IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic
WARNING:
precautions, including the following:
■ Read all instructions before using the dryer.
■ 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.
■ Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable,
or explosive substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
■ Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the dryer is used near children.
■ Before the dryer is removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
■ Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
■ Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published
user-repair instructions that you understand and have
the skills to carry out.
■ Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
■ Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
■ Clean lint screen before or after each load.
■ Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,
dust, and dirt.
■ The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
■ See installation instructions for grounding require-
ments.

CHECKING
YOUR VENT
Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve
maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the
minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your
Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion
and ventilation air. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more
information.
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 fire.
DRYER USE
Starting Your Dryer
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything
flammable on it (even after washing).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, explosion, or fire.
If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be
covered under the warranty.
Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for
NOTE:
by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or selfinstalled.
Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in. (10.2 cm)
1.
metal or flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush flexible
metal vent. It must be completely extended to allow adequate
exhaust air to flow. Check vent after installation. Refer to your
Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of
vent.
Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood.
2.
Use the straightest path possible when routing the vent.
3.
Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or
4.
other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the
vent to secure vent.
Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at
5.
least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new
location. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the
Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final
product check.
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of
oil on it (including cooking oils).
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be
dried on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to
remove dust from storing and shipping.

Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.
Drying tips
■
Follow care label directions when they are available.
■
If you use fabric softener sheets, use only those labeled
“dryer safe.” Follow package instructions.
■
Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops, to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Cycle and temperature tips
■
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred setting, if available
on your dryer.
■
Use a High heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as
towels and work clothes.
■

such as sheets, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and
some knits.
■
Use a Low heat setting for drying lightweight items such as
lingerie, blouses, dresses, and some knits.
■
Use a no-heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive
fabrics.
■
