Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warning exactly could
result in serious injury, death, or property
damage.
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flam-
mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• DO NOT try to light any appliance.
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch; DO
NOT use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building or area of all oc-
cupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the fire department.
• Installation and service must be performed
by a qualified installer, service agency or
the gas supplier.
4
Prevent Fire
• DO NOT dry items that have been
previously cleaned in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, waxes, or other flammable or
explosive substances. DO NOT store
these items on or near the dryer. These
substances give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Clean the lint screen before or after each
load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen
housing and exhaust duct should be
cleaned approximately every 18 months
by qualified service personnel. An exces-
sive amount of lint build-up in these ar-
eas could result in inefficient drying and
possible fire. See
Care and Cleaning
.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer produces combustible
lint. The dryer must be connected to an
outdoor exhaust. Regularly inspect the
outdoor exhaust opening and remove
any accumulation of lint around the
opening and in the surrounding area.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, or injury to persons when using
this dryer, comply with the basic warn-
ings listed below. Failure to comply with
the Important Safety Instruction warn-
ings could result in property damage,
serious personal injury, or death.
Safety
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially haz-
ardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT
Indicates installation, operation, or main-
tenance information which is important
but not hazard-related.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazard-
ous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.
DANGER
DANGER indicates an imminently haz-
ardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
Definitions
This is the safety alert symbol. It is
used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety messages
that follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
• 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. To reduce the risk of fire
due to contaminated loads, the final part
of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping
a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat
is dissipated.
• DO NOT dry articles containing rubber,
plastic or similar materials such as bras,
galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby
pants, plastic bags and pillows that may
melt or burn. Some rubber materials,
when heated, can under certain circum-
stances produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
• DO NOT operate the dryer if the lint
screen is blocked, damaged or missing.
Fire hazard, overheating and damage to
fabrics can occur.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of ventilating
air. DO NOT stack or place laundry or
throw rugs against the front or back of
the dryer.
• DO NOT spray any type of aerosol into,
on or near dryer at any time.
5
Safety
• DO NOT use fabric softeners or products
to eliminate static unless recommended
by the manufacturer of the fabric softener
or product.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to
the dryer, the electrical power cord of a
gas dryer must be plugged into a proper-
ly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet.
The third grounding prong must never
be removed. Never ground the dryer to a
gas pipe. DO NOT use an extension cord
or an adaptor plug.
• ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the
electrical supply before attempting any
service or cleaning. Failure to do so can
result in electrical shock or injury.
• DO NOT use any type of spray cleanser
when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous
fumes or electrical shock could occur.
• To prevent injury, DO NOT reach into the
dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until
the dryer has stopped completely before
reaching into the drum.
Prevent Injury And Damage To

• DO NOT sit on, step on or stand on the
dryer. DO NOT rest heavy loads on top.
The dryer is not meant to support weight.
• DO NOT install or store the dryer where it
will be exposed to the weather.
• Thermal limiter switches automatically
turn off the motor in the unlikely event of
an overheated situation. A service techni-
cian must replace the thermal limiter
switch(es) after correcting the fault.
• Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in serious personal injuries.
WARNING
DO NOT continue to use the dryer if you
hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or oth-
er unusual noises. This could be a sign of
mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or
serious injury. Contact a qualified tech-
nician immediately.
• Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in fire, explosion, serious
bodily injury and/or damage to the dryer.
Protect Children
• DO NOT allow children to play on or in
the dryer. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the dryer is used near
children. As children grow, teach them
the proper, safe use of all appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and
other packing materials after the dryer is
unpacked. Children might use them for
play. Cartons covered with rugs, bed-
spreads or plastic sheets can become
airtight chambers.
• Keep laundry products out of children’s
reach. To prevent personal injury, observe
all warnings on product labels.
• Before the dryer is removed from service
or discarded, remove the dryer door to
prevent accidental entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Injury
• To prevent shock hazard and assure
stability during operation, the dryer must
be installed and electrically grounded by
a qualified service person in accordance
with local codes. Installation instructions
are packed in the dryer for the installer’s
reference. Refer to
Installation Instruc-
tions
for detailed grounding procedures.
If the dryer is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by a
qualified service person.

Operating Instructions
WARNING
DO NOT operate dryer without lint filter
in place.
STEPS
TIPS IMPORTANT
1. Prepare
load for
drying.
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and con-
struction in the same load.
• Separate dark items from light-colored
items. Separate 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, rubber coated, or small items
in a mesh bag (not included).
• Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heat-
proof and won’t damage the drum finish.
Close zippers; fasten hooks and loop fasten-
ers. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snag-
ging and tangling.
DO NOT machine
wash items contain-
ing fiberglass. Small
particles of fiberglass
left in drum may
transfer to fabrics
in other loads and
cause skin irritation
and/or damage to
fabrics.
DO NOT wash water
resistant and water
repellent type cloth-
ing or other materials.
2. Check that
the lint filter
is clean
and in
place.
DO NOT operate
dryer without lint filter
in place.
3. Load the
dryer and
close the
door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load
will fill 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.
• When drying large items, dry only two or
three items at a time. Fill out the load with
smaller items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or
three similar items to improve tumbling ac-
tion.
DO NOT overload
the dryer. To save en-
ergy, time and avoid
uneven drying and
wrinkling avoid over-
loading the dryer.
DO NOT over-dry.
Over-drying can
cause wrinkles,
shrinkage, lint, and
a build up of static
electricity.
Operating Your Dryer
WARNING
Clean the lint filter after every load.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS in this

