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, drycleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.

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 the
Installation Instructions. See the Installation Instructions for more
information.
WARNING
1. Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4" (10.2 cm)
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 the
Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of
vent.
4"
10.2 cm
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.
If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be
covered under the warranty. Proper venting of your dryer is
important for satisfactory drying results. See the Installation
Instructions for more detail.
NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for
by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or selfinstalled.
2. Use a 4" (10.2 cm) exhaust hood.
3. Use the straightest path possible when routing the vent.
Good Better
4. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or
other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the
vent to secure vent.
5. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at
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.

DRYER USE
Starting 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.
This booklet covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the cycles and features described.
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to
remove dust from storing and shipping.
1. Clean lint screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint
Screen.”
2. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not
pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.
3. Turn the Cycle Selector Control to the recommended cycle
for the type of load being dried. ENERGY PREFERRED
automatic dry settings are indicated by an asterisk (*) on the
timer dial, next to the words NORMAL DRY. Use this Normal
Dry cycle to dry most heavy- to medium-weight fabrics.
4. Set the Temperature control to the recommended setting for
the type of fabric being dried. See Dryer Cycle Descriptions
(separate sheet) for temperature suggestions.
5. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a WRINKLE GUARD
feature selector. When you are unable to remove a load from
the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. This feature
periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load without
heat to help avoid wrinkling.
6. (OPTIONAL) If you want the dryer to sound a signal when the
cycle is finished, set the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL control to
ON, or to the volume level you prefer (on some models). The
signal is helpful when you are drying permanent press,
synthetics and other items that should be removed from the
dryer as soon as it stops.
7. If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
8. Press PUSH TO START.

WARNING
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.
Stopping and Restarting
You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.
To stop your dryer
Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Selector Control to OFF.
NOTE: The Cycle Selector Control should point to an Off area
when the dryer is not in use.
To re st art yo ur d rye r
1. Close the door.
2. Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired).
3. Press the PUSH TO START button.
How Automatic Drying Works
During the Automatic Drying Cycle, the exhaust temperature of
the dryer determines the drying time and dryness levels. A
thermostat signals the Cycle Control Knob when to move into
Cool Down. The drying time for an Automatic Drying Cycle
depends on load type and load size. When drying a large or
heavy load, the Cycle Control Knob may take a long time before it
begins to advance into Cool Down. Automatic Drying Cycle takes
the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care. The
amount of time that is displayed is the estimated time remaining
in the cycle.

Dryer Rack Option
Use the dryer rack to dry items such as sweaters and pillows
without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move.
If your model does not have a dryer rack, you may be able to
purchase one. To find out whether your model allows dryer rack
usage and to obtain ordering information, please refer to the back
page of this manual or contact the dealer from whom you
purchased your dryer.
NOTE: You must remove dryer rack for normal tumbling. Do not
use automatic cycles with the dryer rack.
TUMBLE FREE™ Non-Heated Dryer Rack
Use with 29" (73.7 cm) wide dryers. Air circulates in a
concentrated pattern over and around clothes to allow efficient
and uniform drying.
TUMBLE FREE™ Heated Dryer Rack
Use with 27" (69 cm) wide dryers. Air circulates in a concentrated
pattern over, under and through clothes, significantly reducing
drying time.
To use the dryer rack:
1. 29" (73.7 cm) Wide Dryer
Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer.
Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.
DRYER CARE
27" (69 cm) Wide Dryer
Do not remove lint screen. Slide dryer rack over the bottom of
the dryer door opening. Push down to secure it on the frame.
2. Put wet items on the rack. Leave space between items so air
can reach all surfaces. Do not allow items to hang over the
edge of the rack. Close the door.
3. Select cycle and temperature to match the fabrics in your
load. Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried
on a clothesline or by using an air cycle. Refer to the following
table.
4. Start the dryer. Reset time to complete drying, if needed.

Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Clean lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
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.
Every Load Cleaning
Style 1:
1. The lint screen is located on top of the dryer. Pull the lint
screen toward you. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to
remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
