OPERATING THE
DRYER
Read operating instructions before operating the dryer.
(Located on console.)
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything
flammable on it (even after washing).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, explosion, or fire.
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of
oil on it (including cooking oils).
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be
dried on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
1. The lint screen must be cleaned before or after each
load. A blocked screen or exhaust will cause slow drying
and other problems.
2. If the dryer will not operate, check the following to be
sure:
• Electrical supply is not connected
• Fuse is good and fits tightly
• Door is closed, dryer will not operate with the door
open.
• Proper coins are inserted. Push slide in and slowly
pull out.
• Push-to-start button is pushed in firmly
Removing accumulated lint
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet.
Lint should be removed every 2 years of more often,
depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by
a qualified person.
From the ExhaustVent.
Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but
at least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a
new location.

Lubrication Instructions
Every Kenmore automatic dryer is thoroughly lubricated
at the time of assembly with lubricants designed to last
the normal life of the product. Under normal operating
conditions further lubrication should not be required.
In those instances where dryer operating time
accumulates rapidly, noise level may be reduced and
bearing life extended by proper lubrication. If repairs are
performed on the machine, then complete lubrication of
the repaired assemblies is desirable.
Effective, long-lasting lubrication of a dryer requires
lubricants designed for the particular application. The
following chart lists the recommended lubricant. This
lubricant is available from any Sears Parts Department.