appropriate
cycle and
settings for
each load.
• See
Cycle Selection
and
Cycle Settings
for
detailed descriptions of cycle controls.
• See
Cycle Setting Charts
to determine which
settings are available for each cycle.
• To provide the best care, not every setting
or option is available with every cycle. If a
setting or option is not available for the cycle
selected, the indicator will not light. See

tion or repeatedly press the cycles button
(depending on your model) to scroll to the
desired cycle. The indicator light for the
cycle selected will be illuminated and the
estimated drying time for Auto Dry cycles or
the actual drying time for Time Dry cycles
will be displayed on the LED display screen.
Default settings and options will automati-
cally be indicated for the cycle selected. In

for more details.
To change the cycle once it has begun,
press the cancel button before select-
ing a new cycle. Just turning the cycle
selector ring or pressing the cycles
button WILL NOT change the cycle.
Auto Dry Cycles
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of
selecting the correct drying time for each
load. Moisture sensors 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 the desired dryness level.
Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and
protect fabrics. When the load has reached
the selected dryness level, it will continue to
tumble, unheated, during a cool down pe-
riod. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes
items easier to handle during unloading.
Controls and Settings
SELECTING THE RIGHT CYCLE TO SAVE ENERGY
This dryer has been specifically designed with options to help you save energy and at
the same time utilize the optimal drying setting for your clothing.
The normal cycle was used to rate the dryer for energy efficiency. The
normal cycle defaults to normal temperature setting, normal dryness level
and eco mode option (if available) on.
Some cycles save more energy than others. Cycles that use the least amount of heat
save the most energy. Use the lowest heat setting (auto and timed dry cycles) and less
dry setting (auto dry cycles) to save on energy and prevent over drying your clothing.
NOTE
Initial cycle times for Auto Dry cycles are
only estimates, the actual drying time
may differ slightly from the time displayed.
Cycle Selection
Drying times vary depending on size and
dampness of the load and fabric type. If
the load is too small or almost dry, the
moisture sensors may not detect enough
moisture to continue the cycle and the
cycle may end after a few minutes. If this

Care & Cleaning
Inside
• 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 water. Dry
the filter thoroughly and replace. DO
NOT operate the dryer without the lint
filter in place.
• If the dryer drum becomes stained from
non colorfast fabrics, clean the drum
with a damp cloth and a mild liquid
household cleanser. Remove cleanser
residue before drying the next load.
• Before cleaning the dryer drum interior,
unplug the electrical power cord to avoid
electrical shock hazards.
• DO NOT use any type spray cleanser
when cleaning the dryer interior. Hazard-
ous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
• Every 18 months a qualified service pro-
fessional should clean the dryer cabinet
interior, lint screen housing and exhaust
duct. These areas can collect lint and
dust over time. An excessive amount
of lint build-up could result in inefficient
drying and possible fire hazard.
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to
persons or property, comply with the ba-
sic warnings listed in the Important Safe-
ty Instructions and those listed below.
Outside
• Clean the dryer 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.
• Remove glue residue from tape or labels
with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent. Or, touch residue with the
sticky side of the tape or label.
WARNING
Clean the lint filter after every load.
CLEAN LINT will be displayed at the
end of the cycle to remind you to re-
move lint from the filter.
Cleaning the Filter
IMPORTANT
• DO NOT open the clamshell filter
beyond the hinge limit.
• ALWAYS handle the clamshell filter by
the frame, not by the mesh material.
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.
2. Press down the center tab on the top
of the filter to open the clamshell.
3. Gently clean the lint from the filter.
4. Snap the filter closed and place back
into the dryer.
1. Remove the filter by pulling it straight up
from the dryer.

Solutions to Common Inquiries
Normal Operating Sounds
B
C
D
E
A
You may or may not hear the following
sounds from your new dryer:
A. WATER VALVE (Steam models only.)
The flow of water is controlled by elec-
tric solenoids. During operation there
may be a clicking sound as the valve
opens and closes to control the water
flow.
B. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer
drum is supported by a set of suspen-
sion rollers. At times there may be a
thumping or rolling sound when the
dryer starts. This may happen if the
dryer has not been in use for a period of
time, or after a heavy load has remained
in the dryer drum for an extended
period, creating a temporary flat spot on
the edge of the roller. The noise should
dissipate as the dryer operates and the
flat spots smooth out.
C. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer
is equipped with a high volume air
handling system. In some installations
there may be some sounds associ-
ated with air movement throughout the
dryer, including the air duct, blower, and
exhaust system. This is normal and can
vary with load size and type.
D. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.) The
flow of gas is controlled by electric so-
lenoids. During operation there may be
a clicking sound as the valve opens and
closes to control the gas flow.
E. GAS BURNER (Gas models only.)
When the burner is operating, there may
be sounds generated as the air flow
mixes with the gas flame. This noise is
normal and will only occur when the gas
is ignited in the combustion tube.
Before Operating Your
Dryer
Read the important instructions in this
section of the
Use & Care Guide
