grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the dryer: if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
Venting
Venting Requirements
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney,
wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space of a
building. Only rigid or exible metal vent shall be used
for exhausting.
4"
(102 mm)
4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent
■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps
may be used.
■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent:
■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent:
(Acceptable only if it is accessible to clean)
■ Must be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location.
■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result
in reduced airow and poor performance.
■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.
■ The total length should not exceed 7¾ ft. (2.4 m).
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged
with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal
or exible metal vents. Review “Vent System Chart” and, if
necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying
performance.
7
Exhaust hoods:
■ Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object
that may obstruct exhaust (such as owers, rocks, bushes,
or snow).
Recommended Style:
Louvered hood Box hood
Acceptable Style:
Angled hood
Elbows
45° elbows provide better airow than 90° elbows.
Good Better
Clamps
■ Use clamps to seal all joints.
■ Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws
or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the
duct, because they can catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

Determine vent path
■ Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors.
■ Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows
and turns.
■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
as possible.
■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■ Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for
best drying performance
■ Use the “Vent System Chart” below to determine the type of
vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied in
the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specied will:
■ Shorten the life of the dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.

2pillowcases
Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Your dryer tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.
Drying tips
■ Follow care label directions when they are available.
■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
■ Remove load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for Normal, knits,
and synthetic fabrics.
Cycle and temperature tips
■ Dry most loads using the Normal cycle.
■ Use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat-
sensitive fabrics.
■ Line-dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for
various loads, refer to the care label directions.
Cycles
Cycle Control knob
Normal
This automatic cycle shuts off the dryer when the selected
dryness is reached. The Cycle Control knob does not move
until the load is almost dry. After the cool down, the knob
automatically turns to an Off area and tumbling stops.
Dry most loads using the Normal cycle.
■ If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Less
Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
■ If the load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using
Timed Dry. The next time you dry a similar load, select a
setting closer to More Dry.
NOTE: Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to
the type of fabric and size of load.
Air Dry
Use this cycle for items that require drying without heat, such
as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. See the chart for
examples of items that can be dried using Air Dry.
Type of Load Time*
Foam rubber - pillows,
padded bras, stuffed toys
20 - 30
Plastic - shower curtains,
tablecloths
20 - 30
Rubber-backed rugs 40 - 50
Olen, polypropylene, sheer
nylon
10 - 20
*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
When using Air Dry
■ Check that coverings are securely stitched.
■ Shake and uff pillows by hand periodically during cycle.
■ Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after the
automatic cycle.
Timed Dry is also useful for:
■ Heavyweight items and work clothes that require a long
drying time.
■ Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses and knits that
require a short drying time.
For damp dry, turn the Cycle Control knob to 30 minutes or less.
End of Cycle Signal
The dryer sounds a signal to let you know when the cycle is
nished. The signal is not adjustable and cannot be turned off.
The signal is helpful when you are drying permanent press,
synthetics and other items that should be taken out as soon as
the dryer stops.
12
Dryer Care
Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
ow of combustion and ventilation air.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located inside the dryer drum, on the back wall.
Clean it before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase
drying time.
To clean:
1. Open the door and pull the lint screen straight out.
2. Squeeze body of lint screen lightly while pulling off the cover.
3. Roll lint off the screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash
screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
4. Replace cover on lint screen body. Push the lint screen rmly
back into place and close the door.
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.
■ Some towels made of synthetic bers and natural bers
(polyester and cotton blends) may shed more lint than other
towels, causing your dryer’s lint screen to ll up faster. Be sure
to remove lint from the lint screen before and after drying new
towels.
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 the screen.
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 the lint screen cover and body with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.
Scrub lint screen cover and body with the brush to remove
residue buildup.
4. Rinse with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen body and cover with a clean towel.
Replace in dryer.
Cleaning the Dryer Interior
To clean dryer drum:
1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very
warm water.
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.
OR
Apply a liquid, nonammable household cleaner to the
stained area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye is
removed.
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable 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 unstable dye items inside-out to
avoid transfer of dye.
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 person.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage.
Vacation and Moving Care
Vacation Care
Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on
vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time,
you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
Moving Care
1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
3. Use masking tape to secure dryer door.

