DRYER SAFETY
IMPORTANT: When discarding or storing your old clothes dryer, remove the door.
2
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.

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 flow to efficiently
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 flow.
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.
■ Replacing plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
■ Using the shortest length of vent possible.
■ Using no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air flow.
Good Better
■ Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
■ Removing 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 final product check.
■ Clearing away items from the front of the dryer.
USE AUTO DRY CYCLES FOR
BETTER FABRIC CARE AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Use the Auto Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Auto Dry cycles,
drying air temperature and 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.
With Timed Dry cycle, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
overdrying. Use Timed Dry cycle for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.
Auto Dry cycles give the best drying in the shortest time. Drying
time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness
setting.
NOTE: More Dry removes more load moisture. Normal Dry is
used for a starting point for Auto Dry cycles. Less Dry removes
less moisture and is used for loads you may want to put on a
hanger to complete drying.
4. Set temperature (on some models)
Turn the CYCLE SIGNAL knob to select the desired setting
(On or Off). The Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when
the drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the
end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.

Press and hold the PUSH TO START button to begin the cycle.
Promptly remove garments after cycle has completed to
reduce wrinkling. The Wrinkle Guard™ function at the end of
the cycle avoids wrinkling when you are unable to remove a
load from the dryer as soon as it stops.
DRYER CARE
Cleaning the dryer location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block
the air flow for proper dryer operation. This includes
clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.
Cleaning the dryer interior
To clean dryer drum
1. Apply a liquid, nonflammable 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.
Removing accumulated lint
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 fingers. Do not rinse or wash
screen to remove lint.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
■ Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
■ If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See
“Venting Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up
on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times
for your clothes or cause the dryer to stop before your load
is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls
off while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or
more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.
Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
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 qualified servicer.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall
screen in dryer.
