •
items at a time. Fill out the load with small and
medium sized items.
For delicate or very small loads, add two or three •
similar items to improve tumbling action.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Auto Dry Cycles
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the
correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars
at the back of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of
the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto
Dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the
selected temperature to the desired dryness level.
Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics.
When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it will
continue to tumble during a cool down period. This helps
reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during
unloading.
Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of
load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry,
the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough moisture
to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few
minutes. If this occurs, select a Timed Dry cycle.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and
electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time.

CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The
dryer must be connected to an outdoors exhaust.
Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening
and remove any accumulation of lint around the
opening and in the surrounding area.
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint fi lter after every load.
IMPORTANT
Do not store or place laundry products on top of
dryer at any time. They can damage the fi nish or
controls.
WARNING
To reduce risk of fi re or serious injury to persons or property,
comply with the basic warnings listed in the Important
Safety Instructions and those listed below.
Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical •
power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer •
interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
INSIDE
Clean the lint fi lter after every load. Lint build-up on the •
fi lter restricts air fl ow, which causes longer drying times.
The fi lter is located at the bottom of the door opening. Re-
move by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace
the fi lter .
Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint fi lter •
and/or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added
fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash them
with warm, soapy water. Dry the fi lter thoroughly and
replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint fi lter in
place.
If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast •
fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild liquid
household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before drying the next load.
Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dry-•
er cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect
lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up
could result in ineffi cient drying and possible fi re hazard.
OUTSIDE
Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use •
harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers.
If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlo-•
rine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several
times with clear water.
Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of •
warm water and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the
sticky side of the tape or label.
When cleaning chrome parts use a window cleaner with •
ammonia or mild soap and water.
Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin •
fi berboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage
to the fl oor .
