GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The power supply cord
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
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.
WARNING: Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance – if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed.
• A 120-Volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-
ampere fused electrical supply is required.
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. Be sure fuse or circuit
breaker matches the rating of your line.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•Use a separate circuit serving only
your dryer.
•Do not use an extension cord.

Exhaust airflow
Use the straightest path possible when
routing the exhaust vent. Use the fewest
number of elbows and turns. Allow as much
room as possible when using elbows or
making turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid
kinking. Remove excess flexible vent to
avoid sagging and kinking that may result in
reduced airflow.
Maximum length of the exhaust system
depends upon the type of vent used,
number of elbows, and the type of exhaust
hood. The maximum length for both heavy
and flexible vent is shown on the next page.

the knob automatically turns to an Off area
and tumbling stops.
• If the load is drier than you like, select a
setting closer to LESS the next time you
dry a similar load.
• If the load is not as dry as you like,
complete drying using a Timed cycle.
Select a setting closer to MORE the next
time you dry a similar load.
Timed Dry cycle
Use a Timed Drying cycle to complete
drying if some items are damp after
Automatic drying. Timed drying is also
useful for:
• Delicate items and small loads that need
a short drying time.
• Bulky items and large loads that require
a long drying time.
For a damp dry, turn the Cycle and
Temperature Control knob to 30 min. or less.

Caring for Your Dryer
Cleaning the lint screen
Every load cleaning
As needed cleaning
The lint screen is located inside the dryer
drum, on the back wall. Clean it before
starting each load. A screen blocked by
lint can increase drying time.
Laundry detergents and fabric softeners can
cause a residue buildup on the lint screen.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush
every six months or more frequently if it
becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
To clean:
Use the following method:
1. Open the door and pull the lint screen
straight out.
1. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot
water.
2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and
liquid detergent; scrub lint
screen with the brush to
remove residue buildup.
2. Squeeze body of lint screen lightly while
pulling the cover off.
3. Rinse screen with hot water.
4. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean
towel. Replace in dryer.
3. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash screen to remove
lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
4. Replace cover on lint screen body. Push
the lint screen firmly back into place and
close the door.
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.
• Some towels made of synthetic fibers and
natural fibers (polyester and cotton blends)
may shed more lint than other towels,
causing your dryer’s lint screen to fill up
faster. Be sure to remove lint from the lint
screen before and after drying new towels.
