To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing plastic, foam
rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials, or items containing feathers or
down. Use Air Fluff (No Heat) only.

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
CleaningCleaning

Cleaning, page 6.

CleaningCleaning

Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or
missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur. If your dryer has
a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack.

Keep area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free
from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

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.

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.

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious

bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer.

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.

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 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 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 must be plugged into a properly grounded system.

• The average load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble
freely for even drying and less wrinkling.

• When drying large items, dry only 2 or 3 at a time. Fill out the load with small
and medium sized items.

• For delicate or very small loads, add 2 lint-free towels for better drying, less
wrinkling, and to prevent grease stains caused by fabric softener sheets.

• Do not overdry items. Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinkage, harshness,
and a build-up of static electricity, which can produce more lint.

• Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous

• Clean the lint screen after every load. Lint build-up in the screen restricts air

flow, which causes longer drying times. The screen is located at the bottom of
the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace
the screen.

• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint screen from using dryer-

added fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash the lint screen in
warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer
without the lint screen 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 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 inefficient drying and possible fire hazard.
