Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Turn on power.

Remove any protective film or tape remaining on the dryer. NOTE: Glass door models have a protective film on the

window that should be removed.

10. Read "Dryer Use."

11. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

12. If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is recommended to control the buildup of scale through the

water system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime scale may clog different parts of the water system, which will

reduce product performance. Excessive scale buildup may lead to the need for certain part replacement or repair.

13. Test dryer operation by selecting a Timed Dry heated cycle and starting the dryer. For this test, do not select the Air Only

modifier. If the dryer will not start, check the following:

Dryer is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Electrical supply is connected.

Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has not tripped.

• Dryer door is closed.

14. When the dryer has been running for 5 minutes, open the dryer door and feel for heat. If you feel heat, cancel cycle and

close door. If you do not feel heat, turn off the dryer and check that the gas supply line shutoff valve is open.

• If the gas supply line shutoff valve is closed, open it, then

repeat the 5-minute test as outlined above.

• If the gas supply line shutoff valve is open, contact a

qualified technician.

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.

This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the cycles and features described.

Follow these basic steps to start your dryer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.

1. Clean lint screen before each load. See "Cleaning the Lint Screen."

2. Place laundry into dryer and shut door.

3. Press POWER.

4. Turn the cycle selector knob to the desired cycle. The preset

settings for Auto Dry Cycles or Timed Cycles will illuminate. The estimated (Auto Dry Cycles) or actual (Timed Cycles)

cycle time (in minutes) will show in the display. NOTE: A default time is displayed when an Auto Dry Cycle is

selected. During the first few minutes of the drying process, the cycle time may automatically vary from the default time based on the size and fabric type of the load. Toward the end

of the drying process, the estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time.

Dual Action Drying System

The Dual Action Drying system uses two motors: one to tumble your clothes and another to provide the best airflow

for drying your load. Your dryer senses and adapts to the load you are drying, your cycle settings and your installation setup

by varying the blower motor speed. Your dryer will continuously adjust throughout the drying cycle.

When a cycle begins, you will hear the clothes tumbling, followed by the Dual Action blower motor starting.

Throughout the cycle, you may hear the sound of airflow increasing or decreasing. This sound is normal.

To use an Auto Dry Cycle

• Press POWER.

• Select an Auto Dry Cycle. Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the

load. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected dryness level.

The default dryness setting is Normal when an Auto Dry Cycle is selected. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing DRYNESS LEVEL and choosing More, Normal or Less. Selecting More, Normal or Less automatically adjusts the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.

Select the desired Options.

To make changes during an Auto Dry Cycle:

• Press STOR

• Adjust Dryness Level.

NOTE: Dryness Level selections can be made only while

using Auto Dry Cycles.

If an Auto Dry Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Timed Cycle is running, the display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.

Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on the load size and dryness level.

Drying tips

• Follow care label directions when they are available•

• If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.

• To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.
