IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the dryer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in
your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils
may contribute to 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, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable,
or explosive substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the dryer is used near children.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the door to the drying compart-
ment.
• Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recom-
mended in this Use and Care Guide or 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 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 Installation Instructions for grounding require-
ments.

NOTE: The drawings in this book may vary from your dryer. They are designed to show all of the models covered by this book.
Your dryer may not include all features.
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 your
Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion
and ventilation air. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more
information.
3.
The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left, right, or
straight out the back of the dryer. Space requirements are
listed in your Installation Instructions.
4. Use the straightest path possible when routing the exhaust
vent. Use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Allow
room when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent
gradually to avoid kinking.
bet!__
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.
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.
(10 2 era)
2. Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood. Smaller hoods increase
drying times.
5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use screws to secure
vent. Lint may catch on screws.
6.
Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at
least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new
location.
• Disconnect vent from the dryer and clean one section at a
time until you reach the exhaust hood.
• To clean out lint, use the hose attachment on your
vacuum, or a pole or wire with a feather duster or rag
attached.
• Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent moves
freely.
• When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the
Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final
product check.

Drying tips
• Follow care label directions when they are available.
• If you use fabric softener sheets, use only those labeled
"dryer safe." Follow package instructions.
• Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops, to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Cycle and temperature tips
• Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic
Setting (.), if available on your dryer.
• Use a High Heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as
towels and work clothes.
• Use a Medium Heat setting for drying medium weight items,
such as sheets, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and
some knits.
• Use a Low Heat setting for drying lightweight items such as
lingerie, blouses, dresses, and some knits.
• Use a no-heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive
fabrics.
• Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for
various loads, refer to the care label directions. If you are unsure
of the temperature to select for a load, select a lower setting
rather than a higher setting.
CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS
This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may vary
from the model shown and may not have all of the cycles and
features described.

Use the automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer uses the
AUTO SENSE DRY automatic control that senses the moisture in
the load and shuts off the dryer when the selected dryness is
reached. The Cycle Control knob does not move until the load is
almost dry. After the cool down, the knob automatically turns to
an Off area and tumbling stops.
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (,).
• If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
• If the load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using the
Timed Dry cycle. The next time you dry a similar load, select a
setting closer to Very Dry.
NOTE: Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to
the type of fabric, size of load, and temperature setting. See
"Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips."
Use the Timed Dry cycle to complete drying if items are still
damp after the automatic cycle.
Timed Dry is also useful for:
• Heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads and work
clothes and large loads that require a long drying time. Set
the Temperature selector to High heat or to a setting that
matches the care label directions.
• Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and knits that
require a short drying time. Set the Temperature selector at
Low heat.
NOTE: Drying time and temperature will depend on your dryer
model.
Max Dry
Select this setting to evenly dry large or heavy items, such as
thick cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector, if
available, to High heat.
Damp Dry
Select this setting to dry items to a damp level or dry items that
do not require an entire drying cycle. Damp dry items such as
jeans (to prevent stiffness) or cotton clothes (to make pressing
easier). Set the Temperature selector, if available, to High heat.
Wrinkle Free
Use this setting to remove wrinkles from items, such as clothes
packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left inthe dryer
too long. Set the Temperature selector, if available, at Low or
Medium heat, depending on the fabrics in your load.

items you would not necessarily want to tumble dry or that you
would normally line dry (for example, tennis shoes, pillows,
stuffed toys).
To use the drying rack
1. Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer.
Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.
*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
When using No Heat/Fluff
• Check to see that coverings are securely stitched.

WRINKLE PREVENT TM feature
When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer
as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE PREVENT
feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load
without heat for up to 45 minutes. During this cycle, the dryer
stops tumbling and then begins to tumble again. This stop and
start process is repeated until the end of the cycle. A signal will
sound periodically when the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is on, if
the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The signal and the tumbling
will end when you open the dryer door, or turn the Cycle Control
knob to Off.
• On some models, the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is
automatic and activates at the end of the cycle if you do not
open the dryer door within a few minutes after the cycle ends.
• On some models, you can turn the WRINKLE PREVENT
feature On or Off.
End of Cycle Signal
If the End of Cycle Signal is On, the signal sounds when a cycle is
complete. If the WRINKLE PREVENTfeature is on, the signal sounds
every few minutes. The signal stops when you open the door.
END OF CYCLE SIGNAL
2. Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between
the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the door.
NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.
3. Select the Timed Dry or No Heat/Fluff cycle. Items containing
foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by
using an air cycle.
4. Push the START button.
NOTE: You must remove rack for normal tumbling. Do not use
the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
This chart shows examples of items that can be rack dried and
