WARNING! FIRE HAZARD

Do not place into your dryer items that have been

spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil.

Even after being washed, the

se items may cont

ain

significant amounts of these oils. The remaining oil

can ignite spontaneously. The potential for

spont

aneous ignition increases when the items

containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed

to heat. Heat sources, such as your clothes dryer,

an warm the

se items, allowing an oxidation

reaction in the oil to occur

. Oxidation creates heat. If

this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot

enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing

these kinds of items may prevent heat from

aping and c

an create a fire hazard.

All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain

veget

able oil or cooking oil c

an be dangerous.

Washing these items in hot water with extra

detergent will reduce, but will not eliminate, the

hazard. Always use the Cool Down c

ycle for these

items to reduce the items’ temperature. Never

remove the

se items from the clothe

s dryer hot or

interrupt the drying c

ycle until the items have run

through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack

these items when they are hot.

Operating Tips

Accessories

Optional Drying Rack

Select dryer models are equipped with a drying rack.

The drying rack is useful for drying items that require

no tumble drying, such as tennis shoes, sweaters,

stuffed toys or other delicate items.

Note: Do not operate the dryer without the lint

filter in place.

Clean the Lint Filter

• After each load.

• To shorten drying time.

• To operate more energy efficiently.

Load the Dryer Properly

• Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.

• Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will dry

differently. Lightweight clothes will dry, while heavy

clothes may be damp.

• Add one or more similar items to the dryer when only

one or two articles need drying. This improves the

tumbling action and drying efficiency.

• Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in

uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some

fabrics.

• When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or

comfor

ter, it may be necessary to reposition the load

during the cycle to ensure even drying.

Note: The Drying Rack, part no. 504105, is

available when not included with your dryer. See

your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 to order.

Care & Cleaning

Control Panel

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive

substances.

Tumbler

Remove any stains such as crayon, ink pen or fabric

dye from new items (such as towels or jeans) with an

all-purpose cleaner. Then tumble old towels or rags to

remove any excess stain or cleaning substance. Once

these steps are done, stains may still be visible, but

should not transfer to subsequent loads.

Cabinet

Wipe off any marks with soap and water. Use an

appliance wax once a year if desired.

Dryer Exhaust System

Inspect and clean once a year to maintain optimum

performance. The outside exhaust hood should be

cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.

(Refer to the Installation Instructions for more

information.)

LAUNDERING TIPS

• Follow the care label instructions or dry on the Regular cycle.

• Be sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing.

• May require repositioning to ensure even drying.

• Dry only one blanket at a time for best tumbling action.

• Be sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing.

• Select the

Wrinkle Contr

cycle to help minimize wrinkling.

• Dry in small loads for best results and remove as soon as possible.

• Select the

Regular cycle for soft, fluffy diapers.

• Select the

Regular cycle and a Delicate temperature setting.

• Place a clean pair of sneakers in the dryer with the item to fluff the down comforters, etc.

Adding a couple of dry towels shortens dry time and absorbs moisture.

• Do not dry on a heat setting. Select the T

ime Dry/Air Fluff

(no-heat) c

ycle.

•

– Drying a rubber item with heat may damage it or be a fire hazard.

• Do not dryer-dry kapok or foam pillows.

• Select the Regular cycle.

•

Add a couple of dry towels and a pair of clean sneakers to help the tumbling action and

to fluff the item.

Reversing the Door

Dryer Exhaust Tips

Let your dryer exhaust

the air easily.

Read the Installation Instructions

and the Use and Care Guide.

Use 4 inch

diameter rigid

metal duct. Tape all

joints, including at the dryer.

Never use lint-trapping screws.

eep duct runs as straight

as possible.

Clean all old duct

s before inst

alling

your new dryer. Be sure vent flap

opens and close

s freely. Inspect

and clean the exhaust system

annually.

DON’T

Restrict your dryer with a

poor exhaust system.

Let a poor exhaust system

cause slow drying.

Use plastic, thin foil, or

non-metal flexible duct.

Use longer than necessary

duct runs with many

elbows.

Allow crushed or clogged

duct

s and vent.

Plastic or nonmetal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.

WARNING

Troubleshooting

• Be sure the door is shut.

• Check to make sure the electrical cord is plugged in.

• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.

• Push the control dial

in again if the door was opened during the cycle.

• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.

• Select a heat setting, not air fluff.

• Check that the gas supply is on for gas dryers.

• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.

• Dryer timer may have moved into the cool-down portion of the cycle.

Check all of the above, plus . . .

• Check the exhaust hood outside the house, make sure it opens and closes freely.

• Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.

• Use rigid 4” metal exhaust duct.

• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.

• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.

• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even

drying.

• Check the washer to be sure it is draining properly to extract water from the load.

• Clothes load is too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.

• Check the load for objects such as coins, nails, etc. Remove promptly from dryer.

• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the

drying cycle.

• The dryer should be level and installed on a solid floor.

• A clicking noise may be the timer advancing.

• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer

drum and exhaust system.

• This is normal operation for an Auto Dry or Sensor cycle, especially at the beginning of

cycle. Once the load begins to dry

, the control knob will st

art to advance. The rate of

advancement will be slow at the beginning of the cycle because there is more moisture in

the load. As the load become

s more dry

, the control knob will advance more quickly

• Seams, pockets and other similar heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of

the load has reached the selected dryne

ss level. T

his is normal. Select the

Mor

e Dry

setting if de

sired.

• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is

possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has

reached the selected dryness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying

sult

• Household odors such as from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the

dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the

room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler and exhausts it to the outside. When these

odors are present in the air, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.

AVERTISSEMENT! RISQUE D’INCENDIE

Ne pas sécher d’articles qui ont trempé dans de l’huile

végétale ou de l’huile de cuisson ou en sont tachés.

Même après avoir été lavés, ces articles peuvent encore

contenir des quantités non négligeables de ces

subst

ances. L’huile dont ils sont encore imbibés peut

prendre feu spontanément. Le risque de combustion

spontanée de ces articles augmente quand ils sont

exposés à la chaleur. Des sources de chaleur

, telles

qu’une sécheuse, peuvent chauffer ces articles et

entraîner une réaction d’oxydation de l’huile. L’oxydation

produit de la chaleur

. Si cette chaleur n’est pas dissipée,

s ar

ticle

s peuvent chauffer suffis

amment pour prendre

feu. Le fait d’empiler ou d’entreposer ce type d’articles

peut empêcher la dissipation de la chaleur et créer ainsi

un risque d’incendie.

ous le

s articles, lavés ou non, qui contiennent de l’huile

végétale ou de l’huile de cuisson sont un danger

potentiel. Le fait de les laver à l’eau chaude avec une plus

grande quantité de détergent que la normale réduit les

risques mais ne les élimine pas. Toujours utiliser le cycle

Cool Down (cycle de refroidissement) pour réduire la

température de ce type d’article. Ne jamais retirer ces

articles de la sécheuse alors qu’ils sont encore chauds ni

interrompre le cycle de séchage avant que l’appareil n’ait

effectué un cycle de refroidissement. Ne jamais empiler ou

entreposer ces articles pendant qu’ils sont encore chauds.

En raison de nos efforts constants d’amélioration de la

qualité de nos appareils électro-ménagers, il se peut

qu’une machine laveuse soit modifiée sans que le guide

soit révisé.

1. Lire toutes les instructions avant d’utiliser l’appareil.

2. Pour éviter les risques d’incendie ou d’explosion :

Ne pas sécher d’articles qui ont auparavant été

nettoyés ou lavés à l’aide d’essence, de solvants de

nettoyage à sec ou d’autres produits explosifs ou

inflammables, ou qui en sont imbibés ou éclaboussés,

car ces substances produisent des vapeurs qui

peuvent s’

enflammer ou exploser. Tout tissu sur lequel

des solvants de nettoyage ont été utilisés ou qui sont

saturés de liquides ou solides inflammables ne doit

pas être mis dans la sécheuse avant que toute trace

et toute vapeur de ces liquides ou solides ne soient

complètement éliminées. De nombreux produits

extrêmement inflammables sont communément

utilisés à la maison, entre autre

s l’acétone, l’alcool

dénaturé, l’essence, le kérosène, cer

tains produits de

nettoyage ménagers, les détachants, la térébenthine,

les cires et les décapants de cire.

Les articles contenant du caoutchouc mousse

(l’étiquette indique parfois : mousse de latex) ou tout

matériau de texture similaire ne doivent pas être

séchés sur un cycle utilisant de l’air chaud. Lorsqu’ils

sont exposés à la chaleur, ces matériaux peuvent,

dans certaines conditions, s’enflammer par un

phénomène de combustion spontanée.

Ne pas permettre aux enfant

s ou aux animaux familiers

de jouer sur l’appareil, à l’intérieur ou en face de celui-ci.

Une supervision étroite est nécessaire lorsque l’appareil

est utilisé à proximité d’enfants ou d’animaux familiers.

publiées le recommandent et que la personne effectuant

la réparation les comprend et possède les connaissances

voulues pour les exécuter.

9. Ne pas utiliser d’assouplissant textile ni de produit visant

à réduire l’électricité statique sauf si le fabricant de ces

produits recommande leur usage dans la sécheuse.

Pour réduire les risques d’incendie, d’explosion,

d’électrocution ou de blessures lors de l’utilisation de cet

ppareil, suivre les précautions d’usage, dont les suivantes :

AVERTISSEMENT

10. Nettoyer le filtre à charpie avant et après chaque utilisation.

11. Éviter l’accumulation de charpie, de poussière et de

saleté directement autour du conduit d’évacuation et

dans toute la zone environnante.

12. Faire nettoyer régulièrement l’intérieur de la sécheuse et

du conduit d’évacuation par des techniciens qualifiés.

13. Cet appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre.

Mesures de sécurité

importantes

En application de la loi californienne concernant la salubrité

de l’eau et la protection contre les substances chimiques

California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act de

1986 (Proposition 65), le gouverneur de Californie est tenu de

publier une liste des subst

ance

s reconnues par l’état de

Californie comme ét

ant c

ancérigènes ou pouvant être c

ause

d’infertilité, et les commerces et industries sont tenus

d’avertir les consommateurs des risques potentiels

d’exposition à de telle

s subst

ances.

En conséquence, les utilisateurs de l’appareil sont avertis que la

combustion de gaz peut entraîner une faible exposition à

cer

taines des substances nomenclaturées par l’état de Californie,

dont le benzène, le formaldéhyde et la suie, principalement en

raison d’une combustion incomplète de gaz naturel ou de gaz de

pétrole liquéfié (GPL). Les conduits d’évacuation ne doivent pas

être obstrués et l’exposition à ces substances peut être réduite

en assurant une évacuation d’air adéquate.
