Dryer Safety

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

DANGER

WARNING

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

follow instructions.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

instructions.

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.

WARNING:

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property damage.

–

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable 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.

•

Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.

•

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 fire department.

•

–

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

Check Your Vent System for Good Air Flow

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 fire.

Good air ﬂow

Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently 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.

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 ﬂow by:

■ Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

■ 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.

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 of the dryer.

Use Automatic Dry/Sensor Dry cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Automatic Dry/Sensor Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Dry/Sensor Dry cycles, drying air temperature or moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. The Energy Preferred cycle will provide optimal energy savings.

With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

Control Panel & Features

2 31

Not all features and options are available on all models.

DRYER CYCLE KNOB

Use your Dryer Cycle Knob to select available cycles on your dryer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

TIMED DRY

Will run the dryer for the specied time on the control. 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.

AUTOMATIC DRY/SENSOR DRY

Senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. Gives the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time will vary based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting.

Appearance may vary.

TEMPERATURE

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.

PUSH TO START/END OF CYCLE SIGNAL

The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is nished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.

Turn the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL knob to select the desired setting (On or Off). Press the PUSH TO START knob to start the dryer.

Using Your Dryer

WARNING

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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this dryer.

Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping.

1. Clean the lint screen

3. Select the desired cycle

Clean the lint screen before each load. Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint off the screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Push the lint screen rmly back into place. For additional cleaning information, see “Dryer Care”.

2. Load the dryer

Place laundry in the dryer. Close the door. Do not tightly pack the dryer; clothes should be able to tumble freely.

NOTE: Your model may have a different door than the one shown. Some models have drop down doors.

Select the desired cycle for your load. See the Cycle Guide for more information about each cycle.

AUTOMATIC DRY/SENSOR DRY CYCLES

You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by turning the knob to dryness level.

Selecting Very Dry, ENERGY PREFERRED, or Less Dry automatically adjusts the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a dry level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.

AUTOMATIC DRY/SENSOR DRY cycles give the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting.

4. Set cycle settings and options

Select cycle settings and options by turning the knob to the desired position.

NOTE: Not all options and settings are available with all cycles.

5. Select End of Cycle Signal

(depending on model)

CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR

To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a liquid, nonammable household cleaner to the

stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until stain is removed.

2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim

blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside out to avoid drum staining.

Turn the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL knob to select the desired setting (On or Off). The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is nished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.

6. Press PUSH TO START to begin

Dryer Care

CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION

REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT

From inside the dryer cabinet

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualied servicer.

From the exhaust vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.

CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

1. Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint off the

screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

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.

2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.
