Dryer Safety

WARNING:

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property

damage.

–

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

or any other appliance.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

•

Do not try to light any appliance.

•

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

•

Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.

•

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's

instructions.

•

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

–

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or

the gas supplier.

Check Your Vent System for Good Air Flow

Good air  ow

Along with heat, dryers require good air  ow to ef ciently

dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times

and improve your energy savings. See Installation

Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role

in good air  ow.

Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered

by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless

of who installed the dryer.

Maintain good air  ow:

Good Better

Use the ACCUDRY™/Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer.

During ACCUDRY™/Automatic Dry cycles, drying air temperature or moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs

throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness.

With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to

overdrying. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

Clean your lint screen before each load.

Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)

diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

Use the shortest length of vent possible.

Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces air  ow.

Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system

at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete,

be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied

with your dryer for  nal product check.

Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

Use ACCUDRY

™

/Automatic Dry Cycles

for Better Fabric Care and Energy Savings

Dryer Care

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would

block the air  ow for proper dryer operation. This includes

clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.

Cleaning the lint screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked

by lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

1. Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint off the

screen with your  ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen

to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. Push the lint screen  rmly back into place.

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.

If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,

check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See

“Venting Requirements.”

As needed cleaning

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build

up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying

times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before

your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged

if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.

Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,

or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue

buildup.

To wash:

1. Roll lint off the screen with your  ngers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.

3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.

Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue

buildup.

4. Rinse screen with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.

Reinstall screen in dryer.

Cleaning the dryer interior

To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a liquid, non ammable household cleaner to the

stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until

stain is removed.

2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim

blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the

dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and

will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside

out to avoid drum staining.

Removing accumulated lint

From Inside the Dryer Cabinet

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done

by a quali ed servicer.

From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage.

Check with a quali ed electrician.

Wrong type of fuse.

Use a time-delay fuse.

Unusual sounds

Dryer had a period of non-use.

If the dryer hasn’t been used for awhile, there may be a

thumping sound during the  rst few minutes of operation.

Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects.

Clean out pockets before laundering.

The four legs are not installed, or the

dryer is not level front to back and

side to side.

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed.

See Installation Instructions.

A coin, button, or paper clip is

caught between the drum and front

or rear of the dryer.

Clothing knotted or balled up.

When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to

vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

Press and hold the PUSH to START knob until you hear the dryer

drum moving.

No heat

Household fuse is blown or circuit

breaker has tripped.

The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric

dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace both

fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call

an electrician.

It is a gas dryer.

The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.

Supply line valve not open. For gas dryers, make sure the supply line valve is open.

Clothes are not drying

satisfactorily; drying

times are too long

Lint screen clogged with lint. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Fluff Air cycle or No Heat temperature

setting has been selected.

Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried.

See “Cycle Guide.”

Load too large and heavy to dry

quickly.

Separate the load to tumble freely.

Exhaust vent or outside exhaust

hood clogged with lint, restricting

air movement.

Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the

outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel

air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust

vent with heavy metal or  exible metal vent. Make sure vent is

not crushed or kinked. See Installation Instructions.

Exhaust vent diameter not the

correct size.

Use 4" (102mm) diameter vent material.

Dryer located in a room with

temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above

45ºF (7ºC).

Dryer located in a closet without

adequate opening.

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and

bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum

of 1" (25mm) of airspace and, for most installations, the rear

of the dryer requires 5" (127mm). See Installation Instructions.

Exhaust vent not the correct length.

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many

turns. Long venting will increase drying times. Make sure vent

is not crushed or kinked. See Installation Instructions.

Fabric softener sheets blocking

the grille.

Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Incorrect power supply.

Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply.

Check with a quali ed electrician.

First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website at www.whirlpool.com/product_help -

In Canada www.whirlpool.ca for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.

If you experience

Possible Causes

Solution

Troubleshooting

Cycle time too short

Automatic cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips.

Level the dryer.

Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the Dry Level

setting on ACCUDRY™/Automatic Dry cycles.

Increasing or decreasing the Dry Level setting will change the

amount of drying time in a cycle.

Lint on load

Lint screen clogged.

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Stains on load or drum

Dryer fabric softener not properly

used.

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.

Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain

your garments.

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).

These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled

Load not removed from dryer at the

end of the cycle.

Select Wrinkle Shield™ feature to tumble the load without heat

to avoid wrinkling.

Dryer tightly packed.

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely reduce wrinkles from

forming.

Odors

You have recently been painting,

staining, or varnishing in the area

where your dryer is located.

If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone

from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

The electric dryer is being used for

the  rst time.

The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor

will be gone after the  rst cycle.

Load is too hot

Laundry items removed from the

dryer before the end of the cycle.

Allow Cool Down cycle to  nish before removing laundry from

dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling and

make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down

may feel very warm.

A high temperature cycle was used,

or a separate temperature control

was set on High.

Select a lower temperature and use an automatic drying cycle.

These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the

load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness.

This reduces overdrying.

AVERTISSEMENT :

RISQUE D'INCENDIE OU D'EXPLOSION

Le non-respect des avertissements de sécurité peut causer des dommages à la propriété,

des blessures graves, voire la mort.

Véri cation d’une circulation d’air adéquate

pour le système d’évacuation

Maintenir une bonne circulation d’air

en effectuant les opérations suivantes :

Nettoyer le  ltre à charpie avant chaque charge.

Remplacer le matériau de conduits d’évacuation en

plastique ou en aluminium par des conduits d’évacuation

lourds et rigides de 4" (102 mm) de diamètre.

Toujours employer les conduits d’évacuation les plus

courts possible.

Ne pas utiliser plus de quatre coudes à 90° dans un

circuit d’évacuation car chaque inclinaison et courbe

réduit le  ux d’air.

Retirer la charpie et les résidus du clapet d’évacuation.

Retirer la charpie sur toute la longueur du circuit

d’évacuation au moins tous les 2 ans. Après le

nettoyage, veuillez suivre les instructions d’installation

fournies avec la sécheuse pour une véri cation  nale

de l’appareil.

Dégager tout article qui se trouverait devant la sécheuse.

Circulation d’air adéquate

Une sécheuse a besoin de chaleur et d’une circulation

d’air adéquate pour sécher ef cacement le linge. Une

ventilation adéquate réduit les durées de séchage et accroît

les économies d’énergie. Voir les Instructions d’installation.

Le système d’évacuation  xé à la sécheuse joue un rôle

important dans la circulation de l’air.

Les interventions de dépannage causées par une ventilation

incorrecte ne sont pas couvertes par la garantie et seront

à la charge du client, quel que soit l’installateur de la

sécheuse.

Utiliser les programmes de séchage automatique ACCUDRY™ pour que la sécheuse puisse réaliser davantage d’économies

d’énergie et apporter un soin supérieur aux tissus. Durant les programmes de séchage automatique ACCUDRY™, la température

de séchage de l’air et le niveau d’humidité sont détectés dans la charge. Cette détection se produit tout au long du programme

de séchage et la sécheuse s’éteint lorsque la charge atteint le degré de séchage sélectionné.

Avec l’option de séchage minuté, la sécheuse fonctionne pendant la durée réglée, ce qui peut parfois entraîner le rétrécissement

ou le froissement du linge, et l’accumulation d’électricité statique due au séchage excessif. Utiliser le séchage minuté pour une

charge encore humide nécessitant un peu de temps supplémentaire ou lorsqu’on utilise la grille de séchage.
