including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the dryer.

[] Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.

items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to

a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

[] Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,

washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry=

cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

[] Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

iMPORTANT: When discarding or storing your old clothes dryer, remove the door.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent,

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent,

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Good air flow

Along with heat, dryers require good air flow to efficiently

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 flow.

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 flow by:

[] Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

[] Replace plastic or foil vent material

with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid

vent material.

[] Use the shortest length of vent possible.

[] Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces air flow.

[]

Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

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 final product check.

Clear away items from in front of the dryer.

Use Eco Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Eco Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Eco Cycles, drying air

temperature and 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. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

With Timed Dry Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to

over-drying. Use Timed Dry Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying

rack.

a soft cloth.

2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.

3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum

Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle

to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.

NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as

denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may

discolor the rear of 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 qualified appliance servicer.

From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,

depending on dryer usage.

CLEANING THE LiNT SCREEN

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer.

The control panel has an indicator light to remind you to

clean the lint screen after each load. A screen blocked

by lint will increase drying time.

To clean:

1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen

with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove

lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

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.

[] 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 fingers.

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.

NON=USE, STORAGE, AND MOVING CARE

Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because

some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage

your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing

weather, winterize it.

Non=Use or Storage 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."

3, Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to

avoid unintended flooding (due to a water pressure

surge) while you are away.

Moving Care

For power supply cord-connected dryers:

1, Unplug the power supply cord.

2, Gas models only: Close shutoff valve in gas supply line.

3, Gas models only: Disconnect gas supply line pipe and

remove fittings attached to dryer pipe.

4, Gas models only: Cap the open gas supply line.

5, Steam models only: Shut off water faucet.

6, Steam models only: Disconnect the water inlet hose

from faucet, then drain the hose. Transport hose

separately.

7, Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.

8, Use tape to secure dryer door.

F SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

FOR STEAM MODELS

Water Inlet Hose

For gas dryers, make sure that the valve on the gas supply line

is open.

The water inlet valve on the dryer is used during the Steam function.

If the dryer has just been installed or unused for an extended period,

the valve may be louder and run longer. This is normal.

NOTE: The valve may make this noise even with no water line

connected.

This is normal. The thumping sound should diminish after afew

minutes of use.

Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean

out pockets before laundering.

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the

installation instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm

contact with the floor.

When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to

vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

On gas dryers, you may hear the gas valve clicking as it opens

and closes. This is normal.

Clean lint screen before each load.

Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the

outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not

feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace

exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See

"installation instructions".

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many

turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See 'qnstallation

instructions".

Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Automatic

cycles. See "Level the Dryer" in the 'qnstallation Instructions".

Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.

Select the right temperature for the types of garments being
