WARNING - RISK OF FIRE  
To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this laundry center, comply with the basic  
warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow these Important Safety Instructions:  
PREVENT FIRE  
WARNING  
• Do not wash or dry items that have been previously  
cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, clean-  
FIRE HAZARD  
ing solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not  
store these items on or near the washer. These sub-  
stances give off vapors or chemical reactions that could  
ignite or explode.  
• Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the  
laundry center. These substances give off vapors that  
could ignite the materials.  
• Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other am-  
mable or explosive substances to the wash water. These  
substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.  
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-  
duced in a hot water system that has not been used  
for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.  
If the hot water system has not been used for such a  
period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water  
faucets and let the water ow from each for several  
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen  
gas. Hydrogen gas is ammable; do not smoke or use  
an open ame during this time.  
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer  
must be connected to an outdoors exhaust. Regularly  
inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any  
accumulation of lint around the opening and in the  
surrounding area.  
• Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The in-  
terior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct  
should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by  
qualied service personnel. An excessive amount of lint  
build-up in these areas could result in inefcient drying  
and possible re. 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.  
• Do not obstruct the ow 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 store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors  
or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.  
• 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 re.  
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate  
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the  
fabric softener or product.  
• Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar ma-  
terials 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 re by spontaneous combustion.

DRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Drying Procedures  
• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on  
top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.  
To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying  
and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.  
• When drying large items, dry only two or three  
items at a time. Fill out the load with small and  
medium sized items.  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or injury to  
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.  
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three  
similar items to improve tumbling action.  
1 Prepare load for drying.  
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction  
in the same load.  
• Separate dark items from light-colored items. Sepa-  
rate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.  
ÍNOTE  
• Check for stains which may not have been removed  
in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash  
again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently  
set some stains.  
Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint,  
harshness and a build up of static electricity.  
4 Select the appropriate cycle and settings for  
each load.  
• Place delicate or small  
items in a mesh bag.  
• See Dryer Operating Instructions on following  
pages.  
• Be sure buckles,

(Mesh bag not included.)  
fasten hooks and  
Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to  
prevent snagging and tangling.  
2 Check that the  
lint lter is clean  
and in place.  
To stop a running cycle, push in the cycle selector  
knob.  
ÍNOTE  
If drying a single large or bulky item, such as a  
comforter, remove the item part way through the cycle  
and turn it “inside out” to maximize drying effectiveness.  
Place item back in dryer and re-start cycle.  
CAUTION  
6 When the cycle ends, remove items immedi-  
ately and hang or fold.  
Do not operate dryer without lint lter in place.  
3 Load the dryer and close the door.  
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will  
ll the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to  
tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.  
IMPORTANT  
Clean the lint lter after every load.

DRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Consoles shown above  
for reference only. Your model may differ.  
Drying Cycle Selection  
Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of  
load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost  
dry, the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough  
moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may end  
after a few minutes. If this occurs, select a Timed Dry  
cycle.  
Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle  
desired.  
For best results  
Follow the fabric care  
label instructions on  
items to be dried.  
Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and  
electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying  
time.  
To change the cycle after it has begun, push in or turn  
the cycle selector knob to pause the current running  
cycle. Make the new selection and push in the cycle se-  
lector knob again to start the new cycle.  
normal  
Select this cycle to dry everyday fabrics including  
cottons, linens and sheets.  
heavy duty  
Select this Auto Dry cycle to dry durable fabrics such as  
work wear and overalls.  
Auto Dry Cycles  
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting  
the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing  
bars in the front of the dryer drum (on certain models)  
sense the moisture level of the load as it tumbles  
through the heated air. With Auto Dry cycles, the load  
will automatically be dried at the selected temperature  
to a specic dryness level. Auto Dry cycles save time and  
energy and protect fabrics.  
delicates  
Select this cycle to dry knits and delicates.  
casual  
Select this cycle to dry cottons, blends and permanent  
press items with a no-iron nish.  
cotton towels (on select models)  
Select this cycle to dry heavy loads such as towels and  
non-rubber-backed bath mats.  
When the load has reached the dryness level, it will  
continue to tumble during a cool down period. This helps  
reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during  
unloading.

Select this timed cycle to quickly dry a small load made  
up of just a few items. It provides approximately 20  
minutes of tumbling followed by a cool down period.  
Chime (on select models)  
A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if selected.  
refresh (on select models only)  
Select refresh to help remove wrinkles from clean and  
dry items that were not taken from the dryer at the  
end of the cycle, have been stored in crowded closets  
or drawers, or unpacked from luggage following a  
trip. It provides approximately 10 minutes of tumbling  
followed by a 5-minute cool down period.  
timed dry  
To manually select the drying time for any load, turn  
the knob to a numbered setting: 15 (on select models),  
30, 60, or 90 minutes. Moisture sensing bars (if  
equipped) are not active and dryer will continue to heat  
throughout the cycle until the nal cool down period.

bar under the lip of the lint screen opening.  
Use the drying rack to dry items which should not be  
tumble dried. If your model did not come with a drying  
rack, you may order one.  
3. Place items to be dried on top of the rack. Weight  
should not exceed 10 lbs. Leave space between items,  
but do not let items hang over the sides or through  
the grids. Do not tumble other items when using the  
drying rack.  
4. Select a timed cycle. If items to be dried contain  
plastic, foam rubber, rubber-like materials, feathers or  
down, then only use the air dry temperature setting.  
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

CARE AND CLEANING  
WARNING  
WARNING  
FIRE HAZARD  
To reduce risk of re or serious injury to persons or property,  
comply with the basic warnings listed in the Important Safety  
Instructions and those listed below.  
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint.  
The dryer must be connected to an outdoors  
exhaust. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust  
opening and remove any accumulation of lint  
around the opening and in the surrounding area.  
• Before cleaning the laundry center interior, unplug the electrical  
power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.  
• Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer  
interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.  
INSIDE DRYER  
• Clean the lint lter after every load. Lint build-up on the lter  
restricts air ow, which causes longer drying times. The lter is  
located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling  
straight up. Remove the lint and replace the lter.  
• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint lter and/or  
moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added fabric softener  
sheets. To remove this build-up, wash them with warm, soapy  
water. Dry the lter thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the  
dryer without the lint lter in place.  
• 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 inefcient drying and possible re hazard.  
IMPORTANT  
Clean the lint lter after every load.  
INSIDE WASHER  
• Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle ends.  
Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may develop in items  
left in the washer.  
• Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening, and the  
underside of the lid. These areas should always be dry before the  
lid is closed.  
• Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power  
cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.  
• When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue  
may remain on the tub. Remove this by wiping the tub with a  
nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.  
ÍNOTE  
Fabric softener may build up in the dispenser  
well. Residue should be removed once or twice  
a month.  
• The base plate or tub may become stained from fabric dye.  
Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household cleanser. This  
prevents dye transfer to future loads.  
FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER  
a
• Remove the dual chamber insert (a) from the bleach and fabric  
softener dispenser by pinching at the chamber divider and lifting  
upward. Also remove the siphon cap (b).  
• Rinse the insert and cap with a combination of ¾ cup liq-  
uid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon hot tap water to remove any  
buildup. Large amounts of fabric softener residue may indicate  
improper dilution or more frequent cleaning is required. Rinse  
well with tap water.  
b
• For the dispenser well, use a small brush to clean the recesses.  
Remove all residue.  
• Replace the siphon cap and insert by pressing it in place until  
you hear a slight click.
