This Owner's Guide provides general
operating instructions for your dryer.
It also contains information about
features for several other models.
Your dryer may not have every
feature included.
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.
Use the dryer only as instructed in
this Owner's Guide and the
Operating Instructions card
included with your dryer.
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.
Avoid fire hazard or
electricalshock. Donotuseanadaptor

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
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.
ELECTRIC DRYERS:

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.

• Follow the guidelines below for preparing the load for drying.
Drying Procedures
• Read the Operating Instructions card for operating your specific model.
• Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product labels.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, read
Important Safety Instructions, pages 2-3, before operating this dryer.
1. Prepare items for drying.
•
Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same load.
•
Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate items that shed lint
from those that attract lint. If an item sheds lint, turn it inside out.
•
Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and won't damage the
drum finish. Close zippers, fasten hooks and Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie
strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.
•
•
If possible, turn pockets inside out for even drying.
Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Dryer heat
may permanently set some stains. Repeat stain removal process before
drying.
Follow fabric care label instructions.
•
Place small items in a mesh bag to prevent tangling and for easy removal.
2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place.
3. Load the dryer.

Cycle Signal Control (some models)
Features
When the Cycle Signal Control is ON, a signal will sound at the end of each cycle
and during the Press Saver setting (some models). The volume is adjustable on
some models.
Drum Light (some models)
A drum light will come on whenever the door is opened to illuminate the dryer
drum during loading and unloading. Closing the door turns off the light.
Reversible Dryer Door
Your dryer is equipped with a reversible door. The door can be hinged on the right
or left side. Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for directions on changing
the door.
Drying Rack (some models)
Use the drying rack to dry items which should not be tumble dried.
1. Open the dryer door and remove the lint screen.
2. Insert drying rack into the dryer drum. Place the front bar under the lip of the
lint screen opening.
3. Place items to be dried on top of the rack. Weight should not exceed 10 lbs.

4. Selectatimeddrysettingbestsuitedforitemsbeingdried.UseonlytheAirFluff
(no heat) temperature setting for items containing plastic, foam rubber,
rubber-like materials, feathers or down.
5. When items are dry, remove the rack and replace the lint screen. If lint screen
is not in place, tumbling items could enter the exhaust system and cause
damage to the dryer.
Place the front bar under
the lip of the lint screen opening.
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.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
• Add a few bath towels to small loads for
proper tumbling.
PROBLEM
Greasy, oily
stains
POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
• Fabric softener sheet.
• Rub fabric softener stains with bar soap.
Rinse and rewash.
• 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
• 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.
• 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.
• Use lint brush or roller to remove lint.
Pilling
• 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.
• Pilling is normal with
synthetic and permanent
press fabrics. This is due
to abrasion from normal
wear.
(Fibers break
off, ball up and
cling to fabric.)
• Turn items inside out to reduce abrasion.
Shrinking
• 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.
• Block knits into shape.
• Overdrying.
Wrinkling
• Reduce load size and tumble at medium
or low heat for 5-10 minutes.
• Remove items immediately. Hang or fold.
• Do not overload dryer.
• Remove items as soon as cycle ends.
• Overloading.
• Leaving items in dryer
after cycle ends.

To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply
with the basic warnings listed in Important Safety Instructions, pages 2-3, and
those listed below.
Care and Cleaning
•
•
Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid
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 of
the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace
the screen.
•
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
warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer
without the lint screen in place.
Clean lint screen after every load.
•
•
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
amountoflintbuild-upcouldresultininefficientdryingandpossiblefirehazard.
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.
