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
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
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.
WARNING - "Risk of Fire"
- Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer,
- install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
- Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials or flexible metal
(foil type) duct. if flexible metal duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified
by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting
materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will
obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
- To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
- Save these instructions.

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 "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation
instructions for grounding instructions.

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.
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.
[]
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.
........................Bett
[] 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. Choose Normal to save energy.
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.

DRYER CARE
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least !8 inches (460 turn) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Cleaning the dryer interior
To clean dryer drum
I. 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 wJJJ
not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside out
to avoid drum staining.
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 qualified servicer.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
fCieaning the lint screen
Every load cleanlng
The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked by
lint can increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Pull the lint screen straight 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,
biocked, 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 cleanlng
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,
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall
screen in dryer.
