Energy Saving Tips

•

Keep the lint screen clean and exhaust the dryer correctly.

•

Sort laundry properly and select proper temperature and

cycle settings. Choose an automatic dry cycle whenever

possible for accurate drying time.

•

Dry only full loads. Single items and small loads usually take

longer to dry.

•

Avoid overloading, adding wet items to a partially dry load,

and overdrying.

•

Dry one load after another to take advantage of a warm dryer.

•

Opening the door needlessly causes warm air to escape,

which prolongs drying time.

•

If possible, use the dryer on low humidity days.

•

Install the dryer in an area where the room temperature is

at least 45°F (7°C).

Care and Cleaning

- FIRE HAZARD - A clothes dryer produces

combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an outdoors

exhaust. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and

remove any accumulation of lint around the opening and in

the surrounding area.

Clean the lint ﬁ lter after every load.

Do not store or place laundry products on top

of dryer at any time. They can damage the ﬁ nish or controls.

Features

END OF CYCLE SIGNAL

A signal will sound at the end of the cycle and periodically

during Wrinkle Free/Press Saver (some models) if selected.

DRUM LIGHT (some models)

The drum light will come on whenever the door is opened to

illuminate the drum during loading and unloading. Closing

the door turns off the light.

REVERSIBLE DOOR

Your dryer is equipped with a reversible door. The door can

be hinged on the right or left side.

For step-by-step instructions on DOOR REVERSAL, re-

fer to the Installation Instructions supplied with this dryer.

To reduce risk of ﬁ re or serious injury to per-

sons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed in the

Important Safety Instructions and those listed below.

•

Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical

power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.

•

Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer

interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.

INSIDE

•

Clean the lint ﬁ lter after every load. Lint build-up on the

ﬁ lter restricts air ﬂ ow, which causes longer drying times.

The ﬁ lter is located at the bottom of the door open-

ing. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and

replace the ﬁ lter.

•

Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint ﬁ lter

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 ﬁ lter thoroughly and replace.

Do not operate the dryer without the lint ﬁ lter 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 dry-

er cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect

lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up

could result in inefﬁ cient drying and possible ﬁ re hazard.

OUTSIDE

•

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.

•

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.

•

When cleaning chrome parts use a window cleaner with

ammonia or mild soap and water.

•

Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin

ﬁ berboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage

to the ﬂ oor.
