If you wish to use fabric softener on your load, be sure the fabric softener switch is turned to 'On'. See Care and Cleaning for dispenser cleaning procedures.

Energy Saver (on select models)

The Energy Saver option reduces water temperature a few degrees to save energy, lowers water usage slightly and also extracts more water to reduce drying time.

Washing Procedures

1. Sort laundry into loads that can be washed together.

• Sort items by recommended cycle and water temperature.
• Separate white, light and colorfast items from dark and non-colorfast items.
• Separate items that shed lint from items that attract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and corduroy items will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and bedspreads.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.
• Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate items from durable items.
• Do not machine wash items containing fiberglass. Small particles of fiberglass left in the drum may transfer to fabrics in other loads and cause skin ir- ritation and/or damage to fabrics.

2. Prepare items for washing.

• Empty pockets.

• Brush off: lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, button buttons, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trims and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage dur- ing washing.
• Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.
• Place delicate and small items such as bras, ho- siery and baby socks in a mesh bag.

3. Pretreat stains and heavy soil.

• See Stain Removal Guide in this guide for safe, successful stain re- moval instructions.

4. Add a measured amount of detergent to the wash tub before adding the laundry load.

• Follow detergent manufacturer's directions. The amount required depends on type of detergent, load size and soil level, and water hardness.

Dryer Operating instructions

Drying Cycle Selection

Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle desired.

To change the cycle after it has begun, push in or turn the cycle selector knob to pause the current running cycle. Make the new selection and push in the cycle selector knob again to start the new cycle.

Auto Dry Cycles

Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars in the front of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto Dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to a specific dryness level. Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics.

When the load has reached the dryness level, it will continue to tumble during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during unloading.

Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry, the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few minutes. If this occurs, select a Timed Dry cycle.

Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time.

Norrnal

Select this cycle to dry everyday fabrics including cot- tons, linens and sheets.

Heavy Duty

Select this Auto Dry cycle to dry durable fabrics such as work wear and overalls.

Dellcates

Select this cycle to dry knits and delicates.

Casual

Select this cycle to dry cottons, blends and permanent press items with a no-iron finish.

Cotton Towels (on select models)

Select this cycle to dry heavy loads such as towels and non-rubber-backed bath mats.

Timed Dry Cycles

Express Dry

Select this timed cycle to quickly dry a small load made up of just a few items. It provides approximately 20 min- utes of tumbling followed by a cool down period.

Refresh (on select models)

Select Refresh to help remove wrinldes from dean and dry items that were not taken from the dryer at the end of the cycle, have been stored in crowded closets or drawers, or unpacked from luggage following a trip. It provides approximately 10 minutes of tumbling followed by a 5-minute cool down period.

Time Dry

To manually select the drying time for any load, turn the knob to a numbered setting: 15 (on select models), 30, or 90 minutes. Moisture sensing bars (if equipped) are not active and dryer will continue to heat throughout the cycle until the final cool down period.

Drying Cycle Settings

Drying Temperature

Select the temperature setting most suitable for each load. To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are available with every cycle. If an unavailable temperature setting is selected by the user, the nearest available temperature will be substituted.

The Air Dry setting can be used only in a timed cycle. Air Dry setting tumbles the load without heat. Use Air Dry to freshen clothing, pillows or blankets, or to dust draperies.

Chime

A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if selected.

Other Features

Drying Rack (some models)

Use the drying rack to dry items which should not be tumble dried.

1. Open the dryer door and remove the lint screen.
2. Insert drying rack into the dryer drum. Place the front bar under the lip of the lint screen opening.
3. Place items to be dried on top of the rack. Weight should not exceed 10 Ibs. Leave space between items, but do not let items hang over the sides or through the grids. Do not tumble other items when using the drying rack.
4. Select a timed cycle. If items to be dried contain plastic, foam rubber, rubber-like materials, feathers or down, then only use the Air Dry temperature setting.
5. When items are dry, remove the rack and replace the lint screen. If lint screen is not in place, tumbling items could enter the exhaust system and cause damage to the dryer.

Common Drying Problems

Many drying problems involve poor cleaning results from washing including poor soil and stain removail residues of lint and scum, and fabric damage. For satisfactory drying results0 follow these suggestions provided by The Soap and Deter- gent Association.

Greasy, oily stains

• Fabric softener sheet.

1. Rub fabric softener stains with bar soap. Rinse and rewash.

• Add a few bath towels to small loads for proper tumbling.
• Some "silk-like" fabrics should be air dried.
• Use proper drying temperature.
• Place fabric softener sheet on top of load before starting the dryer.

