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.
n
Clean your lint screen before each load.
n
Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
n
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air  ow.
n
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
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.
n
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:
n
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.
n
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.

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.”

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.

L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués par un installateur qualifié, uneagence
de service ou le fournisseur de gaz.
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.
16
Véri cation d’une circulation d’air adéquate
pour le système d’évacuation
Maintenir une bonne circulation d’air
en effectuant les opérations suivantes :
n
Nettoyer le  ltre à charpie avant chaque charge.
n
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.
n
Toujours employer les conduits d’évacuation les plus
courts possible.
n
Ne pas utiliser plus de quatre coudes à 90° dans un
circuit d’évacuation car chaque inclinaison et courbe
réduit le  ux d’air.
n
Retirer la charpie et les résidus du clapet d’évacuation.
n
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.
n
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.

PREFERRED ou Normal est utilisé comme point de départ
dans les programmes ACCUDRY™. Le séchage Less Dry
(moins sec) élimine moins d’humidité et est utilisé pour les
charges que l’on souhaite placer sur un cintre pour qu’elles
nissent de sécher.
