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, or 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 discarded,

remove the door to the drying compartment. [] 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 recommended 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 rubberqike 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 "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation

instructions for grounding instructions.

iMPORTANT: When discarding or storing your old clothes dryer, remove the door.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Maintain good air flow by:

[] Cleaning your lint screen before each load. [] Replace plastic or foil vent material

with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

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.

[] Use the shortest length of vent possible. [] Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces air flow.

Good air flow

Along with heat, dryers require good air flow to efficiently

dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve your energy savings. See Installation

Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role

in good air flow. Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered

by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who installed the dryer.

[]

Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

[]

Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be

sure to follow the "Installation Instructions" supplied with your dryer for final product check.

[]

Clear away items from in front of the dryer.

Use Eco Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Eco Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Eco Cycles, drying air

temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

With Timed Dry Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to

over-drying. Use Timed Dry Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer

DRYER CARE

CLEANING THE LiNT SCREEN

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the air flow for proper dryer operation. This includes

I LEANING THE DRYER LOCATION I

clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 ram) above the floor

for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

CLEANING THE DRYER iNTERiOR

To clean dryer drum

1. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low concentration with very warm water, and rub with a soft cloth.

2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.

3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum OR

Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle

to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.

NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may

discolor the rear of the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads

of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to avoid

transfer of dye.

REMOVING ACCUMULATED LiNT

From inside the dryer cabinet Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done

by a qualified appliance servicer. From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage.

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. The control panel has an indicator light to remind you to

clean the lint screen after each load. A screen blocked by lint will increase drying time.

To clean:

1. Pull the lint screen straight up. 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.

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. See "Venting Requirements."

As needed cleaning

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build

up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged

if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,

or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue

buildup. To wash:

1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.

3. Wet a nylon brush with

hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush

to remove residue buildup.

4. Rinse screen with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.

Reinstall screen in dryer.

NON=USE, STORAGE, AND MOVING CARE

Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.

Non=Use or Storage Care Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will

be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended

period of time, you should:

1, Unplug dryer or disconnect power. 2, Clean lint screen. See "Cleaning the Lint Screen." 3, Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to

avoid unintended flooding (due to a water pressure

surge) while you are away.

Moving Care

For power supply cord-connected dryers:

1, Unplug the power supply cord. 2, Gas models only: Close shutoff valve in gas supply line. 3, Gas models only: Disconnect gas supply line pipe and

remove fittings attached to dryer pipe. 4, Gas models only: Cap the open gas supply line. 5, Steam models only: Shut off water faucet.
