Important Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before using the dryer. Retain

all instructions for future reference.

Properly install and locate in accordance with the

Installation Instructions.

Install or store dryer where it will NOT be exposed

to the weather.

Connect to a properly rated, protected, and sized

power supply circuit. See Electrical Requirements.

Have a qualified service technician install your

dryer.

The dryer must be properly grounded - see

Installation Instructions.

Should anyone get an electric shock from the dryer,

disconnect electrical power. DO NOT operate until

it has been repaired by a qualified service techni-

cian.

3. To prevent injury to children:

10.

Do not allow children to play inside, on, or with the

dryer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when

using the dryer.

When children are mature enough, instruct them in

the safe, correct use of the dryer.

Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking

the dryer.

Remove the door to the drying compartment before

the dryer is removed from service or discarded.

Do NOT tamper with the operating controls.

Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.

If the drum does not stop moving when the door is

opened, disconnect the electrical power to the

dryer. Do not operate the dryer until it has been

repaired by a qualified service technician.

To prevent personal injury and damage to the

dryer, do not repair or replace any part of the dryer

or attempt any servicing. Servicing should be

referred to a qualified service technician.

Keep pets away from dryer, and keep the dryer

door dosed at all times except while loading or

unloading. Pets may enter the dryer unnoticed

when the door is open and become entrapped when

the door is closed.

Lifetime lubrication is done at the factory, so the

dryer never needs to be oiled or greased.

Do NOT use fabric softeners or products to elimi-

nate static (unless recommended for use in clothes

dryers by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or

product).

Do NOT dry fiberglass articles unless recommend-

ed by the manufacturer.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Dry only articles which have been washed in water.

Articles which have been cleaned, washed,

soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, oil, waxes, chemical solvents, alcohol,

turpentine, or other flammable or explosive

materials will retain these substances. Do not dry

articles which still contain these flammable or

explosive substances as they give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam r_tb-

bet, plastics, or similarly textu_d rubberlike

materials.

Keep area around and underneath dryer free from

the accumulation of combustible materials, such

as lint, paper, rags, gasoline, and all other flam-

mable vapors and liquids.

Do not allow the storage of any material to obstruct

the ventilation air openings of the dryer.

To prevent extended drying time and risk of fire,

clean the lint screen after each load.

The interior of the machine and exhaust duct should

be cleaned periodically by a qualified service

technician.

The exhaust system should be periodically exam-

ined for damage to the exhaust duct and for free

operation of the exhaust deflector. Keep the area

around the exhaust opening and surrounding

areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and

dirt.

Recent studies have shown that if vegetable oil con-

taminated materials are incompletely washed, a

carry-over and buildup of the oil may contribute

to a chemical reaction (spontaneous combustion)

that could cause a load to catch fire by itself. This

would be more likely to happen if the load were

left in the dryer after tumbling stopped or if

items were folded and stacked while warm.

For Gas Dryers

Gas dryers are equipped to operate on natural gas

only. To convert a gas dryer for other gases, the

services of a qualified service technician must be

obtained.

Important Safety

Notice & Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic

Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the

Governor of California to publish a list of substances

known to the State of California to cause cancer or

reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the

burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some

of the listed substances, including benzene, formalde-

hyde, and soot, due primarily to the incomplete com-

bustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels.

Exhaust ducts should be kept free of obstructions and

properly exhausted dryers will minimize exposure.

Controls at a Glance

Step

Select Temperature

In order to select the correct temperature, turn the

temperature control to one of four choices; Regular,

Medium, Low or Air Fluff.

DRYER TEMPS LOAD TYPE

Regular

Medium

Low

Air Fluff

Sturdy cottons or labels

marked "Tumble Dry."

For wrinkle free/permanent

press synthetics, lightweight

cottons labeled "Tumble Dry

Medium."

For heat sensitive items

labeled "Tumble Dry Low" or

"Tumble Dry Medium."

Items which need freshening.

Load tumbles with room

temperature air.

Step

Select Options

Extended Wrinkle Out

Wrinkle Out is provided to minimize wrinkles in the

IntelliDry Wrinkle Free Fabrics cycle. This feature pro-

vides an extra 60 minutes of unheated tumble action at

the end of the cycle. Clothes can be removed any time

during this portion of the cycle. The additional 60 min-

utes of unheated tumbling can be cancelled by turning

the selector knob to OFF.

End of Cycle Signal

When the cycle is complete, asignal will sound several

times. The End of Cycle Signal volume is adjustable. To

adjust the volume, select any setting between Off and

Loud.

Remove load immediately to reduce wrinkling.

MAT_M;

Step

Select Cycle

To select a cycle, rotate the control dial to the desired

setting. When using an IntelliDry cycle, the control dial

should point between "More Dry" and "Less Dry" for

most loads.

Loads of larger or bulkier size may require the "More

Dry" setting to completely dry the load. The "Less

Dry" setting is best suited for lightweight fabrics or for

leaving some moisture in the clothing at the end of the

cycle.

IntelliDry Regular Fabrics

The IntelliDry Regular Fabrics cycle is designed to dry

most cottons and linens. At the end of the cycle, the

load is cooled for approximately 10 minutes to reduce

wrinkling.

IntelliDry Wrinkle Free Fabrics

The InteUiDry Wrinkle Free Fabrics cycle is designed to

dry wrinkle free cottons, synthetic fabrics, double knits

and permanent press fabrics automatically. At the end

of the cycle, the clothes are cooled for approximately 20

Cydes and options may vary by model.

minutes to reduce wrinkling. If the load is not removed

from the dryer and Extended Wrinkle Out On has been

selected, the cycle wil! advance to WRINKLE OUT

which provides additional unheated tumbling time.

(See Step 2).

Time DrylAir Fluff

This cycle can be used to regulate the drying time. Use

with Air Fluff, Low, Medium or Regular temperature

settings. For timed drying, turn the control dial clock-

wise until the pointer points to the proper time setting

in the Tinae Dry/Air Fluff cycle.

Special Options

Damp Dry is located on the Time Dry/Air Fluff section

of the dial. It is designed to partially dry items and can

be used with any temperature selection. Damp Dry

will provide 20 minutes of tumbling time, followed by

5 minutes of cool-down tumbling.

Wrinkle Release will release wrinkles from items that

are clean and dry but only slightly wrinkled, such as

from acrowded closet or suitcase, or from sittix_ in the

dryer too long after the cycle has ended. Wrinkle

Release provides 10 minutes of tumbling followed by

five minutes of cool-down tumbling and can be used

with any temperature selection.

Step

Push the Control

Dial in to Start

Push the control dial in to start the dryer. The dryer

door must be closed for the dryer to start.

Operating Tips

Clean the Lint Filter

• After each load.

•To shorten drying time.

•To operate more energy efficiently.

Load the Dryer Properly

• Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.

•Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will

dry differently. Lightweight clothes will dry, while

heavy clothes may be damp.

• Add one or more similar items to the dryer when

only one or two articles need drying. This improves

the tumbling action and drying efficiency.

• Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in

uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of

some fabrics.

stances.
