WARNING
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this dryer.
This guide covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the cycles and features described.
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to
remove dust from storing and shipping.
1.
Clean lint screen before each load. See "Cleaning the Lint
Screen."
2.
Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do
not pack the dryer. For best results, allow space for clothes
to tumble freely.
3.
Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle
for the type of load being dried. Use the Energy Preferred
Automatic Setting to dry most heavy to medium-weight
fabrics.
4.
If your dryer has a Temperature selector, set it to the
recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried.
See "Cycle Guide" for temperature suggestions. On some
models, temperature is included in the cycle selections.
5.
(OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a Wrinkle Shield™ feature
selector. Use this to avoid wrinkling when you are unable to
remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops.
6.
(OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an End of Cycle Signal.
The signal is helpful when drying items that should be
removed from the dryer as soon as it stops.
The End of Cycle signal is part of the Start button and is
selectable. Turn the Start button to ON or OFF. The signal will
sound only if the selector is set to On.
7.
If desired, add fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
8.
Push the Start button or knob.
Stopping and Restarting
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.

DRYER USE
Starting Your Dryer
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).

Use the Drying Rack to dry items such as sweaters and pillows
without tumbling. The drum turns, but the drying rack does not
move.
If your model does not have a drying rack, you may be able to
purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model
allows drying rack usage and for information on ordering, please
refer to the front page of the manual or contact the dealer from
whom you purchased your dryer.
NOTE: The drying rack must be removed for normal tumbling.

items. Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the drying
rack. Close the door.
