What you need to know about safety instructions

Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur.Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised when installing,maintaining or operating appliance.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.

CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury.

liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed. There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as: acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

• Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not tamper with controls. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in

published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended for dryer use by the manufac-

turer of the fabric softener or product. Clean the lint screen before or after each load. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint accumulation, dust and dirt. The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded

adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance. Do not sit on top of the clothes dryer.

WARNING: Do not place into your dryer items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or

cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these oils. The remaining oil can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous ignition increases when the items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat sources, such as your clothes dryer, can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire hazard.

All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous. Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but will not eliminate,the hazard. Always use the “cool down” cycle for these items to reduce the items’ temperature. Never remove these items from the clothes dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run through the “cool down” cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they are hot.

WARNING: Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be

detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install an UL approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

DRYER EXHAUST TIPS

WARNING: Plastic or nonmetal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.

Let your dryer exhaust the air easily.

Read the installation instructions

and the user guide.

Use 4 inch diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including at the dryer. Never use lint-trapping screws.

Keep duct runs as straight as possible.

Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer.Be sure vent flap opens and closes freely. Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.

DON’T

Restrict your dryer with a poor exhaust system.

Let a poor exhaust system

cause slow drying.

Use plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.

Use longer than necessary duct runs with many elbows.

Allow crushed or clogged ducts and vent.

CLEAN THE LINT FILTER

OPERATING TIPS

• After each load.

• To shorten drying time.

• To operate more energy efficiently.

NOTE:Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

,,,,,,

LOAD THE DRYER PROPERLY

• By placing only one wash load in the dryer at a time.

• Avoid very small loads or mixing heavyweight and lightweight clothes.

• When only one or two articles need drying, add a few similar items to improve tumbling and drying efficiency.

• When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or comforter, it may be necessary to reposition the load during the cycle to ensure even drying.

ADD A FABRIC SOFTENER SHEET (IF DESIRED)

• After loading the dryer.

• To control static cling.

• Before the load becomes warm. This helps prevent greasy-looking softener stains.

• And remove any used softener sheets from the dryer to prevent greasy-looking softener stains.

Control Panel – clean with a soft,damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances. Do not spray cleaner directly on the panel.

Tumbler – remove any stains such as crayon, ink pen or fabric dye (from new items such as towels or jeans) with an all-purpose cleaner. Then tumble old towels or rags to remove any excess stain or cleaning substance. Once these steps are done, stains may still be visible, but should not transfer to subsequent loads.

Cabinet – wipe off any marks with soap and water.

Dryer Exhaust System – should be inspected and cleaned

once a year to maintain optimum performance. The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.(Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.)

1) Unplug or disconnect the dryer from the electrical power supply.

2) Open the door and use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw attaching the lens to the tumbler front.

3) Remove lens cover by pulling cover toward center of tumbler.

4) Rotate bulb counter-clockwise to remove from socket.

5) Replace the bulb with a 120 volt, 10 watt maximum candelabra base light bulb.

BEFORE YOU CALL

• Be sure the door is latched shut.

• Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.

• Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.

• Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the cycle.

• Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.

• Select a heat setting, not air fluff.

• On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on.

• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.

• Dryer may have moved into the cool-down portion of the cycle.

• Check all of the above, plus...

• Be sure the exhaust hood at the outside of the home can open and close freely.

• Check exhaust system for lint build-up. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.

• Use 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.

• Do not overload. 1 Wash load = 1 Dryer load.

• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.

• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even drying.

• Check that the washer is draining properly to extract adequate water from the load.

• Clothes load too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.

• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.

• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.

• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation manual.

• Be sure the rubber feet are installed on the leveling legs.

• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and exhaust system.

• Seams, pockets and other similar heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the “Very Dry” setting if desired.

• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load,such as one towel with sheets,it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.

• Household odors such as from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air.This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler and exhausts it to the outside.When these odors are present in the air, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.

• The contrast may need to be adjusted by pressing “Help” then selecting “Select Preferences”. Touch “Change Monitor Contrast” and then move the block to the left or right to improve the visual quality of the touchscreen.