Lint

• Overloading.
• Overdrying causes static electricity.
• Lint screen not clean when cycle began.
• Lint "pills" clinging to fabric

1. Reduce load size and rewash using liquid fabric softener in the final rinse.
2. Or, add a fabric softener sheet and tumble without heat.
3. Use lint brush or roller to remove lint.

• Do not overload dryer.
• Use fabric softener in washer or dryer to reduce static electricity.
• Remove items when they are slightly damp to avoid overdrying.
• Check that lint filter is clean and in place.

Pilling (Fibers break off, ball up and cling to fabric.)

• Overdrying.

1. Use a lint brush or shaver to re- move lint pills.

• Use fabric softener to lubricate fibers.
• When ironing, use spray starch or fabric finish on collars and cuffs.
• Turn items inside out to reduce abrasion.

Shrinking

• Temperature too high.
• Overdrying.

1. Irreversible condition.
2. Follow fabric care label directions.

• If shrinking is a concern, check load often.
• Remove items while slightly damp and hang or lay fiat to complete drying.
• Block knits into shape.

Wrinkling

• Overloading.
• Leaving items in dryer after cycle ends.

1. Reduce load size and tumble at medium or low heat for 5-10 minutes.
2. Remove items immediately. Hang or fold.

• Do not overload dryer.
• Remove items as soon as cycle ends.

Operating Your Dryer

1. Prepare load for drying.

• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same load.
• Separate dark items from light-colored items. Sepa- rate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.
• Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently set some stains.
• Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.
• Be sure buckles, but- tons and trim are heat- proof and won't dam- age the drum finish. Close zippers, button buttons, fasten hooks and VeJcro®dike fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.

2. Check that the lint filter is clean and in place.

3. Load the dryer and close the door.

• Load items loosely. The average wet load will fiil the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.
• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
• When drying large items, dry only two or three items at a time. Fiii out the load with small and medium sized items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three similar items to improve tumbling action.

4. Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each load.

• See Dryer Operating Instructions on previous pages.

5. Start the dryer.

• Close the dryer door. The dryer will not operate with the door open.
• Push in or turn the cycle selector knob or turn any option knob to "wake" the dryer. You will hear three beeps to indicate dryer is ready to operate.
• After making your selections, push in the selector knob to start the cycle. You will hear one beep before the drum begins to rotate.
• To add or remove items when the dryer is running, push in the cycle selector knob to pause the cycle and open the door. Opening the door with a cycle running will also pause the cycle. You will hear two beeps. Allow the drum to come to a complete stop before reaching inside. Add or remove the item, close the door and push in the selector knob again, continuing the current cycle.
• To stop a running cycle, push in the cycle selector knob.

6. When the cycle ends, remove items immedi-ately and hang or fold.

Care and Cleaning

• Before cleaning the laundry center interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
• Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer infe- rior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.

INSIDE DRYER

• Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-up on the filter restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times. The filter is located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the filter.
• Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint filter and/ or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash them with warm, soapy wa- ter. Dry the filter thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.
• If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before drying the next load.
• Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up could result in inemcient drying and possible fire hazard.

INSIDE WASHER

• Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer.
• Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening, and the underside of the lid. These areas should always be dry before the lid is closed.
• Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
• When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain on the tub. Remove this by wiping the tub with a non- abrasive household cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.
• The base plate or tub may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future loads.

FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER

• Remove the dual chamber insert (a) from the bleach and fabric softener dispenser by pinching at the chamber divider and lifting upward. Also remove the siphon cap (b).
• Rinse the insert and cap with a combination of 31⁄4cup liquid chlo- rine bleach and 1 gallon hot tap water to remove any buildup. Large amounts of fabric softener residue may indicate improper dilution or more frequent cleaning is required. Rinse well with tap water.
• For the dispenser well, use a small brush to dean the recesses. Remove all residue.
• Replace the siphon cap and insert by pressing it in place until you hear a slight dick.

OUTSIDE

• When washing is completed, wipe top and sides of laundry center with a damp cloth. Turn water faucets off: to prevent pressure build-up in the hoses.
• Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers
• If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several times with clear water.
• When cleaning chrome parts, it is best to use only a damp cloth.
• Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of tape.
• Before moving the laundry center, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor.

Winterizing instructions

1. Turn off water supply faucets.
2. Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain water from hoses.
3. Hug electrical cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
4. Add 1 gallon (3.8 L) nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze to empty wash drum. Close door.
