To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock,
or injury to persons when using this laundry
center, comply with the basic warnings
listed below. Failure to comply with these
Important Safety Instructions and warnings
could result in serious personal injuries or
death.
Prevent Fire
• DO NOT wash or dry items that have
been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. DO
NOT store these items on or near the
washer. These substances give off vapors
or chemical reactions that could ignite or
explode.
• DO NOT put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the laundry center. These
substances give off vapors that could
ignite the materials.
• DO NOT add gasoline, cleaning solvents,
or other ammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances
give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for 2 weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If
the hot water system has not been used
for such a period, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water ow from each
for several minutes BEFORE using the
washer. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is ammable; DO NOT smoke or use an open ame
during this time.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other
ammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
• 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 re. To reduce the risk of re
due to contaminated loads, the nal 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.
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 circum-
stances produce re by spontaneous
combustion.
• Clean the lint lter before or after each
load. The interior of the dryer, lint
lter housing, and exhaust duct
should be cleaned approximately
every 18 months by qualied service
personnel. An excessive amount of lint
build-up in these areas could result in
inefcient drying and possible re.
Care and Cleaning
• DO NOT operate the dryer if the lint lter
is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating, and damage to fabrics
can occur.
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.
• DO NOT obstruct the 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 laundry
center if you hear squeaking, grinding,
rubbing or other unusual noises. This
could be a sign of mechanical breakdown
and lead to re or serious injury. Contact

Drying Procedures
DRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or
injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this
Guide
before operating your dryer.
Use and Care
CAUTION
• DO NOT operate dryer without lint lter
in place.
• ALWAYS clean lter after each load.
STEPS TIPS IMPORTANT
1. Prepare load
for drying.
2. Check that
the lint lter
is clean and
in place.
3. Load the
dryer and
close the
door.
4. Select the
cycle and
settings for
each load.
5. Start the
dryer.
6. Remove
items when
cycle is
completed.
• 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.
• Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag (not
included).
• Be sure buckles, buttons, and trim are heatproof and
won’t damage the drum nish. Close zippers, buttons,
hooks, and hook and loop fasteners. Tie strings and
sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will 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.
• 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.
• See
Drying Cycle Selection
on the following pages.
• Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint, harshness, and build up of static electricity.
• If drying a single large or bulky item, such as a
comforter, remove the item part way through the
cycle and turn it “inside out” to maximize drying effectiveness. Place item back in dryer and re-start cycle.
• See
Drying Cycle Controls (Start, Pause, and Cancel)

Auto Dry Cycles
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of
selecting the correct drying time for each load.
With auto dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature. When
the load has neared the end of the drying
cycle, it will continue to tumble for a brief cool
down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and
makes items easier to handle during unloading.
Drying time varies depending on size of load,
dampness of load, and fabric type.
Available auto dry settings are as follows:
16
Normal
Select this cycle to dry everyday fabrics including cottons, linens, and sheets.
Bulky
Select this cycle for bulky items such as
comforters, blankets, mattress pads, sleeping
bags, and other similar items.
Delicates
Select this cycle to dry cottons, blends, and
permanent press items with a no-iron nish.
Activewear
Select this specialty cycle to dry lightweight
synthetic athletic apparel including stretch
fabrics.

rubber, plastics similarly textured, rubberlike materials. Use a Timed Dry cycle with
the Air Dry setting.
Quick Dry
Select this timed cycle to quickly dry a small
load made up of just a few items. It provides
approximately 25 minutes of tumbling including a cool down period.
Timed Dry

CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
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.
FIRE HAZARD
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint lter after every load.
WARNING
To reduce risk of re or serious injury to
persons or property, comply with the basic
warnings listed in the Important Safety
Instructions and in this
section.
Care and Cleaning
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD /
HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD
Before cleaning the laundry center interior,
unplug the electrical power cord to avoid
electrical shock hazards.
Cleaning Inside of Dryer
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD /
HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD
DO NOT use any type spray cleanser when
cleaning the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes
or electrical shock could occur.
• Clean the lint lter after every load. Lint
build-up on the lter restricts air ow,
which causes longer drying times. The
lter is located at the bottom of the door
opening. Remove by pulling straight up.
Remove the lint and replace the lter.
• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form
on the lint lter from using dryer-added
fabric softener sheets. To remove this
build-up, wash the lter with warm,
soapy water. Dry the lter thoroughly
and replace. DO NOT operate the dryer
without the lint lter in place.
• If the dryer drum becomes stained from
non colorfast 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 a qualied service
personnel should clean the dryer
cabinet interior and exhaust duct.
These areas can collect lint and dust
over time. An excessive amount of
lint build-up could result in inefcient drying and possible re hazard.
Cleaning Inside of Washer
• Remove items from the washer as soon
as the cycle ends. Excess wrinkling, color
transfer, and odors may develop in items
left in the washer.
• Dry the washer top, the area around the
lid opening, and the underside of the lid.
These areas should always be dry before
the lid is closed.
• Before cleaning the washer interior,
unplug the electrical power cord to avoid
electrical shock hazards.
• When extremely soiled items have been
washed, a dirty residue may remain on
the tub. Remove this by wiping the tub
with a nonabrasive household cleanser.
Rinse thoroughly with water.
19
Page 20
CARE AND CLEANING
• The base plate or tub may become
stained from fabric dye. Clean these parts
with a nonabrasive household cleanser.
This prevents dye transfer to future loads.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT store or place laundry products on
top of laundry center at any time. They can
damage the nish or controls.
Cleaning Outside of Laundry
Center
• When washing is completed, wipe top
and sides of laundry center with a damp
cloth. Turn water faucets off to prevent
pressure build-up in the hoses.
• Clean the cabinet with mild soap and
water. Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive
cleansers
• If the cabinet becomes stained, clean
with diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach
to 8 parts water). Rinse several times
with clear water.
• When cleaning chrome parts, it is best to
use only a damp cloth.
• Remove glue residue from tape or labels
with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent. Or, touch residue with the
sticky side of tape.
• Before moving the laundry center, place
a strip of cardboard or thin berboard
under the front leveling legs to prevent
damage to the oor.
Winterizing Instructions
IMPORTANT
