seriousinjury.Contactaqualiedtechnicianimmediately.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may or may not hear the following sounds from your

new dryer:

A. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum is

supported by a set of suspension 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atspotontheedge

of the roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer

operatesandtheatspotssmoothout.

B. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is equipped with a

high volume air handling system. In some installations

there may be some sounds associated 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.

C. GAS VALVE(Gasmodelsonly.)Theowofgasis

controlled by electric solenoids. During operation there

may be a clicking sound as the valve opens and closes to

controlthegasow.

D. GAS BURNER (Gas models only.) When the burner

is operating, there may be sounds generated as the

airowmixeswiththegasame.Thisnoiseisnormal

and will only occur when the gas is ignited in the

combustion tube.

1Prepare 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, buttons and trim are heatproof•andwon’tdamagethedrumnish.Closezippers;

fasten hooks and Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie strings

and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

Cleanthelintlteraftereveryload.

2 Check that the lint lter is clean and in place.

NOTE

Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint,

harshness and a build up of static electricity.

NOTE

If a setting is not available for the cycle selected, the

indicator will not light.

3 Load the dryer and close the door.

Load items loosely. The average wet load will•ll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. Fill 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.

A suitable drying temperature, dryness level and•options will automatically be indicated for the cycle

selected. See the “Dryer Settings Chart” for more

details.

To change the drying temperature and dryness•level, press the Temperature or Dryness buttons to

scroll to the desired settings.

To select or delete an option, press Options; then,•while the indicator is blinking, press Select. The

indicator will light when the option has been se-

lected. It will no longer be lighted when the option

has been deleted.

Adjustments made to a cycle will be remembered•and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the

future.

Toreturntofactorysettings,presstheStart/Pause•and Select buttons at the same time and hold until

the signal sounds.

Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction to•select the cycle desired. The indicator for that cycle

will be illuminated.

The estimated drying time for Auto Dry cycles or•the actual drying time for Timed Dry cycles will be

displayed.

To add or remove items when the dryer is running,•open the door. The dryer will stop when the door

is opened. Allow the drum to come to a complete

stop before reaching inside.

Close the door and press Start to resume the cycle.•

6 When the cycle ends, remove items immedi-

ately and hang or fold.

Press and hold both for ten seconds

to return to factory settings.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle

desired. The indicator for that cycle will be illuminated.

To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel

button before selecting a new cycle. Just turning the

cycle selector knob to another selection will not change

the cycle. If the selection is changed after the cycle

starts, the indicator lights will blink, the signal will beep

and “

Err

” will be displayed. The signal will beep and the

statuslightswillash,buttheoriginalcyclewillcontinue.

Auto Dry Cycles

Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the

correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars

at the back 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 the desired dryness level. Auto

Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics.

The estimated drying time will be displayed for about 5

minutes. Then the outside of the display will light up in a

circular track to indicate the drying time is automatically

being determined by the sensors. When the load has

reached the selected dryness level, it will continue to

tumble during a cool down period. This helps reduce

wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during

unloading.

Cycle Selection

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.

Towels/Bedding

Select this Auto Dry cycle for towel loads.

Heavy

Select this Auto Dry cycle for sturdy work clothes.

Normal

Select this Auto Dry cycle for cotton items.

Casual

Select this Auto Dry cycle for cottons and blends with a

no-ironnish.

Delicates

Select this Auto Dry cycle for knits and delicate items.

Timed Dry Cycles

Quick

Select this timed cycle to quickly dry small loads in 25

minutes.

Timed Dry

To manually select the drying time for any load, turn

the knob to Timed Dry. Drying times from 15 to 90

minutes can be selected by continuing to turn the

knob. Drying time will be displayed. You will not be able

to select a Dryness level.
