Safety Instructions
Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in
this guide are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. Common
sense, caution and care must be exercised when
inst
alling, maint
aining or operating appliance.
Always contact the manufacturer about problems or

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,
c
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
e
sc
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

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
re
sult
s.
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.

des consignes de sécurité
Les consignes de sécurité et les mises en garde présentées
dans ce guide ne couvrent pas toute
s le
s situations
possibles. Faire preuve de jugement, de prudence et
d’attention lors de l’installation, de l’entretien et de
l’utilisation de l’appareil.

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. Loxydation
produit de la chaleur
. Si cette chaleur n’est pas dissipée,
le
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.
T
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.

1. Lire toutes les instructions avant d’utiliser l’appareil.
2. Pour éviter les risques d’incendie ou d’explosion :
a.
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.
b.
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.
3.
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.
4.
A
vant de mettre l’
appareil hors service ou au rebut,
retirer la porte du compartiment de séchage.
5.
Ne pas mettre la main ou le bras dans l’
appareil si le
tambour est en mouvement.
6.
Ne pas installer ou remiser l’appareil dans un endroit où
il e
st exposé aux intempérie
s.
7.
Ne pas modifier les mécanismes de commande.
8.
Ne pas réparer ou remplacer une pièce de l’
appareil ou
procéder à un dépannage, sauf si les instructions
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
a
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.
Ne
jamais
brancher le câble électrique de l’appareil sur une
prise murale non mise à la terre conformément aux
codes locaux et nationaux. Voir les instructions
d’installation pour la mise à la terre de cet appareil.
14.
Ne pas s’asseoir sur la sécheuse.
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.
Importantes consignes de sécurité

Sélection des options
Extended Tumble (culbutage prolongé,
certains modèles)
Cette option permet de réduire le froissement au minimum
lorsque le cycle Auto Dry Wrinkle Control est sélectionné. Le
linge continue à culbuter à froid pendant 6
0 minute
s à la fin
du c
ycle. On peut enlever le linge à tout moment de cette
portion du cycle.
Il est possible d’annuler les 60 minutes supplémentaires de
culbut
age à froid en mett
ant le sélecteur sur
Off (arrêt).
End of Cycle Signal
(signal de fin de cycle)
Une fois le cycle terminé, la sécheuse produit un signal
sonore. Sur certains modèles, le signal sonore peut être
baissé ou Off.
Enlever le linge immédiatement pour réduire le froissement.
Sélection du cycle
Pour sélectionner un cycle, tourner le sélecteur au réglage
désiré. L’utilisation d’un cycle de Auto Dry (séchage
automatique) signifie que le sélecteur doit pointer entre More
Dry (plus sec) et Less Dry (moins sec) pour la plupart des
charge
s.
Les plus grosses charges nécessitent parfois le réglage
More Dry pour sécher complètement. Il e
st préférable de
sécher le linge au réglage Less Dry lorsque les tissus sont
plus légers ou que le linge doit rester légèrement humide à
la fin du cycle.
Auto Dry Regular (séchage automatique
des tissus ordinaires)
L
e c
ycle de séchage automatique ordinaire e
st conçu pour
sécher la plupar
t des articles en coton et le linge de maison.
À la fin du cycle, les vêtements refroidissent pendant environ
10 minutes pour réduire les faux plis.
Auto Dry Wrinkle Control (antifroissement
séchage automatique)
Ce c
ycle e
st prévu pour le séchage automatique de
s cotons,
tissus synthétique
s, tricots doubles et autres tissus
infroissables. À la fin du cycle, les vêtements sont refroidis
pendant 25 minutes environ pour réduire les faux plis. Si la
charge n’est pas enlevée de la sécheuse et qu’un
Extended
T
umble
(culbut
age prolongé, cer
t
ains modèle
s) a été choisi,
le c
ycle avance jusqu’à Culbutage prolongé pour un
supplément de culbutage sans chaleur (voir étape 2).
TYPE DE LINGE
