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.
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to
a chemical reaction that could cause a Ioad to catch fire.
m Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or

SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS
WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize
the risk of fire or explosion, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.
- 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.
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 your
Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion
and ventilation air. See the Installation Instructions for more
information.
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent,
Do not use a pmasticvent,
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.
NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for
by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or self-
installed.
1. Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in. (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 your
Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of vent.
2. Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood.
3. Use the straightest path possible when routing the vent.
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.

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.
f. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not
pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.
2. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for the
type of load being dried. Use the Energy Preferred Setting,
called out by an asterisk (*), to dry most heavy to medium
weight fabrics.
3. Set the TEMPERATURE selector, to the recommended setting
for the type of fabric being dried. See "Cycle Descriptions"
(a separate sheet) for temperature suggestions.
4. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an EXTRA CARE 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.
5. (OPTIONAL) If you want the dryer to sound a signal when the
cycle is finished, set the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL selector 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.
6. If desired, add fabric softener sheet. Use only those labeled as
dryer safe. Follow package instructions.
7. Push the START button.

rack usage and for ordering information, please refer to the front
page of your manual or contact the dealer from whom you
purchased your dryer.

use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.

the back wall of the dryer. Lower the front legs to rest on the
dryer opening.

Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. Close
the door.

clothesline or by using an air cycle. Refer to the following
table.
