personal injury or death.
CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor
personal injury.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

MPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
I) Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2) To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode. Any material on which you have used a
cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with
flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in
the dryer, until all traces of these flammable liquids
or solids and their fumes have been removed.There
are many highly flammable items used in homes, such
as:acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene,
some liquid household cleaners, some spot
removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex
foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials
must not be dried on a heat setting. Foam rubber
materials when heated, can under certain
circumstances produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
The California Safe DrinldngWater and Toxic EnforcementAct of
1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas
can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including benzene, formaldehyde, and soot, due
primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid
petroleum (LP) fuels. Exhaust ducts should be kept free of
obstructions and properly exhausted dryers will minimize
exposure.
3) Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
4) Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door to the drying compartment.
5) Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
6) Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
7) Do not tamper with controls.
8) Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and
have the sldlls to carry out.
9) Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
10) Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
I I) Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding
areas free from lint accumulation, dust and dirt.
12) The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
13) This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the
appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded
adequately and in accordance with local and national codes.
See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.

PERATING T PS
After each load.
To shorten drying time.
To operate more energy efficiently.
NOTE: Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter
in place.
By placing only one wash load in the dryer at a time.
• Avoid very small loads or mixing heavyweight and
lightweight clothes.
• When only one or two articles need drying, add a few
similar items to improve tumbling and drying efficiency.
• When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or
comforter, it may be necessary to reposition the load
during the cycle to ensure even drying.
• After loading the dryer.
• To controlstatic cling.
Before the load becomes warm.This helps prevent greasy-

Step Select a Cycle
Sensor Dry -Automatically senses the moisture in the load
and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level (very
dry to damp dry) is reached.This cycle is recommended for
the majority of loads including delicates, wrinkle free and
cotton/sturdy items like towels, bedding and jeans.
Time Dry - May be selected for any load if Sensor Dry is
not used. Press the up or down arrow pad to select the
desired number of minutes.
Air Fluff- Provides tumbling in unheated air. Used for
freshening items. Press the up or down arrow pad to select
the desired number of minutes.
Wrinlde Release - Will release wrinldes from items that are
clean and dry but slightly wrinlded, such as from a crowded
closet or suitcase or from sitting in the dryer too long after
the end of the cycle. It provides 8 minutes of heated tumbling
and 10 minutes of cool down tumbling without heat.