The dryer is located in a room with
temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45ºF (7ºC).
The dryer is located in a closet. 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 5½" (140 mm). See “Location
Requirements.”
The load may not be contacting the
Moisture Sensors on Normal Cycles.
Check the levelness of the dryer. All four feet should be in rm
contact with the oor.
Cycle time is too short The Normal cycle is ending early. Change the dryness level setting on Normal cycles. Increasing
or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of
drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending too early,
see “Cycles.”
Lint on load Lint screen is clogged with lint. Clean lint screen before each load.
Stains on load Improper use of fabric softener. Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain
your garments.
Stains on drum Loose dyes in clothes. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled The load was not removed from dryer
at the end of the cycle.
Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean only garments
are not recommended.
The dryer was tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.
Odors Recent painting, staining, or
varnishing in the area where your
dryer is located.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the
area, rewash and dry the clothing.
Dryer being used for the rst time. The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the rst cycle.

poids total (sécheuse et charge) de 115lb (52kg). Il faut aussi
prendre en compte le poids combiné d’un appareil ménager
voisin.
■ Un plancher de niveau ayant une pente maximale de
1 po (25 mm) sous l’ensemble de la sécheuse.
Ne pas faire fonctionner la sécheuse à des températures
inférieures à 45°F (7°C). À des températures inférieures, la
sécheuse risque de ne pas s’arrêter à la n d’un programme
automatique. Les durées de séchage risquent alors d’augmenter.
La sécheuse ne doit pas être installée ou remisée dans un endroit
où elle sera exposée à l’eau ou aux intempéries.
Vérier les spécications des codes. Certains codes limitent
ou interdisent l’installation des sécheuses dans un garage,
un placard, une résidence mobile ou une chambre à coucher.
Contacter l’inspecteur en bâtiments local.

Spécications électriques
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de choc électrique
Brancher sur une prise à 3 alvéoles reliée à la terre.
Ne pas enlever la broche de liaison à la terre.
Ne pas utiliser un adaptateur.
Ne pas utiliser un câble de rallonge.
Le non-respect de ces instructions peut causer
un décès, un incendie ou un choc électrique.
■ Une source d’alimentation de 120 V CA à 60Hz uniquement et
protégée par fusible de 15 ou 20A est nécessaire.
■ On recommande d’utiliser un fusible ou un disjoncteur
temporisé.
Vérier que le fusible ou le disjoncteur correspond aux
caractéristiques de la ligne électrique.
■ Il est également recommandé de raccorder l’appareil sur un
circuit distinct exclusif à cet appareil.
■ Ne pas utiliser de rallonge.
Pour une sécheuse reliée à la terre et connectée par
un cordon :
Cette sécheuse doit être reliée à la terre. En cas de mauvais
fonctionnement ou de panne, la liaison à la terre réduira le
risque de choc électrique en offrant au courant électrique un
acheminement d'évacuation de moindre résistance. Cette
sécheuse est alimentée par un cordon électrique comportant
un conducteur relié à la terre et une che de branchement
munie d'une broche de liaison à la terre. La che doit être
branchée sur une prise appropriée qui est bien installée et
reliée à la terre conformément à tous les codes et règlements
locaux.
INSTRUCTIONS DE LIAISON À LA TERRE
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
AVERTISSEMENT :
Le raccordement incorrect de
cet appareil au conducteur de liaison à la terre peut susciter
un risque de choc électrique. En cas de doute quant à la
qualité de liaison à la terre de la sécheuse, consulter un
électricien ou un technicien ou un personnel qualié. Ne pas
modier la che de branchement fournie avec la sécheuse;
si la che ne correspond pas à la conguration de la prise de
courant, demander à un électricien qualié d'installer une
prise de courant appropriée.
Évacuation
Exigences concernant l’évacuation
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour réduire le risque d’incendie,
cette sécheuse doit ÉVACUER L’AIR À L’EXTÉRIEUR.
IMPORTANT: Observer les dispositions de tous les codes et
règlements en vigueur.
Le conduit d’évacuation de la sécheuse ne doit pas être raccordé
à une évacuation de gaz, une cheminée, un mur, un plafond,
un grenier, un vide sanitaire ou un vide de construction. Seul un
conduit d’évacuation métallique rigide ou souple doit être utilisé
pour le système d’évacuation.
