Note: The instructions appearing in this Use and Care Guide are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that  
may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety Instructions:  
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this dryer, comply with the basic warnings listed  
below.  
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.  
Prevent Fire  
Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes,  
etc. Do not store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.  
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 containing rubber, plastic or similar materials such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants,  
plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances  
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.  
Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned  
approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could result  
in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.  
Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics  
can occur. If your dryer has a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack.  
- Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly  
inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the  
surrounding area.  
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the dryer.  
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time.  
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or  
product.  
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic  
parts of the dryer.  
Protect Children  
Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.  
As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.  
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play.  
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.  
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.  
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.  
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Important Safety Instructions Con't  
Prevent Injury  
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the dryer must be installed and electrically grounded by a  
qualified service person in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the dryer for the installer's  
reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new location,  
have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.  
To prevent personal injury or damage to the dryer, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer must be plugged into a properly  
grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never be removed. Never ground the dryer to  
a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.  
• ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so can result  
in electrical shock or injury.  
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.  
To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely before reaching  
into the drum.  
To prevent injury and damage to the dryer:  
- All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer unless specifically recommended in this  
Owner's Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.  
- Do not tamper with controls.  
- Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.  
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off the motor in the unlikely event of an overheated situation (electric dryers only).  
A service technician must replace the thermal limiter switch after correcting the fault.  
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.  
Follow the guidelines below for preparing the load for drying.  
Read the Operating Instructions for operating your specific model.

electrical shock hazards.  
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous  
fumes or electrical shock could occur.  
Inside  
• Clean the lint screen after every load. Lint build-up in the screen restricts air  
flow, which causes longer drying times. The screen is located at the bottom  
ofthedooropening.Removebypullingstraightup.Removethelintandreplace  
the screen.  
CAUTION - Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The  
dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the  
outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the  
outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.  
Clean lint screen after every load.  
Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint screen from using dryer-  
added fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash the lint screen in

Care and Cleaning Con't  
If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean the drum  
with a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser  
residue before drying the next load.  
Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet interior  
and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An  
excessive amount of lint build-up could result in inefficient drying and possible  
fire hazard.  
Outside  
Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or  
abrasive cleansers.  
If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach [1/2 cup (120  
ml) in 1 quart (.95 liter) water]. Rinse several times with clear water.  
Removeglueresiduefromtapeorlabelswithamixtureofwarmwaterandmild  
detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of the tape or label.  
Do not store or place laundry products  
on top of dryer at any time. They can  
damage the finish or controls.  
Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under  
the front leveling legs to prevent damage to floor.  
Common Drying Problems  
Many drying problems involve poor cleaning results, poor soil and stain removal, residues of lint and scum, and fabric damage. For  
satisfactory drying results, follow these suggestions provided by The Soap and Detergent Association.  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLECAUSES  
SOLUTIONS  
PREVENTIVEMEASURES  
Greasy, oily  
stains  
• Fabric softener sheet.  
• Rub fabric softener stains with bar soap.  
Rinse and rewash.  
• Add a few bath towels to small loads for  
proper tumbling.  
• Some "silk-like" fabrics should be air  
dried.  
• Use proper drying temperature.  
• Place fabric softener sheet on top of  
load before starting the dryer.  
Lint  
• Overloading.  
• Overdrying causes static  
electricity.  
• Lint screen not clean  
when cycle began.  
• Lint is attached to "pills."  
• Reduce load size and rewash using liquid  
fabric softener in the final rinse.  
• Or, add a fabric softener sheet and  
tumble without heat.  
• Do not overload dryer.  
• Use fabric softener in washer or dryer to  
reduce static electricity.  
• Remove items when they are slightly  
damp to avoid overdrying.  
• Check that lint screen is clean and in  
place.  
• Use lint brush or roller to remove lint.  
Pilling  
• Pilling is normal with  
synthetic and permanent  
press fabrics. This is due  
to abrasion from normal  
wear.  
• Use a lint brush or shaver to remove pills.  
• Use fabric softener to lubricate fibers.  
• When ironing, use spray starch or fabric  
finish on collars and cuffs.  
• Turn items inside out to reduce  
abrasion.  
(Fibers break  
off, ball up and  
cling to fabric.)  
Shrinking  
Wrinkling  
• Overdrying.  
• Irreversible condition.  
• Follow fabric care label directions.  
• If shrinking is a concern, check load  
often.  
• Remove items while slightly damp and  
hang or lay flat to complete drying.
