I
I_
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 wt]en finished using the drying rack.
- Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors.

Procedures

* Follow the guidelines below for preparing the load for drying.
* Read the Operating
Instructions card for operating your specific model.
* Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product labels.
Safety

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, read Important
Instructions
before operating this dryer.

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 Vekro®-Nke 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.
Place small items in a mesh bag to prevent tangling and for easy removal.

Follow fabric care label instructions.

2.

Check that lint screen is clean and in place.
Load the dryer.
*
The average load will fill the drum 113 to 112 full. Items need room to tumble freely for
even drying and less wrinkling. Do not overload dryer.
*
When drying large items, dry only 2 or 3 at a time. Fill out the load with small and
medium sized items.

Place small items in a mesh bag.

*
*
*
4.

For delicate or very small loads, add 2 Nnt-free towels for better drying, less wrinkNng,
and to prevent grease stains caused by fabric softener sheets.
Do not overdry items. Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinkage, harshness, and a buildup of static electricity, which can produce more lint.
If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet.

Close the dryer door and select the cycle, temperature,
dryness level and options
desired.
See Operating Instructions
for your specific model information.

5. Press START to begin the cycle.
To add or remove items when the dryer is running open the door.

The dryer will stop

when the door is opened. Allow the drum to come to a complete stop before
reaching inside.
Close the door and press START to resume the cycle.
6. When

the cycle ends, remove

items immediately

and hang or fold.

Features

Fill dryer drum 113 to 112 full.

Place the front bar under
the lip of the lint screen opening.

End of Cycle Signal
A signal will sound at the end of the cycle and periodically during Press Saver at the volume level
selected. (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 Nght.
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 Nnt screen.
2.
Insert drying rack into the dryer drum. Place the front bar under the lip of the Nnt screen
opening.
3.
Place items to be dried on top of the rack. Weight should not exceed 10 Ibs. 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 Timed Dry. Use only the Air Fluff/No Heat option for items containing plastic, foam
rubber, rubber-Nke materials, feathers or down.
5. When items are dry, remove the rack and replace the Nnt screen. If Nnt screen is not in
place, tumbNng items could enter the exhaust system and cause damage to the dryer.
