solvents, other flammable, or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

•Do not allow children to play on or in

the dryer. Close supervision of children

is necessary when the dryer is used

near children.

•Before the dryer is removed from service

or discarded, remove the door to the

drying compartment.

is moving.

•Do not install or store the dryer where

it will be exposed to the weather.

•Do not use fabric softeners or products

to eliminate static unless recommended

by the manufacturer of the fabric softener

CHECKING YOUR VENT

If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will

not be covered under the warranty.

NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will

be paid for by the customer, whether it was a paid

installation or self-installed. For paid installation, call

the company that installed the vent for adjustment.

1. Do not use plastic vent or flexible metal foil vent.

Use 4 in (10.16 cm)

heavy metal or flexible

metal vent. Do not kink

or crush flexible metal

vent. It must be

completely extended to

allow adequate exhaust

air to flow. Check vent

after installation. Refer

to your Installation

Instructions for proper

length requirements of vent.

3. The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left,

right, or straight out the

back of the dryer. Space

requirements are listed

in your Installation

Instructions.

2. Use a 4 in (10.16 cm) exhaust hood. Smaller

hoods increase drying

times.

wWARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can

result in death or fire.

Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and

shorten drying times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your

Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Install

your dryer in a well-ventilated room where the temperature is always above 45ºF (7ºC). Also

make sure that your dryer is leveled. Refer to your installation Instructions for more

information.

CHECKING YOUR VENT

VENTING (CONT.)

6. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use,

but at least every 2

years, or when installing

your dryer in a new

location.

•Disconnect vent from

the dryer and clean one

section at a time until

you reach the exhaust

hood.

•Use the hose attach-

ment on your vacuum,

or a pole or wire with a feather duster or rag

attached, to clean out lint.

•Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent

moves freely.

•When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the

Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer

for final product check.

4. Use the straightest path possible when routing

the exhaust vent. Use

the fewest number of

elbows and turns. Allow

room when using

elbows or making turns.

Bend vent gradually to

avoid kinking.

5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use

screws to secure vent.

Lint may catch on

screws.

Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with

a damp cloth to remove dust from storing and

shipping.

1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close

the door. Do not pack

the dryer; allow space

for clothes to tumble

freely.

2. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recom-

mended cycle for the

type of load being dried.

•Use the Energy

Preferred Automatic

Setting (*) to dry

most loads.

NOTE: On some

models, the Tempera-

ture selector is part of

the Cycle Control knob.

3. If your dryer has a Temperature selector, set it to

the recommended setting for the type of fabric

being dried. The cycle descriptions on the

following pages include temperature setting

suggestions.

USING YOUR DRYER

STARTING YOUR DRYER

wWARNING

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.

wWARNING

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.

4. (OPTIONAL STEP) Some dryers have an On/Off

FINISH GUARD®selector, or an Off/30 min. or

90 min. FINISH GUARD®Plus selector. These

features protect your clothes from wrinkling when

you do not remove them from the dryer as soon

as it stops.

•Set the FINISH GUARD selector to On to

tumble the load without heat every few minutes

up to 45 minutes after the drying cycle ends.

•The FINISH GUARD Plus selector lets you

choose up to 30 or 90 minutes of periodic

unheated tumble time after the drying cycle

ends.

•A signal will sound every few minutes while

FINISH GUARD (FINISH GUARD Plus) is

running if the Cycle Signal (End of Cycle

Signal) feature is set to On. The signal and

cycle end when you open the dryer door.

•Set the FINISH GUARD (FINISH GUARD Plus)

selector to Off if you do not want to run this

feature.

NOTE: Some dryers have a FINISH GUARD feature

that cannot be turned On or Off. See page 13.

5. (OPTIONAL STEP) If your dryer has a Cycle

Signal (End of Cycle Signal) selector, set the

selector to On if you want the dryer to sound

a signal when a cycle is finished.

•The signal is helpful when you are drying

permanent press, synthetics, and other items

that should be removed from the dryer as

soon as it stops.

•On some models, the End of Cycle Signal is

part of the Start (Push to Start) button.

•On some models, the signal volume can be

adjusted from Softer to Louder.

6. Push the Start (Push to Start) button.

NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when a

cycle ends.

Stopping and restarting your dryer

You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.

To stop your dryer:

Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob

to Off.

NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an

Off area when the dryer is not in use.

To restart your dryer:

Close the door, select a new cycle and temperature

(if desired), and push the Start (Push to Start)

button.

USING YOUR DRYER

SELECTING A CYCLE AND TEMPERATURE SETTING

The following pages describe the drying cycles

on your dryer. The descriptions include suggested

temperature settings and drying times for various

loads.

Cycle and temperature tips

•Make sure you have selected the correct cycle

and temperature for your load.

•Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred

Automatic Setting (*).

•Use an air cycle (or temperature setting), or line

dry rubber, plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive

fabrics.

•If some types of loads in the cycle descriptions

on the following pages have more than one

suggested temperature setting, choose the

lowest setting available on your dryer.

•The last few minutes of all cycles are without

heat to make the load cooler to handle.

Drying tips

•Always follow care label directions when they are

available.

•If you use fabric softener sheets, always use soft-

ener sheets that are labeled as dryer safe and fol-

low package instructions carefully.

•Remove the load from the dryer as soon as

tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is

especially important for permanent press, knits,

and synthetic fabrics.
